Add functionality to programmatically update the route of a window

[Tray2]

When using the application menu, you should be able to programmatically change the route for a given window.

Something like this would be really clean.

Menu::new()
  ->link(route('books.create'), 'main')

The first parameter is the route you want to go to, and the second the window that you want to do it in.
Maybe even default to main when a route is given.

That way you don't need to register an event and listen for it.

However if you want to do that, then it would be nice if you could go something like

Window:get('main')
  ->goTo(route('books.create'));

Same as when you do

Window::current()
  ->goTo(route('books.create'));

Yeh, I agree, this would be really nice. I'm currently refactoring the Menu API as it's a little clunky, so I'm going to add this into it

You can now use the Window::url() method to update a window's URL.

Sweet, will give that a go asap.

Managed to make it work using Window::url(), thanks, Simon!

Full example in case someone else needs this as well:
App\Providers\NativeAppServiceProvider@boot

Menu::new()
    ->appMenu()
    ->fileMenu()
    ->editMenu()
    ->viewMenu()
    ->windowMenu()
    ->submenu('Tools', Menu::new()
        ->event(\App\Events\Menu\RestoreBackupMenuItemClicked::class, 'Restore Backup')
    )
    ->register();

\App\Events\Menu\RestoreBackupMenuItemClicked

<?php

namespace App\Events\Menu;

class RestoreBackupMenuItemClicked
{
}

App\Listeners\Menu\RedirectToRestoreBackupPage

<?php

namespace App\Listeners\Menu;

use App\Events\Menu\RestoreBackupMenuItemClicked;
use Window;

class RedirectToRestoreBackupPage
{
    public function handle(RestoreBackupMenuItemClicked $event): void
    {
        Window::get('main')->url(route('plain.restore-backup'));
    }
}

Nice. We'll definitely make this easier in a future release

Here's the PR that will allow us to do this directly from a menu item. It'll look something like this:

Menu::goToUrl(url('/path/to/page'));

// or

Menu::goToRoute('route.name')
