Note: These tips come from hands-on experience building modern Laravel applications with Inertia.js and React. Let's make your full-stack development journey exciting!
1.Quick Setup
composer require inertiajs/inertia-laravel
php artisan inertia:middleware
npm install @inertiajs/react
2.Essential Configuration
// routes/web.php
Route::inertia('/', 'Home');
// app/Http/Middleware/HandleInertiaRequests.php
public function share(Request $request): array
{
return [
'auth' => [
'user' => $request->user(),
],
'flash' => [
'message' => session('message')
],
];
}
3.Basic Components
// resources/js/Pages/Home.jsx
import { Head } from '@inertiajs/react'
import Layout from '@/Layouts/AppLayout'
export default function Home({ posts }) {
return (
<>
<Head title="Home" />
<Layout>
{posts.map(post => (
<div key={post.id}>{post.title}</div>
))}
</Layout>
</>
)
}
4.Form Handling
import { useForm } from '@inertiajs/react'
export default function CreatePost() {
const { data, setData, post } = useForm({
title: '',
content: ''
})
const submit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault()
post('/posts')
}
return (
<form onSubmit={submit}>
<input
value={data.title}
onChange={e => setData('title', e.target.value)}
/>
</form>
)
}
5.Data Management
// Controller
public function index()
{
return Inertia::render('Posts/Index', [
'posts' => Post::with('author')->paginate(10)
]);
}
6.Common Patterns
- Shared layouts with React components
- Authentication with Laravel Sanctum
- Form validation using React hooks
- File uploads with progress
- Pagination with React components
- Real-time search functionality
7.Pro Tips
- Use TypeScript for better type safety
- Implement loading states with React Suspense
- Create reusable React components
- Keep controllers thin
- Use resource controllers
8.Debugging Tools
- React DevTools
- Laravel Debugbar
- Browser Network Tab
9.Best Practices
// Component Organization
components/
└── Common/
├── Button.jsx
└── Input.jsx
layouts/
└── App.jsx
pages/
└── Posts/
├── Index.jsx
└── Create.jsx
10.Performance Optimization
Code splitting with React.lazy()
Asset bundling with Vite
Lazy loading React components
Proper caching strategies
