Inertia Table has been a great success so far! And due to high demand, here's the next big thing for Inertia UI:

🎉 Inertia Table for React 🎉

Complete feature parity with the Vue version, as well as easy customization and extensibility 🔥

#Laravel #React #PHP #InertiaJS
With the latest version of Laravel Precognition, you can now validate array and nested object fields using wildcards ✨

form.validate('author.*')

form.validate('contributors.*.email')

form.validate('contributors.*.*')

Remember that €6 domain I bought? Here's what it became 🔥

Rundown: Connect GitHub → Get client-ready status reports from your actual commits

Built it in a week. Can't believe it works.

Just bought a €6 domain for this, the cheapest and best domain I've bought in years. Not sure about the business plan, but Claude is doing such an incredible job branding this thing that I just have to deploy it 🤣
Laravel + Inertia + Vue + Boost + Wayfinder Next + AI SDK + Opus + Chrome MCP

BOY I'M COOKING SO FAST RIGHT NOW 🧑‍🍳

(just a demo project, but DAMN!)

Added Firefox to the party as well. It turned out there were two Firefox quirks that needed to be fixed! 😅
Got the Inertia test suite running against WebKit in CI (alongside Chromium), which was a challenge!

Now we can target browser-specific quirks, and also ensure none of the existing functionality breaks in Safari in future releases 👌

The next major version of Inertia Table will drop support for Laravel 11 and below, Inertia 1, and Tailwind 3.

It will focus on improved customization and fewer dependencies. No more external datepicker or popover libraries, everything cooked in-house 👨‍🍳

Is anybody else experiencing issues with the @github.com API? My token wasn't expired, but I renewed it anyway, yet I still get "Requires authentication" errors.

Moving the Inertia Table E2E test suite from Dusk to @pestphp.bsky.social. All 121 tests pass.

I needed a few helpers here and there, but I'm super happy with the result. I will open PRs for the helpers, maybe others will find them useful as well 👌

I'm 🤏 this close to building an open-source vanilla JS library for popovers, dropdowns, tooltips, click outside, focus trap, and other utilities.

Would give me full control and avoid third-party libs with inconsistent behavior across adapters.

Started 2026 debugging an Inertia issue, ended up filing a WebKit bug report. Who would have guessed!

To be honest: I've been stuck on Inertia UI Forms for months. Part deciding on features, part waiting to ship some Inertia features first.

Finally ready to get back to it with a clear plan 💪

Happy New Year! 🎆

Ready for another new feature? Introducing Flash Data in Inertia! ⚡️

With Flash Data, you can send one-time values to your frontend that won't reappear when users navigate through browser history. Perfect for success messages, newly created IDs, or other temporary values.

Today we're bringing Precognition to Inertia's Form component! 🔮

And not only in the Form component, we're also bringing it to useForm() out of the box. No additional packages needed anymore.

Say hello to a brand new kind of prop in Inertia: Once Props! 💨

Once Props are evaluated only once on the server and then carried over to the next page that has the same prop. This is ideal for shared data that rarely changes or data that is huge or expensive to compute.

I've been cooking a new Inertia feature this week! 👨‍🍳

We've got some bangers for the rest of the year.

New Inertia website! 🔥
Gave the Inertia website a fresh coat of paint and moved the docs over the Mintlify! This means:

🔍 Better search results
🤖 Plays nicer with AI
🧑‍💻 Easier to maintain
🎨 Looks purdy

Shoutout to @jrmybtlr.com (🐐) and @pascalbaljet.bsky.social (🐐) for all of their work on this!

Behold:

Back from a lovely trip to Italy to join LaravelDay! It's always a pleasure to meet people in person, and I love how everybody's so passionate about Laravel.

Had a great time showing off new Inertia features. Big thanks to the organizers and my Laravel colleague Abby! 🙌
