A simple package to handle forms in Laravel with InertiaJS.

This is the backend pair of InertiaForm package.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.1 || ^8.2

Installation

composer require khodakhah/larave-inertia-form

Usage

1. Create your form request class by extending InertiaFormRequest

1. Create a RequestForm class and extend it from InertiaFormRequest
2. Create a static method named formInputs and return an instance of InertiaForm UserFormRequest.php

use Khodakhah\InertiaForm\InertiaFormRequest;

class UserFormRequest extends InertiaFormRequest
{
    public static function formInputs(\Khodakhah\InertiaForm\InertiaForm $form) : \Khodakhah\InertiaForm\InertiaForm{
        $form->text('name', 'required');
        $form->text('email', 'required|email');
        $form->text('password', 'required|min:8');
        return $form;
    }
}

1. Use toInertia() method to convert the form to an array and send it to the frontend. And use validated() method to convert the form errors to an array and send it to the frontend.

class UserController extends Controller
{
    use Khodakhah\InertiaForm\InertiaFormRequest;

    public function create()
    {
        return Inertia::render('User/Create', [
            'form' => UserFormRequest::toInertia()
        ]);
    }

    public function store(UserFormRequest $request)
    {
        User::create($request->validated());
        return redirect()->route('users.index');
    }
}

2. Create your form object simply by using InertiaForm

You can simply create a form by using InertiaForm class, and assign it into a variable, or return it from a method.

class UserController extends Controller
{
    use Khodakhah\InertiaForm\InertiaForm;
    use Illuminate\Http\Request;

    private function userForm(): InertiaForm
    {
        $form = new InertiaForm();
        $form->text('name', 'required');
        $form->text('email', 'required|email');
        $form->text('password', 'required|min:8');
        return $form;
    }

    public function create()
    {
        return Inertia::render('User/Create', [
            'form' => $this->userForm()->toInertia()
        ]);
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        User::create(
            $request->validate(
                $this->userForm()->toValidation()
            )
        );
        return redirect()->route('users.index');
    }
}
