Use Routes.static_path in LiveComponent

You can also pass the Endpoint: Routes.static_path(MyAppWeb.Endpoint, ...)

Heads up – you can’t and also shouldn’t. A conn is not easily serializable like it’s needed for the data in the session.

I think Routes.static_path(@socket, ...) should work.

Thanks everyone!

What about named paths? I’m converting my partials into components but I can’t do this anymore:

<%= Routes.job_path(@conn, :index) %>

What is the proper way to link to a non-live view from a live view, as we don’t have @conn or Routes?

Path helpers can take the @conn, @socket or even the Endpoint as 1st argument. As for Routes, it’s just a module: alias MyAppWeb.Router.Helpers, as: Routes (you probably have this in your my_app_web.ex file)

Ah, of course that was it! Thanks for the help.

For the record, the alias for Routes is defined like this: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/installation.html#phx-gen-live-support

In my case it wasn’t working because I was using:

use Phoenix.LiveComponent

when I should use:

use MyAppWeb, :live_component
