laravel-inertia-react is an agent skill that supplies precise Laravel, Inertia.js, and React patterns for developers building modern monolithic web applications with shared server-driven navigation.

About

laravel-inertia-react is a comprehensive agent skill for building modern monolithic applications with a Laravel backend, Inertia.js adapter, and React frontend. It organizes guidance into 24 rules across six categories covering Inertia page components, useForm hook forms, Link-based navigation, HandleInertiaRequests shared data, and Laravel-Inertia integration conventions. Developers reach for laravel-inertia-react when AI agents need consistent, production-aligned patterns instead of mixing SPA routing approaches that fight Inertia's server-driven model.

  • 24 rules across 6 key categories including Page Components and Forms & Validation
  • CRITICAL priority guidance for TypeScript interfaces, useForm hook, and persistent layouts
  • Patterns for Inertia Link navigation, shared data via HandleInertiaRequests, and file uploads
  • Head management for SEO, partial reloads for performance, and scroll preservation
  • Hard-gated rules that prevent common Inertia + React anti-patterns before code generation

How do you build Laravel apps with Inertia.js and React?

Get precise, battle-tested patterns for building Laravel backends with Inertia.js and React frontends using AI coding agents.

Who is it for?

PHP developers building or extending Laravel monoliths who pair Inertia.js with React and want agent-generated code to follow established project patterns.

Skip if: Greenfield SPAs that use client-side React Router with a separate JSON API instead of Inertia's server-driven page model.

When should I use this skill?

The user builds or modifies Laravel Inertia React pages, forms, shared props, or navigation and needs consistent monolith patterns.

What you get

Inertia page components, validated form flows, shared middleware data, and navigation patterns aligned with Laravel backend conventions.

  • Inertia page components
  • Form flows with useForm
  • Shared middleware data configuration

By the numbers

  • Covers 24 rules across 6 key categories
  • Targets the Laravel + Inertia.js + React monolith stack

Essential Patterns

Page Component with TypeScript

// resources/js/Pages/Posts/Index.tsx
import { Head, Link } from '@inertiajs/react'

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
  }
}

export default function Index({ posts, filters }: Props) {
  return (
    <>
      <Head title="Posts" />

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

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

Form with useForm

// resources/js/Pages/Posts/Create.tsx
import { Head, useForm, Link } from '@inertiajs/react'
import { FormEvent } from 'react'

interface Category {
  id: number
  name: string
}

interface Props {
  categories: Category[]
}

export default function Create({ categories }: Props) {
  const { data, setData, post, processing, errors, reset } = useForm({
    title: '',
    body: '',
    category_id: '',
  })

  const handleSubmit = (e: FormEvent) => {
    e.preventDefault()
    post(route('posts.store'), {
      onSuccess: () => reset(),
    })
  }

  return (
    <>
      <Head title="Create Post" />

      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit} className="max-w-2xl mx-auto py-8">
        <div className="mb-4">
          <label htmlFor="title" className="block font-medium mb-1">
            Title

            type="text"
            value={data.title}
            onChange={(e) => setData('title', e.target.value)}
            className="w-full border rounded px-3 py-2"
          />
          {errors.title && (
            <p className="text-red-500 text-sm mt-1">{errors.title}</p>
          )}
        </div>

        <div className="mb-4">
          <label htmlFor="category" className="block font-medium mb-1">
            Category
          </label>
          <select

                {category.name}
              </option>

            disabled={processing}
            className="px-4 py-2 bg-blue-600 text-white rounded disabled:opacity-50"

Persistent Layout

// resources/js/Layouts/AppLayout.tsx
import { Link, usePage } from '@inertiajs/react'
import { ReactNode } from 'react'

interface Props {
  children: ReactNode
}

export default function AppLayout({ children }: Props) {
  const { auth } = usePage().props as { auth: { user: { name: string } } }

  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen bg-gray-100">
      <nav className="bg-white shadow">
        <div className="container mx-auto px-4 py-3 flex justify-between">
          <Link href="/" className="font-bold">

  )
}

// resources/js/Pages/Dashboard.tsx

export default function Dashboard() {
  return <h1>Dashboard</h1>
}

// Assign persistent layout
Dashboard.layout = (page: ReactNode) => <AppLayout>{page}</AppLayout>

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.tsx
import { usePage } from '@inertiajs/react'
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'

export default function FlashMessages() {
  const { flash } = usePage().props as {
    flash: { success?: string; error?: string }
  }
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false)

  useEffect(() => {
    if (flash.success || flash.error) {
      setVisible(true)
      const timer = setTimeout(() => setVisible(false), 3000)
      return () => clearTimeout(timer)
    }
  }, [flash])

  if (!visible) return null

  return (
    <div className="fixed top-4 right-4 z-50">
      {flash.success && (
        <div className="bg-green-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded shadow">
          {flash.success}
        </div>
      )}
      {flash.error && (
        <div className="bg-red-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded shadow">
          {flash.error}
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}
