Using React with Inertia.js

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Rebuilt a multiplayer math-quiz app (original took ~200 hours) using React + Inertia.js + Laravel + Tailwind and cuts boilerplate by sending backend data as props instead of Axios/fetch calls, so components access user data directly and forms use useForm for reactive state and server validation. Inertia 2.0 adds async requests, deferred props, prefetching, polling via usePoll, background reloads and native history/scroll restoration, enabling SPA-like speed with monolithic controllers.
