Enhancing Phoenix LiveView with ok/1 and noreply/1 Helpers

German Velasco discusses a common inconvenience faced by Phoenix LiveView developers when they cannot use pipes with the typical {:ok, socket} and {:noreply, socket} return values in LiveViews. To improve the situation, he introduces two helper functions, ok/1 and noreply/1, that simply return {:ok, socket} and {:noreply, socket} respectively. These functions make the code cleaner and more consistent. Velasco credits a colleague for the brilliant idea of placing these helper functions into the Web.live_view/0 function, which automatically includes them in all LiveView modules. This practice enhances the developer experience by reducing repetitive code patterns and streamlining LiveView definitions.
