Angular Inertia.js Driver

Provides Angular support for Inertia.js; uses the original @inertiajs/core package.

Disclaimer: This project is a work in progress. This is a 3rd party driver.

Getting Started

git clone git@github.com:hettiger/angular-inertiajs-driver.git
cd angular-inertiajs-driver
composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
npm -C resources/angular install
npm run ng:dev
php artisan serve

Using php artisan serve is not recommended. Consider using Laravel Herd.

Directory Structure

This project has been initialized using the Laravel installer and hettiger/laravel-angular-preset.

¹ The Angular index.html file has been modified to include the @inertiaHead and @inertia directives. Changes made by hettiger/laravel-angular-preset keep the angular.blade.php view in sync. (It's a slightly modified version of index.html that uses e.g. the Laravel asset() helper…)

Adding Pages

Create dedicated page components using ng g c pages/name as you normally would.

You need to cd into the resources/angular directory before trying to run ng commands.

Add the InertiaPage decorator:

@InertiaPage('home')
@Component({
    selector: 'app-home',
    templateUrl: './home.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./home.component.css']
})
export class HomeComponent {
    // …
}

The string value that you pass to the InertiaPage decorator corresponds to the Inertia::render('home', [/* … */]); call in your Inertia.js Page Controllers.

Register your page components:

// resources/angular/src/app/pages/index.ts

export const PAGES: InertiaPageComponent[] = [
    HomeComponent,
    // …
];

Add a Laravel route and an Inertia.js Page Controller to routes/web.php:

Route::get('/', \App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class);

Roadmap

• Support all Inertia.js features
• Release the driver as a standalone NPM package that can be installed into an existing Angular application

There's absolutely no requirement to use hettiger/laravel-angular-preset or to build a monorepo in general.
