How MenuBar works when it closed?

[lon9man]

Hello,

What i did

1. app has 1 route with Livewire-component Foo
2. Foo-component on backend makes API request and saves the response into local file
3. Foo-component has attribute wire:poll.10s="refresh" to repeatedly call API on backend

NOTE:
i don't want to open any other window, because thought that app will work using MenuBar only.

What i get

a) MenuBar with component is showed --> refresh runs as expected
b) MenuBar with component is closed --> refresh DOESN'T run

added Window into app with the same component Foo and minimized it after start.
results:
c) Window is showed --> refresh runs as expected
d) Window is minimized --> refresh runs as expected

What i expected

that my Livewire-component will work ONLY using MenuBar without any other minimized windows

It sounds like you're trying to have a persistent repeating task running without requiring any windows to be open.

For that, you shouldn't rely on the web view Javascript (which is what wire:poll uses), as it's only going to be available to execute if there's a window open on the page where wire:poll is running.

You should use the Laravel Scheduler. Here's an example in a NativePHP app based on Laravel 10.

Hope that helps 😊
