If I have an assigns variable, how can I pass that to the Javascript tag? The following would work in Ruby Slim, but does not seem to in Elixir's Slime.
javascript:
window.currentUser = { username: @username }

You can inject a value using #{}:
javascript:
window.currentUser = { username: #{username} }
You'll probably want to JSON encode the variable so that strings are inserted as double quoted escaped JavaScript strings. With Poison, you can do:
javascript:
window.currentUser = { username: #{Poison.encode!(username)} }
If username is the string foo, the first one will render to:
<script>window.currentUser = { username: foo }</script>
while the second one will render to:
<script>window.currentUser = { username: "foo" }</script>

In my case Elixir escaped HTML entities in the JSON string, so I had to additionally unescape them
