The Rails adapter for Inertia.js, letting you build single-page React, Vue, or Svelte apps on top of existing Rails controllers, routes, and authentication without a separate API. Controllers pass data as props via `render inertia:`, and client-side navigation is handled through XHR visits.

Use cases

• build a react spa with rails backend without an api
• add vue or svelte frontend to existing rails app
• replace rails views with modern javascript components
• avoid building a separate rest or graphql api
• server-side render inertia pages in rails
• pass rails controller data as props to frontend

When to choose

• you have a Rails app and want a modern SPA frontend without maintaining a separate API
• you want to reuse Rails controllers, routing, and authentication for client-side rendering
• you prefer a monolithic stack over a decoupled frontend/backend architecture

When to avoid

• you need a standalone API consumed by native mobile apps or third parties
• your team prefers a fully decoupled SPA with a dedicated API backend
• you are not using Ruby on Rails
