Blazor Web App Template NavMenu Component is Missing Render Attribute - Click Events Do Not Get Fired

[vsfeedback]

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

---

I was using the 'Blazor Server App' template before, but now discovered the 'Blazor Web App' template.
When testing my new app, I noticed that the ToggleNavMenu click event was not getting fired in the NavMenu component.

On a whim, I decided to add the @Attribute [RenderModeServer] to the NavMenu component. When I did then the click events started to fire.

Is that the render mode I should be using for the NavMenu - if not, what do you recommend?

If you're only trying to get the toggler to work, it should be fixed for RC1 per #49801 (review).

I want to add click events to some of NavLinks for nesting/dropdowns. I've tried using @OnClick and the Bootstrap 'toggle' classes and none work except if I add the RenderModeServer option.

@marqdouj-spartan ... That's normal behavior and by-design. AFAIK, you are doing the right thing 👍.

My remark was that Steve refactored the toggler to not require interactivity; so if that's all the developer needs to have working, the problem in the current Pre7 project template should clear up when RC1 comes out. See the cross-link that I provided for his remarks on that aspect ☝️.

That's perfect, thanks! 👍

This should be fixed already.

Still doesn't work for me. According to VS Installer I have the latest version:

Note: I have 'use interactive server components' checked - if that makes a difference.

@marqdouj-spartan ... RC1 doesn't come out for a few more weeks. If you want the toggler to work on its own using Steve's new approach in the framework, you'll need to wait until RC1 lands next month. If you want it to work today under Pre7, then follow the remarks in the OP ☝️.
