🎉 Inertia Table for React 🎉
Complete feature parity with the Vue version, as well as easy customization and extensibility 🔥

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 💪

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.

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 👌

If you're using Svelte, what do you like about it, especially compared to Vue?

The latest release of Inertia brings support for View Transitions! 🔥
The View Transitions API is a browser feature that lets you animate between pages. It can be a simple cross-fade, and you can even animate specific elements from one page to the next.

My Table package uses @tailwindcss.com. Users add it as source to their TW config to detect classes. I don't ship pre-compiled CSS so it adopts to custom color palettes.
But... when users configure a prefix (e.g. 'tw:'), it doesn't work, it won't detect my classes. Any suggestions?

Did a lot of cleanup, refactoring, and TypeScript improvements this week on Inertia. I'll probably tag a new release next week with all of this.

You can now access the Progress Bar API! It's the exact same API that Inertia uses under the hood 📊

Inertia 2.2 is here and it ships with a new <InfiniteScroll> component! If you've ever built infinite scrolling by hand, you know what a timesaver this is.
We worked hard sweating the details to make this super smooth and easy to implement
Let's take a look! 👇
