I tried to unsubscribe old channel and to subscribe new channel in LiveComponent.
I expected that old channel is in the assigns of socket in update/2 callback of LiveComponent, but it isn’t.
All assigns of socket don’t exist.
@impl true
def update(assigns, socket) do
old_channel_name = socket.assigns[:channel_name]
new_channel_name = assigns.channel_name
IO.inspect(socket.assigns, label: "socket.assigns")
IO.inspect({old_channel_name, new_channel_name}, label: "assigns")
if connected?(socket) do
if old_channel_name do
:ok = Chat.unsubscribe_channel(old_channel_name)
end
:ok = Chat.subscribe_channel(new_channel_name)
end
socket =
socket
|> assign(assigns)
|> assign_messages(new_channel_name)
{:ok, socket}
end
Can’t I get the old assigns in update/2 callback of LiveComponent?

Where do you assign
channel_name?benwilson512
https://github.com/nallwhy/json_corp/blob/chat/apps/json_corp_web/lib/json_corp_web/live/playgrounds/chat_live.ex#L28
You have an
idof the dom element based on the channel name. If the channel name changes then the id changes, which means you’re instantiating a new live component instead of reusing the existing one.nallwhy
Thank you so much!

No problem! Thanks so much for having the full code up, it makes answering these sorts of questions super easy!

Bumping into this quite a lot.
idvs DOM.id, when it should be unique and when not, how to guarantee that, is one of those topics that are a little vague.
