Got it. So this code here:

  def mount(_params, %{"user_token" => user_token}, socket) do
    user = user_token && Accounts.get_user_by_session_token(user_token)
    ...
  end

Is actually a direct copy from UserAuth repurposed for the live view mount. If you want to create something that is more general purpose you might do this:

def get_current_user(%{"user_token" => user_token} = _session) do
  user_token && Accounts.get_user_by_session_token(user_token)
end

Then you can do this in any of your mounts:

  def mount(_params, session, socket) do
    user = get_current_user(session)
  end
