Okay…

def on_mount(:assign_configuration, _params, session, socket) do
socket =
socket
|> Phoenix.Component.assign(:configuration, Map.get(session, "configuration"))
|> Phoenix.Component.assign(:current_host, Map.get(session, "current_host"))
|> Phoenix.Component.assign(:current_path, Map.get(session, "current_path"))
{:cont, socket}
end
index.ex
def mount(_params, _session, socket) do
socket =
socket

{:ok, socket, layout: layout}
end
This is the flow I have right now that’s working! I was able to remove extraneous hooks and consolidate some functionality into the on_mount. And it looks like Phoenix actually is letting me pass the layout template as a string, too, although it does complain that this is deprecated. So no String.to_atom for now (and if I do have to do that later I think I can just whitelist it based on existing themes).
So the only thing I have to append to every liveview is
layout = {MyAppWeb.Layouts, socket.assigns.configuration.theme}
{:ok, socket, layout: layout}
Not too bad.
And to be clear I meant like they could potentially manipulate the session based on the hostname. If you are whitelisting hostnames then it’s no problem.
This area is all public stuff you can view by simply going to that site, so that should be fine as I understand it. Unless there’s anything drastic I’m missing.
