How to setup inertia on my project, gives me an error when I try and load the login page
I'm trying to setup Inertia to use in my Laravel project but it gives me errors? Where is my mistake?
I installed Inertia with this command
composer require inertiajs/inertia-laravel
followed the instructions on the github page and added @inertia to my app.blade.php like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<!-- CSRF Token -->
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<!-- Scripts -->
<script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}" defer></script>
<link rel="icon" type="image/jpg" href="{{asset("/image/logo2.png")}}">
<!-- Fonts -->
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//fonts.gstatic.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Styles -->
<link href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
@inertia
</body>
</html>
in my Login Controller
public function showLoginForm()
{
return Inertia::render('Auth/Login');
}
in my routes/web.php
Auth::routes();
Route::get('login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
Route::post('login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
This is the error I get:
the lines that is highlighted is the @inertia which show up as this
<div id="app" data-page="<?php echo e(json_encode($page)); ?>"></div>
What am i doing wrong?
Answer
@inertia blade directive is working but not rendered because you need to install the frontend adapter
npm install @inertiajs/inertia @inertiajs/inertia-vue
Set it up in webpack.mix.js
const mix = require('laravel-mix')
const path = require('path')
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.webpackConfig({
output: { chunkFilename: 'js/[name].js?id=[chunkhash]' },
resolve: {
alias: {
vue$: 'vue/dist/vue.runtime.esm.js',
'@': path.resolve('resources/js'),
},
},
})
And initialize it in Vue resources/js/app.js
import { InertiaApp } from '@inertiajs/inertia-vue'
import Vue from 'vue'
Vue.use(InertiaApp)
const app = document.getElementById('app')
const pages = {
'Auth/Login': require('./Pages/Auth/Login.vue').default,
}
new Vue({
render: h => h(InertiaApp, {
props: {
initialPage: JSON.parse(app.dataset.page),
resolveComponent: name => pages[name],
},
}),
}).$mount(app)
