Problem description

When adding a subnavigation in a panel which has SPA mode turned on, the subnavigation links always do a full page load regardless. There is no way to get them to do a page load SPA style.

Expected behavior

If the panel is in SPA mode, subnavigation links by default should also load in SPA mode

Steps to reproduce

Create a panel and add ->spa() to the panel configuration Add a subnavigation to a resource or page Notice how the subnavigation links always do a full page load and never contain wire:navigate

I got the same issue, the navigation menu is not persistent in spa mode

Avoid using this:

NavigationItem::make()
    ->label('Test')
    ->url('test/123')

Instead, use:

NavigationItem::make()
    ->label('Test')
    ->url(route('your_route_name'))

By using the route() helper, the system will correctly identify it as an application route and handle it as expected.

The reason for this is that the system determines whether a URL belongs to the application by checking if it starts with the app's root URL:

 function is_app_url(string $url): bool
 {
       return str($url)->startsWith(request()->root());
 }

Not a bug, IMO. This seems to be the expected functionality @zepfietje, regards!
