FWIW, ChrisMcCord mentioned colocated JS as a goal for 1.0, although he’s not sure if it will be done in time for the initial release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FADQAnq0RpA&t=3685s
Another question on this topic: are there any remaining advantages to Surface over LiveView at this point?
While it’s been great to see LiveView adopt some of Surface’s goodies, there’s still more:
css_variant option on component props to auto-generate CSS class (i.e. tailwind) variants based on prop valuesDynamic.Component and Dynamic.LiveComponent for including components with a dynamic name (eg. configurable widgets)MacroComponent for creating specific components that are rendered at compile time (eg. to process static content like markdown, SVG icons, etc only once)
