TODO: Fix URL-based Page Navigation (useNavigate URL Format Issue)

Problem Summary

Pages return "page not found" when accessed via URL. The issue is a mismatch between how useNavigate.js generates URLs and how VueRouteMap.php parses them back to component names.

Root Cause

• Frontend (useNavigate.js): Converts CooperativeList → /cooperativelist (no separators)
• Backend (VueRouteMap.php): Expects hyphenated format like /cooperative-list to properly convert back to CooperativeList
• Result: Component name mismatch → page not found

---

Fix Steps

Step 1: Fix Frontend URL Generation

File: resources/js/composables/Core/useNavigate.js

• Modify the URL generation logic to convert camelCase/PascalCase page names to kebab-case
• Change: page.replace(/\./g, '/').toLowerCase()
• To: Convert CooperativeList → cooperative-list (hyphenated kebab-case)
• Ensure all page navigations generate proper kebab-case URLs

Step 2: Verify Backend Route Parsing

File: app/Http/Controllers/Support/VueRouteMap.php

• Verify toCamelCase() method properly converts kebab-case back to PascalCase
• Confirm: cooperative-list → CooperativeList
• Test with multi-word component names

Step 3: Test URL Patterns

• Test direct URL access: /cooperative-list → loads CooperativeList component
• Test direct URL access: /buy-view-product-market → loads BuyViewProductMarket component
• Test URLs with hash parameters: /edit-user--hHASHKEY
• Test URLs with payload parameters: /some-page--e:ENCODED_PAYLOAD

Step 4: Verify Browser Back/Forward Navigation

• Test popstate event handling with new URL format
• Ensure browser history works correctly with kebab-case URLs

Step 5: Check Existing Routes

• Verify all routes in VueRouteMap::$routes array work with new URL format
• Ensure no broken links or navigation issues

---

Expected Outcome

• All pages accessible via direct URL
• Browser refresh maintains current page
• Browser back/forward navigation works correctly
• URLs are clean and SEO-friendly (kebab-case)

Files to Modify

1. resources/js/composables/Core/useNavigate.js - Fix URL generation
2. Potentially resources/js/composables/useUrlEncoder.js - If hash/payload encoding needs adjustment

Testing Checklist

• Navigate to a page, copy URL, open in new tab → page loads correctly
• Refresh page while on a route → page stays on same route
• Browser back button works correctly
• URLs with hashkey parameters work
• URLs with payload parameters work
