I'm reproducing Chris' original thermostat LV demo and he uses live_render to render one liveview within another. Do we support that?

I'm guessing we do not

I actually haven’t tested that so I’m not sure? If you’re working off main you could try this, if that doesn’t work it’s something we’ll have to add support for
Untitled

live_render(conn_or_socket, SomeLiveView, session: %{"lvn" => %{"format" => "swiftui"}})

you could also refactor it to use a LiveComponent, which are working

I recall discussing this very early on with Anil but I'm pretty certain it wasn't implemented. I'm not yet working with LVN I'm currently porting his demo to a modern phoenix install

oops that snippet was wrong, fixed
12:12
oh gotcha
12:14
I’ve only used live_render a few times when I was migrating Phoenix controllers to LiveView for a project since it lets you render a LiveView in a dead template
12:14
so I’m not really sure how it works lol

yeah I think we'll have to scope this out for LVN Core, I don't think it is worth trying to get into the swiftui client at this point. Maybe that can be a v0.4 thing. I honestly don't know how often people are using live_render to render LVs within LVs. I'll have to figure out what type of priority this is
