Routing ​

Defining routes ​

When using Inertia, all of your application's routes are defined server-side. This means that you don't need Vue Router or React Router. Instead, you can simply define default Rails routes and return Inertia responses from those routes.

Shorthand routes ​

If you have a page that doesn't need a corresponding controller method, like an "FAQ" or "about" page, you can route directly to a component via the inertia route helper inside routes.rb.

ruby
inertia "about" => "AboutComponent"

URL in frontend ​

Rails allow you to generate URLs from named routes. However, you will not have access to those helpers client-side by default.

But we can use the package js_from_routes to generate the routes in the frontend. This package will generate a JavaScript path helpers and API methods from your Rails routes.

There is an official integration with inertia @js-from-routes/inertia
