Great, thank you @outlog!

I’m currently using alpine.js with phx-update="ignore" - While not ideal, I don’t want to create anything more complex until a more robust solution presents itself.
There is this article about combining alpine.js with Liveview, but I didn’t find the proposed solution to work properly, and it still got wound up in Liveview updates unless you added the phx-update="ignore" property.
For simple things like menu popovers and mobile navigation hamburgers, it feels a bit complex to be wiring state to and from a Liveview. I also didn’t like the idea of having to wire up views to catch taps outside the controls, to dismiss them.
I’ll see how it goes using Liveview with a sprinkle of alpine. Ideally, it would be amazing if Liveview had alpine.js style markup for simple show/hide view transitions.

LiveView added support for AlpineJS in 0.13.3. It works great, with no phx-update="ignore" necessary. I wrote about it here:

Very nice blog post! Really looking forward to the next one showing transitions with LV, AlpineJS, and Tailwind CSS.
I have been following Slack and I think Chris went over a high level near term roadmap for LV in his ElixirConf EU V 2020 video a couple weeks ago. I can’t find the video posted yet on YouTube but does anyone know if there is a plan for native LV transition support without AlpineJS? Alpine integration is great for many usecases but if simple transitions will be natively supported then it probably makes sense for me to wait and not add excess complexity for that yet. Does anyone know if the video is posted?

Fantastic write-up. Very in-depth. TBH, approaching alpine and seeing it on Tailwind website I was expecting a simple system to just manage transitions and visual appearance, but this looks much fuller. Looking forward to write-up covering show / hide and transitions. Excellent work!

I just sent an email asking about the video. Not sure if they will be charging for them because it was done virtually online?

I received a response, and they are looking at possibilities putting up an online viewing subscription.
This must be tough for them because if they make it too cheap, many will choose to skip the live online conference, and just wait for the videos. I suspect they will keep the teaching sessions private (or make them a premium-pay service), and provide a less-expensive membership to view the talks?
I will support them either way
