defmodule Phoenix.LiveView do
@moduledoc ~S'''
A LiveView is a process that receives events, updates
its state, and render updates to a page as diffs.
The LiveView programming model is declarative: instead of
saying "once event X happens, change Y on the page",
events in LiveView are regular messages which may cause
changes to its state. Once the state changes, LiveView will
re-render the relevant parts of its HTML template and push it
to the browser, which updates itself in the most efficient
manner. This means developers write LiveView templates as
any other server-rendered HTML and LiveView does the hard
work of tracking changes and sending the relevant diffs to
the browser.
LiveView state is nothing more than functional and immutable
Elixir data structures. The events are either internal application messages
(usually emitted by `Phoenix.PubSub`) or sent by the client/browser.
LiveView is first rendered statically as part of regular
HTTP requests, which provides quick times for "First Meaningful
Paint", in addition to helping search and indexing engines.
Then a persistent connection is established between client and
server. This allows LiveView applications to react faster to user
events as there is less work to be done and less data to be sent
compared to stateless requests that have to authenticate, decode, load,
and encode data on every request.
## Life-cycle
A LiveView begins as a regular HTTP request and HTML response,
and then upgrades to a stateful view on client connect,
guaranteeing a regular HTML page even if JavaScript is disabled.
Any time a stateful view changes or updates its socket assigns, it is
automatically re-rendered and the updates are pushed to the client.
Socket assigns are stateful values kept on the server side in
`Phoenix.LiveView.Socket`. This is different from the common stateless
HTTP pattern of sending the connection state to the client in the form
of a token or cookie and rebuilding the state on the server to service
every request.
You begin by rendering a LiveView typically from your router.
When LiveView is first rendered, the `c:mount/3` callback is invoked
with the current params, the current session and the LiveView socket.
As in a regular request, `params` contains public data that can be
modified by the user. The `session` always contains private data set
by the application itself. The `c:mount/3` callback wires up socket
assigns necessary for rendering the view. After mounting, `c:handle_params/3`
is invoked so uri and query params are handled. Finally, `c:render/1`
is invoked and the HTML is sent as a regular HTML response to the
client.
After rendering the static page, LiveView connects from the client
to the server where stateful views are spawned to push rendered updates
to the browser, and receive client events via `phx-` bindings. Just like
the first rendering, `c:mount/3`, is invoked with params, session,
and socket state. However in the connected client case, a LiveView process
is spawned on the server, runs `c:handle_params/3` again and then pushes
the result of `c:render/1` to the client and continues on for the duration
of the connection. If at any point during the stateful life-cycle a crash
is encountered, or the client connection drops, the client gracefully
reconnects to the server, calling `c:mount/3` and `c:handle_params/3` again.
LiveView also allows attaching hooks to specific life-cycle stages with
`attach_hook/4`.
## Example
A LiveView is a module that requires two callbacks: `c:mount/3` and
`c:render/1`:
defmodule MyAppWeb.ThermostatLive do
# In Phoenix v1.6+ apps, the line is typically: use MyAppWeb, :live_view
use Phoenix.LiveView
def render(assigns) do
~H"""
Current temperature: <%= @temperature %>
"""
end
def mount(_params, %{"current_user_id" => user_id}, socket) do
temperature = Thermostat.get_user_reading(user_id)
{:ok, assign(socket, :temperature, temperature)}
end
end
The `c:render/1` callback receives the `socket.assigns` and is responsible
for returning rendered content. We use the `~H` sigil to define a HEEx
template, which stands for HTML+EEx. They are an extension of Elixir's
builtin EEx templates, with support for HTML validation, syntax-based
components, smart change tracking, and more. You can learn more about
the template syntax in `Phoenix.Component.sigil_H/2` (note
`Phoenix.Component` is automatically imported when you use `Phoenix.LiveView`).
Next, decide where you want to use your LiveView.
You can serve the LiveView directly from your router (recommended):
defmodule MyAppWeb.Router do
use Phoenix.Router
import Phoenix.LiveView.Router
scope "/", MyAppWeb do
live "/thermostat", ThermostatLive
end
end
*Note:* the above assumes there is `plug :put_root_layout` call
in your router that configures the LiveView layout. This call is
automatically included in Phoenix v1.6 apps and described in
[the installation guide](installation.md#layouts).
Alternatively, you can `live_render` from any template. In your view:
import Phoenix.Component
Then in your template:
<h1>Temperature Control</h1>
<%= live_render(@conn, MyAppWeb.ThermostatLive) %>
Once the LiveView is rendered, a regular HTML response is sent. In your
app.js file, you should find the following:
import {Socket} from "phoenix"
import {LiveSocket} from "phoenix_live_view"
let csrfToken = document.querySelector("meta[name='csrf-token']").getAttribute("content")
let liveSocket = new LiveSocket("/live", Socket, {params: {_csrf_token: csrfToken}})
liveSocket.connect()
After the client connects, `c:mount/3` will be invoked inside a spawned
LiveView process. At this point, you can use `connected?/1` to
conditionally perform stateful work, such as subscribing to pubsub topics,
sending messages, etc. For example, you can periodically update a LiveView
with a timer:
defmodule DemoWeb.ThermostatLive do
use Phoenix.LiveView
...
def mount(_params, %{"current_user_id" => user_id}, socket) do
if connected?(socket), do: Process.send_after(self(), :update, 30000)
case Thermostat.get_user_reading(user_id) do
{:ok, temperature} ->
{:ok, assign(socket, temperature: temperature, user_id: user_id)}
{:error, _reason} ->
{:ok, redirect(socket, to: "/error")}
end
end
def handle_info(:update, socket) do
Process.send_after(self(), :update, 30000)
{:ok, temperature} = Thermostat.get_reading(socket.assigns.user_id)
{:noreply, assign(socket, :temperature, temperature)}
end
end
We used `connected?(socket)` on mount to send our view a message every 30s if
the socket is in a connected state. We receive the `:update` message in the
`c:handle_info/2` callback, just like in an Elixir `GenServer`, and update our
socket assigns. Whenever a socket's assigns change, `c:render/1` is automatically
invoked, and the updates are sent to the client.
## Colocating templates
In the examples above, we have placed the template directly inside the
LiveView:
defmodule MyAppWeb.ThermostatLive do
use Phoenix.LiveView
def render(assigns) do
~H"""
Current temperature: <%= @temperature %>
"""
end
For larger templates, you can place them in a file in the same directory
and same name as the LiveView. For example, if the file above is placed
at `lib/my_app_web/live/thermostat_live.ex`, you can also remove the
`c:render/1` definition above and instead put the template code at
`lib/my_app_web/live/thermostat_live.html.heex`.
In all cases, each assign in the template will be accessible as `@assign`.
You can learn more about [assigns and HEEx templates in their own guide](assigns-eex.md).
## Bindings
Phoenix supports DOM element bindings for client-server interaction. For
example, to react to a click on a button, you would render the element:
<button phx-click="inc_temperature">+</button>
Then on the server, all LiveView bindings are handled with the `c:handle_event/3`
callback, for example:
def handle_event("inc_temperature", _value, socket) do
{:ok, new_temp} = Thermostat.inc_temperature(socket.assigns.id)
{:noreply, assign(socket, :temperature, new_temp)}
end
To update UI state, for example, to open and close dropdowns, switch tabs,
etc, LiveView also supports JS commands (`Phoenix.LiveView.JS`), which
execute directly on the client without reaching the server. To learn more,
see [our bindings page](bindings.md) for a complete list of all LiveView
bindings as well as our [JavaScript interoperability guide](js-interop.md).
## Compartmentalize state, markup, and events in LiveView
LiveView supports two extension mechanisms: function components, provided by
`HEEx` templates, and stateful components.
Function components are any function that receives an assigns map, similar
to `render(assigns)` in our LiveView, and returns a `~H` template. For example:
def weather_greeting(assigns) do
~H"""
<div title="My div" class={@class}>
<p>Hello <%= @name %></p>
<MyApp.Weather.city name="Kraków"/>
</div>
"""
end
You can learn more about function components in the `Phoenix.Component`
module. At the end of the day, they are a useful mechanism to reuse markup
in your LiveViews.
However, sometimes you need to compartmentalize or reuse more than markup.
Perhaps you want to move part of the state or part of the events in your
LiveView to a separate module. For these cases, LiveView provides
`Phoenix.LiveComponent`, which are rendered using
[`live_component/1`](`Phoenix.Component.live_component/1`):
<.live_component module={UserComponent} id={user.id} user={user} />
Components have their own `c:mount/3` and `c:handle_event/3` callbacks, as
well as their own state with change tracking support. Components are also
lightweight as they "run" in the same process as the parent `LiveView`.
However, this means an error in a component would cause the whole view to
fail to render. See `Phoenix.LiveComponent` for a complete rundown on components.
Finally, if you want complete isolation between parts of a LiveView, you can
always render a LiveView inside another LiveView by calling
[`live_render/3`](`Phoenix.Component.live_render/3`). This child LiveView
runs in a separate process than the parent, with its own callbacks. If a child
LiveView crashes, it won't affect the parent. If the parent crashes, all children
are terminated.
When rendering a child LiveView, the `:id` option is required to uniquely
identify the child. A child LiveView will only ever be rendered and mounted
a single time, provided its ID remains unchanged. To force a child to re-mount
with new session data, a new ID must be provided.
Given that a LiveView runs on its own process, it is an excellent tool for creating
completely isolated UI elements, but it is a slightly expensive abstraction if
all you want is to compartmentalize markup or events (or both).
To sum it up:
* use `Phoenix.Component` to compartmentalize/reuse markup
* use `Phoenix.LiveComponent` to compartmentalize state, markup, and events
* use nested `Phoenix.LiveView` to compartmentalize state, markup, events, and error isolation
## Endpoint configuration
LiveView accepts the following configuration in your endpoint under
the `:live_view` key:
* `:signing_salt` (required) - the salt used to sign data sent
to the client
* `:hibernate_after` (optional) - the idle time in milliseconds allowed in
the LiveView before compressing its own memory and state.
Defaults to 15000ms (15 seconds)

Declares a module callback to be invoked on the LiveView's mount.
The function within the given module, which must be named `on_mount`,
will be invoked before both disconnected and connected mounts. The hook
has the option to either halt or continue the mounting process as usual.
If you wish to redirect the LiveView, you **must** halt, otherwise an error
will be raised.
Tip: if you need to define multiple `on_mount` callbacks, avoid defining
multiple modules. Instead, pass a tuple and use pattern matching to handle
different cases:
def on_mount(:admin, _params, _session, socket) do
{:cont, socket}
end
def on_mount(:user, _params, _session, socket) do
{:cont, socket}
end
And then invoke it as:
on_mount {MyAppWeb.SomeHook, :admin}
on_mount {MyAppWeb.SomeHook, :user}
Registering `on_mount` hooks can be useful to perform authentication

Pushes an event to the client.
Events can be handled in two ways:
1. They can be handled on `window` via `addEventListener`.
A "phx:" prefix will be added to the event name.
2. They can be handled inside a hook via `handleEvent`.
Note that events are dispatched to all active hooks on the client who are
handling the given `event`. If you need to scope events, then this must
be done by namespacing them.
## Hook example
If you push a "scores" event from your LiveView:
{:noreply, push_event(socket, "scores", %{points: 100, user: "josé"})}
A hook declared via `phx-hook` can handle it via `handleEvent`:
this.handleEvent("scores", data => ...)
## `window` example
All events are also dispatched on the `window`. This means you can handle
them by adding listeners. For example, if you want to remove an element
from the page, you can do this:
{:noreply, push_event(socket, "remove-el", %{id: "foo-bar"})}

Connect params are only sent when the client connects to the server and
only remain available during mount. `nil` is returned when called in a
disconnected state and a `RuntimeError` is raised if called after mount.
## Reserved params
The following params have special meaning in LiveView:
* `"_csrf_token"` - the CSRF Token which must be explicitly set by the user
when connecting
* `"_mounts"` - the number of times the current LiveView is mounted.
It is 0 on first mount, then increases on each reconnect. It resets
when navigating away from the current LiveView or on errors
* `"_track_static"` - set automatically with a list of all href/src from
tags with the `phx-track-static` annotation in them. If there are no
such tags, nothing is sent

Returns true if the socket is connected and the tracked static assets have changed.
This function is useful to detect if the client is running on an outdated
version of the marked static files. It works by comparing the static paths
sent by the client with the one on the server.
**Note:** this functionality requires Phoenix v1.5.2 or later.
To use this functionality, the first step is to annotate which static files
you want to be tracked by LiveView, with the `phx-track-static`. For example:
<link phx-track-static rel="stylesheet" href="<%= Routes.static_path(@conn, "/css/app.css") %>"/>
<script defer phx-track-static type="text/javascript" src="<%= Routes.static_path(@conn, "/js/app.js") %>"></script>
Now, whenever LiveView connects to the server, it will send a copy `src`
or `href` attributes of all tracked statics and compare those values with
the latest entries computed by `mix phx.digest` in the server.
The tracked statics on the client will match the ones on the server the
huge majority of times. However, if there is a new deployment, those values
may differ. You can use this function to detect those cases and show a
banner to the user, asking them to reload the page. To do so, first set the
assign on mount:
def mount(params, session, socket) do
{:ok, assign(socket, static_changed?: static_changed?(socket))}
end
And then in your views:
<%= if @static_changed? do %>
<div id="reload-static">
The app has been updated. Click here to <a href="#" onclick="window.location.reload()">reload</a>.
</div>
<% end %>
If you prefer, you can also send a JavaScript script that immediately
reloads the page.
**Note:** only set `phx-track-static` on your own assets. For example, do
not set it in external JavaScript files:
<script defer phx-track-static type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Because you don't actually serve the file above, LiveView will interpret
the static above as missing, and this function will return true.

Asynchronously updates a `Phoenix.LiveComponent` with new assigns.
The `:id` that identifies the component must be passed as part of the
assigns and it will be used to identify the live components to be updated.
The `pid` argument is optional and it defaults to the current process,
which means the update instruction will be sent to a component running
on the same LiveView. If the current process is not a LiveView or you
want to send updates to a live component running on another LiveView,
you should explicitly pass the LiveView's pid instead.
When the component receives the update, first the optional
[`preload/1`](`c:Phoenix.LiveComponent.preload/1`) then
[`update/2`](`c:Phoenix.LiveComponent.update/2`) is invoked with the new assigns.
If [`update/2`](`c:Phoenix.LiveComponent.update/2`) is not defined
all assigns are simply merged into the socket. The assigns received as the first argument of the [`update/2`](`c:Phoenix.LiveComponent.update/2`) callback will only include the _new_ assigns passed from this function. Pre-existing assigns may be found in `socket.assigns`.
While a component may always be updated from the parent by updating some
parent assigns which will re-render the child, thus invoking
[`update/2`](`c:Phoenix.LiveComponent.update/2`) on the child component,
`send_update/3` is useful for updating a component that entirely manages its
own state, as well as messaging between components mounted in the same
LiveView.

Attaches the given `fun` by `name` for the lifecycle `stage` into `socket`.
> Note: This function is for server-side lifecycle callbacks.
> For client-side hooks, see the
> [JS Interop guide](js-interop.html#client-hooks).
Hooks provide a mechanism to tap into key stages of the LiveView
lifecycle in order to bind/update assigns, intercept events,
patches, and regular messages when necessary, and to inject
common functionality. Use `attach_hook/1` on any of the following
lifecycle stages: `:handle_params`, `:handle_event`, `:handle_info`, and
`:after_render`. To attach a hook to the `:mount` stage, use `on_mount/1`.
> Note: only `:after_render` hooks are currently supported in LiveComponents.
## Return Values
Lifecycle hooks take place immediately before a given lifecycle
callback is invoked on the LiveView. With the exception of `:after_render`,
a hook may return `{:halt, socket}` to halt the reduction, otherwise
it must return `{:cont, socket}` so the operation may continue until
all hooks have been invoked for the current stage.
For `:after_render` hooks, the `socket` itself must be returned.
Any updates to the socket assigns *will not* trigger a new render
or diff calculation to the client.
## Halting the lifecycle
Note that halting from a hook _will halt the entire lifecycle stage_.
This means that when a hook returns `{:halt, socket}` then the
LiveView callback will **not** be invoked. This has some
implications.
### Implications for plugin authors
When defining a plugin that matches on specific callbacks, you **must**
define a catch-all clause, as your hook will be invoked even for events
you may not be interested on.
### Implications for end-users
Allowing a hook to halt the invocation of the callback means that you can
attach hooks to intercept specific events before detaching themselves,
while allowing other events to continue normally.
## Replying to events
Hooks attached to the `:handle_event` stage are able to reply to client events
by returning `{:halt, reply, socket}`. This is useful especially for [JavaScript
interoperability](js-interop.html#client-hooks-via-phx-hook) because a client hook
can push an event and receive a reply.
## Examples
Attaching and detaching a hook:
def mount(_params, _session, socket) do
socket =
attach_hook(socket, :my_hook, :handle_event, fn
"very-special-event", _params, socket ->
# Handle the very special event and then detach the hook
{:halt, detach_hook(socket, :my_hook, :handle_event)}
_event, _params, socket ->
{:cont, socket}
end)
{:ok, socket}
end
Replying to a client event:
# JavaScript:
# let Hooks = {}
# Hooks.ClientHook = {
# mounted() {
# this.pushEvent("ClientHook:mounted", {hello: "world"}, (reply) => {
# console.log("received reply:", reply)
# })
# }
# }

Assigns a new stream to the socket or inserts items into an existing stream.
Streams are a mechanism for managing large collections on the client without
keeping the resources on the server.
* `name` - The string or atom name of the key to place under the
`@streams` assign.
* `items` - The enumerable of items to insert.
The following options are supported:
* `:at` - the index to insert or update the items in the
collection on the client. By default `-1` is used, which appends the items
to the parent DOM container. A value of `0` prepends the items.
* `:reset` - the boolean to reset the stream on the client or not. Defaults
to `false`.
* `:limit` - the optional positive or negative number of results to limit
on the UI on the client. As new items are streamed, the UI will remove existing
items to maintain the limit. For example, to limit the stream to the last 10 items
in the UI while appending new items, pass a negative value:
stream(socket, :posts, posts, at: -1, limit: -10)
Likewise, to limit the stream to the first 10 items, while prepending new items,
pass a positive value:
stream(socket, :posts, posts, at: 0, limit: 10)
Once a stream is defined, a new `@streams` assign is available containing
the name of the defined streams. For example, in the above definition, the
stream may be referenced as `@streams.songs` in your template. Stream items
are temporary and freed from socket state as soon as they are rendered.
By default, calling `stream/4` on an existing stream will bulk insert the new items
on the client while leaving the existing items in place. Streams may also be reset
when calling `stream/4`, which we discuss below.
## Resetting a stream
To empty a stream container on the client, you can pass `:reset` with an empty list:
stream(socket, :songs, [], reset: true)
Or you can replace the entire stream on the client with a new collection:
stream(socket, :songs, new_songs, reset: true)
## Limiting a stream
It is often useful to limit the number of items in the UI while allowing the
server to stream new items in a fire-and-forget fashion. This prevents
the server from overwhelming the client with new results while also opening up
powerful features like virtualized infinite scrolling. See a complete
bidirectional infinite scrolling example with stream limits in the
[scroll events guide](bindings.md#scroll-events-and-infinite-stream-pagination)
When a stream exceeds the limit on the client, the existing items will be pruned
based on the number of items in the stream container and the limit direction. A
positive limit will prune items from the end of the container, while a negative
limit will prune items from the beginning of the container.
## Required DOM attributes
For stream items to be trackable on the client, the following requirements
must be met:
1. The parent DOM container must include a `phx-update="stream"` attribute,
along with a unique DOM id.
2. Each stream item must include its DOM id on the item's element.
> **Note**: Failing to place `phx-update="stream"` on the **immediate parent** for
> **each stream** will result in broken behavior.
When consuming a stream in a template, the DOM id and item is passed as a tuple,
allowing convenient inclusion of the DOM id for each item. For example:
```heex
<table>
<tbody id="songs" phx-update="stream">
<tr
:for={{dom_id, song} <- @streams.songs}
id={dom_id}
>
<td><%= song.title %></td>
<td><%= song.duration %></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
```
We consume the stream in a for comprehension by referencing the
`@streams.songs` assign. We used the computed DOM id to populate
the `<tr>` id, then we render the table row as usual.
Now `stream_insert/3` and `stream_delete/3` may be issued and new rows will
be inserted or deleted from the client.
"""

end
socket
|> ensure_streams()
|> assign_stream(name, items, opts)
end
@doc ~S"""
Configures a stream.
The following options are supported:
* `:dom_id` - The optional function to generate each stream item's DOM id.
The function accepts each stream item and converts the item to a string id.
By default, the `:id` field of a map or struct will be used if the item has
such a field, and will be prefixed by the `name` hyphenated with the id.
For example, the following examples are equivalent:
stream(socket, :songs, songs)
socket
|> stream_configure(:songs, dom_id: &("songs-#{&1.id}"))
|> stream(:songs, songs)
A stream must be configured before items are inserted, and once configured,
a stream may not be re-configured. To ensure a stream is only configured a
single time in a LiveComponent, use the `mount/1` callback. For example:
def mount(socket) do
{:ok, stream_configure(socket, :songs, dom_id: &("songs-#{&1.id}"))}

Inserts a new item or updates an existing item in the stream.
By default, the item is appended to the parent DOM container.
The `:at` option may be provided to insert or update an item
to a particular index in the collection on the client.
See `stream/4` for inserting multiple items at once.
## Examples
Imagine you define a stream on mount with a single item:
stream(socket, :songs, [%Song{id: 1, title: "Song 1"}])
Then, in a callback such as `handle_info` or `handle_event`, you
can append a new song:
stream_insert(socket, :songs, %Song{id: 2, title: "Song 2"})
Or prepend a new song with `at: 0`:
stream_insert(socket, :songs, %Song{id: 2, title: "Song 2"}, at: 0)
Or updating an existing song, while also moving it to the top of the collection:
stream_insert(socket, :songs, %Song{id: 1, title: "Song 1 updated"}, at: 0)
## Updating Items
As shown, an existing item on the client can be updated by issuing a `stream_insert` for
the existing item. When the client updates an existing item with an "append" operation
(passing the `at: -1` option), the item will remain in the same location as it was
previously, and will not be moved to the end of the parent children. To both update an
existing item and move it to the end of a collection, issue a `stream_delete`, followed
by a `stream_insert`. For example:
song = get_song!(id)
socket
|> stream_delete(:songs, song)
|> stream_insert(:songs, song, at: -1)
See `stream_delete/3` for more information on deleting items.

@doc """
Deletes an item from the stream.
The item's DOM is computed from the `:dom_id` provided in the `stream/3` definition.
Delete information for this DOM id is sent to the client and the item's element
is removed from the DOM, following the same behavior of element removal, such as
invoking `phx-remove` commands and executing client hook `destroyed()` callbacks.
## Examples
def handle_event("delete", %{"id" => id}, socket) do
song = get_song!(id)
{:noreply, stream_delete(socket, :songs, song)}
end
See `stream_delete_by_dom_id/3` to remove an item without requiring the
original datastructure.

@doc ~S'''
Deletes an item from the stream given its computed DOM id.
Behaves just like `stream_delete/3`, but accept the precomputed DOM id,
which allows deleting from a stream without fetching or building the original
stream datastructure.
## Examples
def render(assigns) do
~H"""
<table>
<tbody id="songs" phx-update="stream">
<tr
:for={{dom_id, song} <- @streams.songs}
id={dom_id}
