Vue Navbar Changes Not Reflecting

1. **Vite Dev Server**: Make sure Vite is running in development mode (`npm run dev` or `yarn dev`) within your Docker container. This will enable hot module replacement (HMR) so changes show up immediately.

2. **Rebuild Assets**: If you're running a production build (`yarn run build`), try rebuilding your assets. Run `yarn run build` in your PHP or Node.js container, whichever is set up for asset compilation.

3. **Volume Mounting**: Verify that your Docker volume mounts are configured correctly, especially for your Vue component files. If the changes aren’t picked up, the Docker setup might not be mounting your source files properly.

4. **Clear Cache**: Clear Laravel cache with:

php artisan config:clear
   php artisan cache:clear
   php artisan view:clear

5. **Check Browser Cache**: Sometimes, your browser cache may cause this issue. Try a hard refresh (`Ctrl+Shift+R` or clear your browser cache).

Let me know if these steps help!

1. **Component Registration**: Ensure the navbar component is correctly imported and registered where it's being used. Sometimes, if it's not properly imported or registered, changes won’t reflect as expected.

2. **Caching Issue in Browser**: Since the navbar is often a persistent component, it might be getting cached differently. Try doing a hard refresh in your browser (use `Ctrl+Shift+R` or clear the browser cache).

3. **Check Vite Hot Reload (HMR) Config**: If Vite’s hot reload feature isn’t detecting changes to the navbar component:
– Verify that Vite HMR is properly enabled in your Docker setup. You may need to add the `–host` option if accessing the site from an external device:

yarn dev --host

4. **Dynamic Imports and Lazily Loaded Components**: If you’re using dynamic imports for the navbar component, it might be loaded differently by Vue. Try temporarily removing lazy loading or dynamic import for testing.

5. **Inspect Network Requests**: Check the Network tab in your browser’s developer tools to ensure the updated component files are being served.

If none of these steps work, please share any unique setup details in your navbar component or Docker that might help troubleshoot further!

<script>
import { computed } from 'vue';
import { Link } from '@inertiajs/vue3';

const props = defineProps({
    href: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
    },
    active: {
        type: Boolean,
    },
});

const classes = computed(() =>
    props.active
        ? 'inline-flex items-center px-1 pt-1 border-b-2 border-indigo-400 text-sm font-medium leading-5 text-gray-900 focus:outline-none focus:border-indigo-700 transition duration-150 ease-in-out'
        : 'inline-flex items-center px-1 pt-1 border-b-2 border-transparent text-sm font-medium leading-5 text-gray-500 hover:text-gray-700 hover:border-gray-300 focus:outline-none focus:text-gray-700 focus:border-gray-300 transition duration-150 ease-in-out',
);
</script>

How call this

1. **Register the Component**: Make sure this component is correctly registered or available globally, depending on your setup.

– If it's a **local component**, import it in the parent component and add it to the `components` section.
– If it’s **globally registered**, it should be available in any component without importing.

2. **Pass Props**: Call this component in the template of the parent component, passing the `href` and `active` props as needed.

### Example Usage in Parent Component
Assuming this component is saved as `NavbarLink.vue`, here’s how you’d use it in a parent component (e.g., a main `Navbar.vue`):

<template>
  <nav>
    <!-- Example links with href and active props -->
    <NavbarLink href="/home" :active="true">Home</NavbarLink>
    <NavbarLink href="/about" :active="false">About</NavbarLink>
    <NavbarLink href="/contact" :active="false">Contact</NavbarLink>
  </nav>
</template>

<script setup>
import NavbarLink from './NavbarLink.vue';
</script>

### Explanation of `:active` Binding
– The `:active` prop should be set to `true` for the current active link (often based on the current route).
– You can dynamically control `active` based on the route using Vue Router or Inertia’s route helpers.

This should make the `NavbarLink` component render as part of your navbar, styled accordingly based on whether it's active or not.

Open main menu

Login

Register

<script>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';
const isMenuOpen=ref(false);
function toggleMenu() {
      isMenuOpen.value = !isMenuOpen.value;
    }
</script>

THIS IS the componet thats changes not refelecting via hmr docker

1. **Verify the Import and Component Usage**: Ensure this navbar component is correctly imported and used in the parent component, especially if there is a caching layer in the build process that may have missed this component update.

2. **HMR and Vite Config**: Sometimes, HMR issues arise due to configuration or cache mismatches. Try restarting Vite to see if it picks up the changes:

yarn dev

If you’re accessing it via Docker, ensure the `–host` flag is set:

yarn dev --host

3. **Inspect Cache in Docker Environment**: Since Docker can sometimes cache files in unexpected ways, try running:

docker-compose down --volumes
   docker-compose up --build

This will rebuild your containers and clear Docker's cache.

4. **Check Vite and Browser Console Logs**: Look for any warnings or errors in both Vite and the browser’s console that might hint at issues with HMR or Vite picking up changes to this component.

5. **Test a Small Change**: Try a small, noticeable change in the navbar component, like modifying the text color or adding a simple console log. This can help confirm whether the change is completely ignored or partially recognized.

6. **Inspect Dependency Updates**: If you're using `@inertiajs/vue3` or other packages that manage state or navigation, ensure they are updated, as these packages could have HMR nuances in Docker.
