FAQPage Schema
How do I handle form validation and submission in React with Inertia.js?

To build a SPA with Inertia.js and React, you define React page components in your pages directory and use the Link component for client-side routing, letting Inertia handle the data transfer from your Laravel backend without building a separate API.

Does Inertia.js v2 support deferred props and data prefetching for React?

Yes, Inertia.js v2 supports deferred props, data prefetching, and polling for React applications to optimize the user experience by loading data only when needed and caching page visits before the user clicks a link.

What is the best way to navigate between pages in an Inertia React application?

Use Inertia.js for your React SPA when you want to build a single-page application powered by a Laravel backend without writing a separate REST or GraphQL API, as it passes data directly to your React components via server-side routing.

How do I optimize React component rendering when scrolling with Inertia.js?

Optimize React component rendering during scrolling by using the Inertia.js v2 WhenVisible feature, which defers loading and rendering specific page components or data until they enter the user's viewport.
