Laravel + Inertia.js + Vue 3

Comprehensive patterns for building modern monolithic applications with Laravel, Inertia.js, and Vue 3. Contains 30+ rules for seamless full-stack development.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Creating Inertia page components with Vue 3
  • Handling forms with useForm composable
  • Managing shared data and authentication
  • Implementing persistent layouts
  • Navigating between pages

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Page Components CRITICAL page-
2 Forms & Validation CRITICAL form-
3 Navigation & Links HIGH nav-
4 Shared Data HIGH shared-
5 Layouts MEDIUM layout-
6 File Uploads MEDIUM upload-
7 Advanced Patterns LOW advanced-

Quick Reference

1. Page Components (CRITICAL)

  • page-props-typing - Type page props from Laravel
  • page-component-structure - Standard page component pattern
  • page-head-management - Title and meta tags with Head

Essential Patterns

Page Component with TypeScript

<!-- resources/js/Pages/Posts/Index.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { Head, Link } from '@inertiajs/vue3'

interface Post {
  id: number
  title: string
  excerpt: string
  created_at: string
  author: {
    id: number
    name: string
  }
}

interface Props {
  posts: {
    data: Post[]
    links: { url: string | null; label: string; active: boolean }[]
  }
  filters: {
    search?: string
  }
}

const props = defineProps<Props>()
</script>

<template>
  <Head title="Posts" />

  <div class="container mx-auto py-8">
    <h1 class="text-2xl font-bold mb-6">Posts</h1>

    <div class="space-y-4">
      <article
        v-for="post in props.posts.data"
        :key="post.id"
        class="p-4 bg-white rounded-lg shadow"
      >
        <Link :href="route('posts.show', post.id)">
          <h2 class="text-xl font-semibold hover:text-blue-600">
            {{ post.title }}
          </h2>
        </Link>
        <p class="text-gray-600 mt-2">{{ post.excerpt }}</p>
        <p class="text-sm text-gray-400 mt-2">By {{ post.author.name }}</p>
      </article>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

Form with useForm

<!-- resources/js/Pages/Posts/Create.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { Head, Link, useForm } from '@inertiajs/vue3'

interface Category {
  id: number
  name: string
}

interface Props {
  categories: Category[]
}

const props = defineProps<Props>()

const form = useForm({
  title: '',
  body: '',
  category_id: '',
})

function submit() {
  form.post(route('posts.store'), {
    onSuccess: () => form.reset(),
  })
}
</script>

<template>
  <Head title="Create Post" />

  <form @submit.prevent="submit" class="max-w-2xl mx-auto py-8">
    <div class="mb-4">
      <label for="title" class="block font-medium mb-1">Title</label>
      <input
        id="title"
        v-model="form.title"
        type="text"
        class="w-full border rounded px-3 py-2"
      />
      <p v-if="form.errors.title" class="text-red-500 text-sm mt-1">
        {{ form.errors.title }}
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="mb-4">
      <label for="category" class="block font-medium mb-1">Category</label>
      <select
        id="category"
        v-model="form.category_id"
        class="w-full border rounded px-3 py-2"
      >
        <option value="">Select a category</option>
        <option v-for="cat in props.categories" :key="cat.id" :value="cat.id">
          {{ cat.name }}
        </option>
      </select>
      <p v-if="form.errors.category_id" class="text-red-500 text-sm mt-1">
        {{ form.errors.category_id }}
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="mb-4">
      <label for="body" class="block font-medium mb-1">Content</label>
      <textarea
        id="body"
        v-model="form.body"
        rows="10"
        class="w-full border rounded px-3 py-2"
      />
      <p v-if="form.errors.body" class="text-red-500 text-sm mt-1">
        {{ form.errors.body }}
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="flex gap-4">
      <button
        type="submit"
        :disabled="form.processing"
        class="px-4 py-2 bg-blue-600 text-white rounded disabled:opacity-50"
      >
        {{ form.processing ? 'Creating...' : 'Create Post' }}
      </button>

      <Link :href="route('posts.index')" class="px-4 py-2 border rounded">
        Cancel
      </Link>
    </div>
  </form>
</template>

Persistent Layout

<!-- resources/js/Layouts/AppLayout.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { Link, usePage } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
import { computed } from 'vue'

const page = usePage()
const auth = computed(() => page.props.auth as { user: { name: string } })
</script>

<template>
  <div class="min-h-screen bg-gray-100">
    <nav class="bg-white shadow">
      <div class="container mx-auto px-4 py-3 flex justify-between">
        <Link href="/" class="font-bold">My App</Link>
        <span>Welcome, {{ auth.user.name }}</span>
      </div>
    </nav>

    <main class="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
      <slot />
    </main>
  </div>
</template>

<!-- resources/js/Pages/Dashboard.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import AppLayout from '@/Layouts/AppLayout.vue'

defineOptions({ layout: AppLayout })
</script>

<template>
  <h1>Dashboard</h1>
</template>

Laravel Controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests\StorePostRequest;
use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\Category;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use Inertia\Inertia;
use Inertia\Response;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function index(): Response
    {
        return Inertia::render('Posts/Index', [
            'posts' => Post::with('author:id,name')
                ->latest()
                ->paginate(10),
            'filters' => request()->only('search'),
        ]);
    }

    public function create(): Response
    {
        return Inertia::render('Posts/Create', [
            'categories' => Category::all(['id', 'name']),
        ]);
    }

    public function store(StorePostRequest $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        $post = Post::create([
            ...$request->validated(),
            'user_id' => auth()->id(),
        ]);

        return redirect()
            ->route('posts.show', $post)
            ->with('success', 'Post created successfully.');
    }

    public function show(Post $post): Response
    {
        return Inertia::render('Posts/Show', [
            'post' => $post->load('author', 'category'),
        ]);
    }
}

Shared Data (HandleInertiaRequests)

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Inertia\Middleware;

class HandleInertiaRequests extends Middleware
{
    public function share(Request $request): array
    {
        return array_merge(parent::share($request), [
            'auth' => [
                'user' => $request->user() ? [
                    'id' => $request->user()->id,
                    'name' => $request->user()->name,
                    'email' => $request->user()->email,
                ] : null,
            ],
            'flash' => [
                'success' => $request->session()->get('success'),
                'error' => $request->session()->get('error'),
            ],
        ]);
    }
}

Flash Messages Component

<!-- resources/js/Components/FlashMessages.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { usePage } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
import { computed, ref, watch } from 'vue'

const page = usePage()
const flash = computed(() => page.props.flash as { success?: string; error?: string })
const visible = ref(false)
let timer: ReturnType<typeof setTimeout> | null = null

watch(flash, (newFlash) => {
  if (newFlash.success || newFlash.error) {
    visible.value = true
    if (timer) clearTimeout(timer)
    timer = setTimeout(() => {
      visible.value = false
    }, 3000)
  }
}, { deep: true })
</script>

<template>
  <div v-if="visible" class="fixed top-4 right-4 z-50">
    <div
      v-if="flash.success"
      class="bg-green-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded shadow"
    >
      {{ flash.success }}
    </div>
    <div
      v-if="flash.error"
      class="bg-red-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded shadow"
    >
      {{ flash.error }}
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
