What agent skills do you use for Laravel inertia react typescript?

Level 58

Certainly! Here’s a solution tailored for working with Laravel + Inertia.js + React + TypeScript, focusing on agent skills (interpreted as best practices, tools, and patterns) that will help you build cleaner applications and reduce post-development cleanup:

1. Use TypeScript Everywhere (TSX, Props, API Responses)

Define TypeScript interfaces for all your page props and API responses. Helps catch errors early and documents data shapes.

// UserPage.tsx
interface UserProps {
  user: {
    id: number;
    name: string;
    email: string;
  }
}

const UserPage: React.FC<UserProps> = ({ user }) => (
  <div>{user.name}</div>
);

export default UserPage;

2. Typed Inertia Requests

Use existing type definitions for Inertia (like @inertiajs/inertia types) and create utility functions to type your responses.

import { Inertia } from '@inertiajs/inertia';

Inertia.post('/users', values, {
  onSuccess: () => { /* ... */ },
  onError: (errors: Record<string, string[]>) => { /* ... */ }
});

3. Use Zod/Yup for Validation & Type Inference

Use runtime validators like Zod or Yup to validate both front-end and back-end structures, and infer types from them.

import { z } from "zod";

const UserSchema = z.object({
  id: z.number(),
  name: z.string(),
  email: z.string().email(),
});
type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>;

4. React Query or SWR Integration

Prefer React Query for complex data fetching/caching logic. It pairs nicely with Inertia and makes data management more robust and testable.

import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query';

const { data, error, isLoading } = useQuery(['users'], fetchUsers);

5. Consistent Naming & Typed Routes

Use ziggy-js for route generation and keep both TypeScript and PHP routes in sync.

import route from 'ziggy-js';

route('users.show', user.id);

6. ESLint & Prettier Setup

Set up ESLint and Prettier configs for TypeScript and React — helps ensure code is clean and consistent.

// .eslintrc.json
{
  "extends": [
    "react-app",
    "react-app/jest",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
    "prettier"
  ]
}

7. IDE Type Support

Use a good IDE (VSCode, PHPStorm) with TypeScript and Inertia plugins for auto-completion and instant error spotting.

8. Centralized Form Handling

Build reusable form components and hooks using React + TypeScript. Share validation and error handling logic.

Summary Table of Recommended "Skills":

Skill/Pattern	Benefit
TypeScript everywhere	Early error detection, self-documenting
Zod/Yup validation	Runtime type-safety, type inference
React Query/SWR	Clean data fetching, caching, state
Ziggy for routes	Consistent route generation, typed URLs
ESLint/Prettier	Automatic code formatting and linting
Centralized form logic	DRY, easy maintenance

Adopting these "agent skills" will help keep your Laravel Inertia React TypeScript apps clean, consistent, and maintainable.
