stream_insert update_only aka stream_update

[SteffenDE]

Fixes #2690.
Relates to: https://elixirforum.com/t/add-stream-update-to-liveview-streams/68107

Work in progress, no tests yet.

Please see the attached links and let's decide if this is something we now want to support.

@josevalim let me know if you think that this is worth pursuing now that 1.0 is out.

Thank you for the ping. My opinion is no longer relevant. You are a more active maintainer of the project than I am, so it is truly your decision. :) Chris may have thoughts!

[lemaster]

Happy New Year everyone. Is there anything I can do to help move this issue along?

[SteffenDE]

Hey @lemaster,

you can try out the functionality with

{:phoenix_live_view, github: "phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view", branch: "sd-stream_insert_update_only-assets", override: true}

and give us feedback if it works as you'd expect.

We're currently waiting for feedback from Chris, but if he approves this change it'll move along :)

[lemaster]

I tested it out and it worked as expected. Thanks!

[SteffenDE]

I'd still like feedback from @chrismccord if he'd rather do stream_update or do it as an option on stream_insert (like the current implementation).

[lemaster]

Awesome to see it's still in progress. Thanks again. I shall wait patiently.

[lemaster]

Is there a chance that this will go out as part of the phoenix 1.8 release?

[SteffenDE]

LiveView and Phoenix releases aren’t coupled. I’m planning to talk to Chris at ElixirConf :)

[SteffenDE]

Will be part of LiveView 1.1!
