This is documentation for Inertia.js v1, which is no longer actively maintained. Please refer to the v3 docs.
Inertia is a new approach to building classic server-driven web apps. We call it the modern monolith. Inertia allows you to create fully client-side rendered, single-page apps, without the complexity that comes with modern SPAs. It does this by leveraging existing server-side patterns that you already love. Inertia has no client-side routing, nor does it require an API. Simply build controllers and page views like you’ve always done! Inertia works great with any backend framework, but it’s fine-tuned for Laravel.

​
Not a Framework

Inertia isn’t a framework, nor is it a replacement for your existing server-side or client-side frameworks. Rather, it’s designed to work with them. Think of Inertia as glue that connects the two. Inertia does this via adapters. We currently have three official client-side adapters (React, Vue, and Svelte) and three server-side adapters (Laravel, Rails, and Phoenix).
