View Source ExInertia

ExInertia is a toolkit for seamlessly integrating Inertia.js with Phoenix, using Bun for JavaScript and CSS bundling.

Installation

ExInertia uses Igniter under the hood, so just run:

# in your project directory
mix archive.install hex igniter_new
mix igniter.install exinertia
copy

This will set up ExInertia and all necessary dependencies in your Phoenix project.

After Installation

After installation, you'll need to update your tailwind.config.js to include "./js/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}" in the content paths.

Development

Start your Phoenix server:

mix phx.server
copy

Visit localhost:4000/inertia to see your Inertia-powered page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not include these installers directly in the Phoenix Inertia adapter?

ExInertia makes some opinionated choices that may not suit everyone's needs. For example, we use Bun and Vite for asset bundling instead of the more commonly used esbuild. By keeping these installers separate, users have the flexibility to choose their preferred tooling while still using the core Inertia adapter.
