Hello,

I have created a menu (angular route) with child menus (route with parentName).
this.routes.add([
{
path: '/projects',
name: '::Menu:Management',
iconClass: 'fas fa-chart-line',
order: 5,
layout: eLayoutType.application,
requiredPolicy: 'ABC.Projects',
},
{
path: '/projects',
iconClass: 'fas fa-project-diagram',
name: '::Menu:Projects',
parentName: '::Menu:Management',
layout: eLayoutType.application,
requiredPolicy: 'ABC.Projects',
},]);

This displays a Management menu with a Projects child option. If I hover over the Management menu and select Projects, the user is correctly sent to the /projects path. If I click on the Management menu, however, the user is sent to the root / instead of to the specified path (/projects).

Is there a way to either?

  1. Send the user to the /projects path upon clicking the (parent) Management menu.

  2. Disable click on the Management menu but still allow the user to hover and select child menu options.

    Hello,
    I have generate BookModule using this command
    yarn ng generate module book --module app --routing --route books

    I have added below code to route.provider.ts

            path: '/book-store',
            name: '::Menu:BookStore',
            iconClass: 'fas fa-book',
            order: 101,
            layout: eLayoutType.application,
          },
          {
            path: '/books',
            name: '::Menu:Books',
            parentName: '::Menu:BookStore',
            layout: eLayoutType.application
          }
    

    It's showing this result

    After that I have added one more child here Author using this command generate author component
    yarn ng generate module author --module app --routing --route authors

    I have added below code in route.provider.ts

    {
       path: '/authors',
       name: '::Menu:Authors',
       parentName: '::Menu:BookStore',
       layout: eLayoutType.application,
      }
    
    

    It's showing result

    After that I have add permission for Author tab

    {
       path: '/authors',
       name: '::Menu:Authors',
       parentName: '::Menu:BookStore',
       layout: eLayoutType.application,
       requiredPolicy: 'BookStore.Authors',
      }
    

    After disabling the permissions for Auther, the final result will look like this - the author menu get hide

    Hi,

    I have a similar issue.
    After I navigate in that manner,
    image.png
    the top bar (including the breadcrumb items) resets.
    image.png
    Expected top bar should be masterdata | feature | feature-management

    How should i navigate properly ?

    Thanks.

    I found a solution to prevent click on the parent menu using css. In my application, the menu is a horizontal nav menu using hashed routes (#/).

    I added the following css to styles.scss to disable click:

    a[href="#/"].lpx-menu-item-link {
    pointer-events: none;
    }
