Hello Everyone, I’m trying to make Pow register form validation trough LiveView which I more or less succeeded at. However, upon user creation pow normally would log the user trough the plug: from pow docs def create(conn, %{"user" => user_params}) do conn |> Pow.Plug.create_user(user_pa…

Why do you want this in a LiveView?

Very good question, this was a task given to me by a “mentor”. Initially I got that as to validate the form on the fly and I believe most of the app would move into liveview and the form would expand.

What I was thinking was just use the validation and post it to the pow custom controller. Thank you Chris. And exactly one of the reasons to use LV on such a simple task is the added “user value”.
