How can I prevent my Livewire component from reloading every time the page refreshes? I placed the component in the resources\views\layouts\app.blade.php file. This component is responsible for loading categories, and I want it to appear on every page, which is why I placed it there.

I also have a Product Livewire component and a Product Detail Livewire component. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can prevent the component from reloading? Thanks in advance for your help.

In the config\livewire.php file, I set the layout as follows:
'layout' => 'layouts.app',

I include it in the app.blade.php file like this:
@livewire('category-navigation')

resources\views\layouts\app.blade.php

    <main>
        <div class="container mx-auto mt-8 grid grid-cols-12 gap-6">

            <div class="col-span-3">
                @livewire('category-navigation')
            </div>

            <div class="col-span-9">
                {{ $slot }}
            </div>
        </div>
    </main>

Here is how I define the Category component (app\Livewire\CategoryNavigation.php):

<?php

namespace App\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\Category;

class CategoryNavigation extends Component
{
    public $categories;
    public $currentCategory;

    protected $listeners = ['category-selected' => 'setCategory'];

    public function mount($selectedCategory = null)
    {
        $this->categories = Category::whereNull('parent_id')->where('status', 1)->get();
        $this->currentCategory = $selectedCategory;
    }

    public function setCategory($slug)
    {
        $this->currentCategory = $slug;
    }

    public function navigateToCategory($fullPath)
    {
        return redirect($fullPath);
    }

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.category-navigation', [
            'categories' => $this->categories,
            'currentCategory' => $this->currentCategory
        ]);
    }
}

How can I prevent my Livewire component from reloading every time the page refreshes?

This question doesn't make any sense since the whole page get reloaded if you refresh (including your livewire component). But if you mean that you want to speed up the loading time of the component and avoid triggering a database request at every page reload, you can use the Cache facade from Laravel.

Here's an example :

class CategoryNavigation extends Component
{
    public $categories;
    public $currentCategory;

    protected $listeners = ['category-selected' => 'setCategory'];

    public function mount($selectedCategory = null)
    {
        $this->loadCategories();
        $this->currentCategory = $selectedCategory;
    }

    public function loadCategories(): void
    {
        $this->categories = Cache::remember('categories', function() {
            return Category::whereNull('parent_id')->where('status', 1)->get();
        })
    }

I hope this helps
