FAQPage Schema

How do I build a Rails app with a React/Vue/Svelte frontend without writing an API?▼

Inertia.js bridges Rails backends and modern SPAs by serving page components directly from your Rails server. Install the inertia_rails gem, run the installer for your frontend framework, and render Inertia responses instead of views. Rails handles data as server-provided props; your frontend framework handles rendering and client-side routing without API complexity.

Can I use React, Vue, or Svelte with Rails using Inertia.js?▼

Yes. Inertia.js supports React, Vue, and Svelte with Rails. The inertia_rails gem and Vite enable framework-agnostic integration. Run the inertia:install generator, choose your framework, and build components that receive props from your Rails controllers.

How do I handle forms and file uploads with Inertia.js and Rails?▼

Inertia.js provides a useForm hook for client-side form handling that reduces boilerplate. File uploads are supported with progress tracking. Define forms in your React/Vue/Svelte components, bind to form state, and submit to Rails controller actions. Server responses automatically update component props.

What's the difference between building with Inertia.js versus a traditional Rails + API approach?▼

Inertia.js eliminates the API layer by coupling server responses directly to page components. Rails renders Inertia responses containing props; your frontend framework handles UI. This reduces development overhead compared to separate API and SPA stacks while maintaining SPA interactivity and client-side routing.

Do I need to set up Vite when using Inertia.js with Rails?▼

Yes. Vite is the build tool recommended for Inertia.js with Rails. The inertia:install generator configures it automatically. Vite handles bundling your React, Vue, or Svelte components and enables hot module replacement during development.

How do shared props and flash messages work in Inertia.js?▼

Shared props are data available to all page components without explicit passing—set them in middleware or helper methods on the Rails side. Flash messages work similarly: set them in Rails controllers, and they're automatically injected into component props on the next request, enabling notifications without additional setup.
