Abstract:
LiveView revolutionized web development by enabling server-rendered, dynamic UI. Just as our applications grow in complexity, we often find ourselves needing more sophisticated client-side interactions. While LiveView excels at server-driven UI, managing complex client-side state can become challenging.
This talk explores how integrating a frontend library with LiveView offers the best of both worlds: LiveView’s powerful server-side model combined with the rich ecosystem of modern frontend frameworks. Using LiveVue as a case study, we’ll demonstrate practical patterns for managing client-state, leveraging existing frontend components, and maintaining a clean architecture. You’ll learn when and how to introduce a frontend library to complement LiveView, not replace it.
