LiveView - passing info from the conn to the socket

Hi,

What would be a good way to pass some information from the conn to the LiveView socket ?
Let’s assume the following example

router.ex

scope "/admin", MyAppWeb.Admin do
  ......
  pipe_through :ensure_admin_authenticated
  live "/article/:id/edit"
end

In my ensure_admin_authenticated plug I check the current user, see if it is admin and assign it to the conn.

I would like to have that available in the LiveView socket. For example, if I render the LiveView from a controller, I can use the session to pass the user, but I would not want to use controllers if possible.

Thanks
