SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about inertia-rails

FAQPage Schema
How do I render React components from Rails controllers without building a full SPA?▼

Rails controllers can render React components by returning an inertia response with a component name and props as JSON, enabling smooth client-side rendering without full page reloads or a heavy SPA setup.

What is the best way to structure React pages in a Rails Inertia app?▼

Organize React pages under app/frontend/pages/ControllerName/ActionName to map Rails controller actions directly to React components, ensuring clear routing and coherent user flow across full-stack projects.

How do I manage form submissions and redirects with Inertia.js in Rails?▼

Manage form submissions and redirects through inertia responses returned by Rails controllers, keeping the user flow coherent while React renders the client-side views without traditional server-side rendering.

Does Inertia.js require a separate client-side router for Rails routing?▼

Inertia.js lets Rails handle server-side routing and data fetching natively, eliminating the need for a separate client-side router while still rendering React views smoothly across full-stack projects.

Can I pass deferred props from Rails to React using Inertia responses?▼

Rails controllers can pass props, including deferred props, within inertia responses as JSON, enabling React components to fetch and render data efficiently on the client side without full page reloads.
