What is the effect of setting Navigation Exception Selectors in an SPA configuration?

Setting Navigation Exception Selectors in a Single Page Application (SPA) configuration primarily serves the purpose of allowing the SPA to ignore specific CSS selectors during its navigation process. This means that when the SPA engages in navigation, certain elements designated by these selectors will not trigger the SPA’s typical navigation behavior. This can be particularly useful for ensuring that certain links or buttons outside the SPA's control are handled in a traditional manner by the browser, rather than being intercepted by the SPA's routing logic.

For example, if there are links that should lead to an entirely new page instead of loading new content within the SPA, marking those with Navigation Exception Selectors ensures the default behavior takes precedence. This helps maintain expected user interactions for specific elements while still allowing the SPA to function smoothly for the rest of the application.

The function of this feature is distinct and crucial for managing user experience effectively in SPAs, as it contributes to a seamless interaction model where certain interactions can bypass the SPA's framework when necessary.
