Rendering template from another folder

Phoenix Forum Questions / Help

I want to dynamically render templates from one live view using a single view. I’d like to have a folder structure like

templates
-name
--thing
---index.html.heex
-name
--thing
---index.html.heex

and then render templates depending on the name in the live view something like:

defmodule MyApp.ThingLive.Index do

use MyWeb, :live_view

  ...
  def render(%{name: name} = assigns) do
    Phoenix.View.render(MyWeb.ThingView, "#{name}/thing/index.html", assigns)
  end
  ...
end


defmodule MyWeb.ThingView do
  use MyWeb, :view
end

I’ve tried doing something like this: How to render a template inside a “web/templates/folder/subfolder” - #6 by chrismccord, but didn’t have any success because it just broke other things.
