JS.show in handle_event instead of phx-click with JS.show

Hi!

Do you really want to wait until the server event is handled before changing the page?

If so, you have a few options:

update an assign and let the LiveView update the page HTML
send an event back to the client, which you can handle within a client hook
- Handling server-pushed events
- Client hooks via phx-hook
dispatch an event stored in an attribute
- exec(attr)
maybe others I don’t think of now

But maybe you’d be better off doing an optimistic UI change, see José Valim explain in https://youtu.be/fCdi7SEPrTs?si=iyxZM8FdE7clKYKI.
