Inertia.js for The Boring JavaScript Stack

Inertia.js is the bridge between Sails.js and your frontend framework (React, Vue, or Svelte) in The Boring JavaScript Stack. It lets you build modern single-page apps using classic server-side routing and controllers -- no API required. The inertia-sails package implements the full Inertia.js v2 protocol as a Sails hook.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Rendering pages with Inertia (responseType: 'inertia')
• Setting page-specific meta tags, titles, and OG images with locals (sails.inertia.local(), return { locals })
• Handling form submissions and redirects (responseType: 'redirect' vs 'inertiaRedirect')
• Sharing data globally across all pages (sails.inertia.share(), once(), refreshOnce())
• Working with flash messages (sails.inertia.flash())
• Handling validation errors (responseType: 'badRequest', form.errors)
• Using advanced props: deferred, optional, always, merge, scroll
