Episode notes
Best of Backend and Frontend
- Use Inertia to write frontend in Vue while leveraging Laravel's powerful backend features.
- Accept that backend is PHP and frontend is JavaScript, but type sharing via packages can help.
Async Enhancements in Inertia v2
- Inertia v2 introduces async features like deferred props and polling for smoother data fetching.
- Deferred props allow initial page load to skip heavy data, loading it asynchronously with skeleton loaders.
Secure Cache Clearing with Encryption
- Inertia v2 solves stale auth cache by encrypting and rotating history state keys stored in browser session storage.
- This clears sensitive data on logout or session end to prevent unauthorized data visibility on back navigation.
