Left Navigation Items Dissapear with virtualTree enabled

[fernyettheplant]

I am working on integrating Luigi with a microfrontend in ReactJS

After reading https://docs.luigi-project.io/docs/microfrontend-routing?section=react-routing this is a good solution for the navigation, however, at the moment we enable VirtualTree in the node we need it, the items in the Left Nav Bar disappear. I understand that Children is omitted from the navigation if virtualTree is enabled

Is there a way to add Items to the Left Nav bar with virtualTree enabled?

Hi @fernyettheplant ,
indeed children of a virtualTree root are not displayed in the left nav, actually that is more or less the essence of the feature ;) It is meant for scenarios where you have multiple internal routes in your micro frontend, but don't want to configure a luigi node for each of them.
If you want to have nodes for for each route, you can just define them the usual way in luigi config. As a replacement for the fromVirtualTreeRoot navigation anchor, you can use e.g. https://docs.luigi-project.io/docs/navigation-parameters-reference?section=navigationcontext.
