What does Inertia bring to develop with Laravel ?

Hello,

I read some articles about Inertia which acts like some glue to bind the back and the front.

Laravel is already a full stack framework. So my question is : what does Inertia really bring ? I have tried to use VueJS 3 with Laravel without Inertia and it works fine, so why would I need to use Inertia ?

Thanks for your advice.

I want to add that ok it avoids using an API. So that means that Laravel and Inertia are really in the same app, there isn't two separate apps (back with Laravel and front with VueJS). But this is already possible using only Laravel and VueJS.

It brings SPA-like capabilities while retaining backend routing. As simple as that.

@bugsysha If I understand what you mean, the main advantage is to use backend routing in a SPA app ?

@vincent15000 yes, you are correct. It alleviates some of the pain that SPA + API development brings.
