Question 1

How to set up server-side rendering with Inertia.js AdonisJS?

Accepted Answer

After enabling SSR in the configuration, edit webpack.ssr.config.js and create a separate entry point (e.g., resources/js/ssr.js) with framework-specific code for React, Vue, or Svelte, as detailed in the README. Then run node ace ssr:watch for development.

Question 2

Inertia.js AdonisJS vs Inertia.js Laravel: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Choose based on your backend framework: both offer similar Inertia.js features, but this adapter is tailored for AdonisJS's conventions and ecosystem. If you're already using AdonisJS, it's the natural fit; otherwise, Laravel's official adapter might be more supported.

Question 3

How to handle authentication in an Inertia.js AdonisJS app?

Accepted Answer

Use @adonisjs/auth for authentication and set up custom exception handling in the ExceptionHandler to redirect on auth failures, as shown in the README. This involves intercepting errors like E_INVALID_AUTH_PASSWORD and flashing messages to sessions.

Question 4

Can I use TypeScript with Inertia.js AdonisJS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the package supports TypeScript, and configuration files like inertia.ts and SSR entry points include TypeScript examples. The setup process allows for .ts or .tsx files in your frontend code.

Question 5

What is lazy loading and how do I implement it in Inertia.js AdonisJS?

Accepted Answer

Lazy loading defers data fetching until needed. In controllers, use Inertia.lazy() to wrap props, and on the client, make visits with the 'only' option to fetch them, as demonstrated in the README's lazy response section.

Question 6

Is asset versioning automatic in Inertia.js AdonisJS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, asset versioning is configurable via Inertia.version() with a string or function, and it can automatically use the manifest file from webpack encore for cache busting, as described in the asset versioning part of the README.
