Laravel 11 with Inertia.js and React | A Practical Guide | Udemy

In this course, we will be Learning Inertia.js (A tool to build single-page apps, without creating any APIs)  along with React.js in a practical way by building multiple practical projects along the way.

Inertia serves as the solution, seamlessly connecting Laravel as a backend with a frontend Framework (React/Vue/Svelte), enabling us to build everything in one application (a monolith) while achieving the same outcome. The best part? We don’t have to create an API.

Project Description:

[Uploaded] Learn Inertia

In this section, we’ll look into the basics of Inertia and some of the fundamental features of Inertia.js.

Some of the topics we’ll cover in this section include:

• Learn how to set up Laravel with Inertia and React Stack.
• Learn how to Format the data with API Resources.
• Learn about how to work with forms, and display validation errors
• Learn how to preserve the scroll behavior, and preserve the state of the page
• Learn how to implement Manual Visits and Partial Reloads in Inertia.
• Learn how to Implement Authorization checks (on both frontend and backend)
• Learn how to Customize the default Error pages and render Custom Inertia Pages (403, 404, 419 pages)
• Learn how to display Flash Notifications in Inertia/React
• Learn how to Set up page titles and meta tags.

[Uploaded] Flexible Flash Notifications with Inertia

In this Section, we’ll learn how to build a flexible flash notifications feature in Inertia.

By the end of the section, we’ll have the ability to flash any type of notification, anywhere in our application, without repeating any code.

[Uploaded] Customizing Error Pages in Inertia

Learn how to Customize the default error pages in Inertia.

We’ll learn the following in this Section:

• Learn how to customize the default error pages in Laravel
• Learn how to return an Inertia Response whenever any error is encountered in our app.
• Learn how to render different types of errors by re-using the same React component.
• Learn how to define a config to enable/disable the rendering of custom error pages

[Uploaded] Building a Simple Student’s Management System

In this section, we’ll build a simple CRUD app and dive into the fundamentals of building CRUD applications with Laravel, Inertia, and the React Stack, and we will learn the following topics along the way:

• Learn how to Build dependent dropdowns in Inertia/React
• Learn how to work with Factories and Seeders in Laravel, and seed the necessary data for all of our Models
• Learn how to use a Re-usable React Component to display validation messages.
• Learn how to Implement Server Side Pagination from scratch.

[Uploaded] Implementing Roles/Permissions in Inertia-Based Applications.

We’ll continue from where we left off in the previous section and implement the Roles and Permissions functionality without using any external plugins.

Some of the features that we’ll cover in this section are listed below:

• Implement Roles CRUD.
• Implement Authorization/Gate Checks throughout the project (on both frontend and backend)

[Uploaded] Translations with Laravel and Inertia

Localization is a breeze in Laravel applications, but what happens when you need to bring this to the client side? Turns out in Inertia, it’s pretty simple.

In this section, we’ll build a language switcher, share translations with the client, and build a simple translation helper to use directly in React components. We’ll also cover caching translations to keep things running smoothly.

[Uploaded] Infinite Scrolling with Inertia

In this section, we’ll seed our database with a bunch of data and start building the solution, we’ll start by using Inertia’s router to load additional data, and later we’ll optimize the infinite scrolling flow by replacing the Router with Axios.
