inertia-rails

What problem does it solve?

Inertia Rails provides a hybrid approach that lets Rails handle server-side routing and data fetching while React renders client-side views via Inertia, eliminating the need for a heavy SPA setup or traditional SSR.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Inertia responses and props: server returns a component name and props as JSON, enabling smooth client-side rendering without full page reloads.
• Redirects and forms: manage form submissions and redirects through inertia: responses, keeping user flow coherent.
• Page-based architecture: organize components under app/frontend/pages/ControllerName/ActionName for clear routing to React pages.

Quick Start

Initialize a Rails project with inertia-rails, add the gem, create a basic page under app/frontend/pages, and render inertia: { component: 'Example', props: { ... } } from a controller action.
