Yes, it is possible to use Inertia with Ionic/Capacitor js. Inertia is a backend agnostic library, which means it can work with any frontend framework or library.
To use Inertia with Ionic/Capacitor js, you can follow these steps:
- Install the Inertia.js package in your Laravel project using composer:
composer require inertiajs/inertia-laravel
- Install the Inertia.js package in your Ionic/Capacitor js project using npm:
npm install @inertiajs/inertia @inertiajs/inertia-vue3
- Create a Vue component in your Ionic/Capacitor js project that will be used to render the Inertia pages. This component should import the
@inertiajs/inertia-vue3package and use it to render the Inertia pages. Here's an example:
<template>
<component :is="component" :key="page.key" v-bind="page.props" />
</template>
<script>
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'
import { usePage } from '@inertiajs/inertia-vue3'
export default defineComponent({
setup() {
const { component, props, key } = usePage()
return {
component,
page: {
key,
props,
},
}
},
})
</script>
- In your Laravel controller, instead of returning a view or JSON response, you can return an Inertia response. Here's an example:
use Inertia\Inertia;
class UserController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$users = User::all();
return Inertia::render('Users/Index', [
'users' => $users,
]);
}
}
- Finally, in your Ionic/Capacitor js project, you can make requests to your Laravel backend using the
@inertiajs/inertiapackage. Here's an example:
import { Inertia } from '@inertiajs/inertia'
Inertia.get('/users').then(page => {
// Render the Inertia page using the component created in step 3
})
With these steps, you should be able to use Inertia with Ionic/Capacitor js.
