Laravel front-end preset
A Laravel frontend scaffolding preset that automatically sets up Inertia.js for building single-page apps.
What is Laravel front-end preset?
laravel-frontend-presets/inertiajs is a Laravel package that provides a frontend scaffolding preset for Inertia.js. It automates the setup process required to integrate Inertia.js into a Laravel application, allowing developers to quickly start building single-page apps with server-driven routing and controllers. The preset eliminates manual configuration steps, streamlining the initial project setup.
Laravel developers who want to build modern single-page applications using Inertia.js without dealing with manual configuration. It's ideal for full-stack developers working on Laravel-based projects that require a seamless frontend-backend integration.
Developers choose this preset because it significantly reduces setup time and complexity when using Inertia.js with Laravel. Its automated scaffolding and Laravel-native integration provide a quick, opinionated starting point that follows best practices, allowing teams to focus on building features rather than configuration.

Use Cases
Best For
- Quickly setting up Inertia.js in a new Laravel project
- Reducing manual configuration steps for Inertia.js integration
- Laravel developers transitioning to single-page app architectures
- Teams adopting Inertia.js who want a standardized setup process
- Prototyping Laravel applications with Inertia.js frontends
- Learning Inertia.js with a pre-configured Laravel environment
Not Ideal For
- Projects using backend frameworks other than Laravel, as the preset is tightly coupled with Laravel's ecosystem.
- Teams with existing, highly customized Inertia.js setups that would be disrupted by the preset's opinionated configuration.
- Applications requiring immediate production stability, given Inertia.js's early development stage and potential for breaking changes.
Pros & Cons
Pros

Cons
Inertia.js is in early development, so the preset is in flux and may introduce breaking changes, making it risky for stable projects.

Imposes a specific setup that may not accommodate teams wanting full control over frontend tooling or custom build processes.
