When using Inertia.js with Vue, it's important to ensure that the data being displayed is always the latest from the server. If you're experiencing issues where the page doesn't update with the latest data after a redirect, here are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:
Ensure Fresh Data Fetching:
Make sure that when you redirect back to the list page, the server is fetching the latest data from the database. This typically involves ensuring that your controller method is querying the database for the most recent data.
Use Inertia's Redirect:
Instead of using to_route, you should use Inertia's redirect helper to ensure that the page is re-rendered with fresh data. This can be done using the Inertia::render method in your controller.
Check Your Inertia Response:
Ensure that the data you are passing to the Inertia response is indeed the latest. You can log the data being sent to the client to verify this.
Here's an example of how you might structure your controller method to ensure fresh data is sent to the client:
use Inertia\Inertia;
use App\Models\Question;
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
// Update the question
$question = Question::findOrFail($id);
$question->update($request->all());
// Fetch the latest data for the list page
$questions = Question::where('survey_id', $question->survey_id)->get();
// Redirect back to the list page with fresh data
return Inertia::render('Forms/Fields', [
'questions' => $questions,
]);
}
Client-Side Considerations:
Ensure that your Vue component is correctly set up to receive and display the data passed from the server. If you're using props, make sure they are correctly defined and used in your component.
Cache Busting:
If you have any caching mechanisms in place, ensure they are not serving stale data. This includes browser caching or any server-side caching.
By following these steps, you should be able to ensure that your Inertia.js application always displays the most up-to-date data after a redirect.

Yes, I confirmed that. The DB does get updated but for some reason the redirect doesn't load the updated data. When I manually refresh the browser it does show me the updated data.
So in my code I am expecting question_list to change when there is a new question added to the "question_ids" array. But I think vue cannot keep track of single element within the array.
