Persistent properties

Overview

When using partial reloads, any non-specified property will not be sent back to the front-end.

This is the desired behavior, except when it comes to data that's needed no matter the context. For instance, you don't want to not update the current user's data or skip flash messages when doing a partial reload.

To solve this problem, persistent properties will always be sent, even in partial reloads.

Persisting properties

To mark a property as persisted, the hybridly()->persist() method may be used. In the following example, any top-level property named current_date will be persisted.

hybridly()->persist('current_date');

However, since persistent properties are usually defined in the HandleHybridRequests middleware, a convenient $persistent property is available.

class HandleHybridRequests extends Middleware
{
    protected array $persistent = [
      'security.user'
    ];
    
    public function share()
    {
        return SharedData::from([
            'security' => [
                'user' => UserData::optional(auth()->user()),
            ],
        ]);
    }
}

Flashes and validation errors

By default, flash notifications and validation errors are marked as persistent, so users can't miss important information during partial reloads.

This cannot be undone unless turning off flash notification and validation error sharing. However, if you need to turn off persistent flash and error data, it most certainly means you have custom sharing logic for them.
