Hello Artisan,
In the previous blog post, we saw how to set laravel + inertia js project to create a crud operation. If you haven't read it yet, then you can read it here Laravel 11 + Inertia JS (VUE) CRUD Example: Part 1
and configure a basic setup. In this part 2 series, we will build the frontend and backend logic and see how easily inertia seamlessly communicates with the laravel.
Step 1: Create an Event Controller and add the routes in web.php
php artisan make:controller EventController
This route will used to create, read, update, delete events.
// web.php
Route::get('/event', [EventManagementController::class, 'index'])
->name('event.index');
Route::get('/event/create', [EventManagementController::class, 'create'])
->name('event.create');
Route::post('/event/create', [EventManagementController::class, 'store'])
->name('event.store');
Route::get('/event/{event}', [EventManagementController::class, 'show'])
->name('event.show');
Route::get('/event/{event}/edit', [EventManagementController::class, 'edit'])
->name('event.edit');
Route::put('/event/{event}/update', [EventManagementController::class, 'update'])
->name('event.update');
Route::delete('/event/{event}/delete', [EventManagementController::class, 'delete'])
->name('event.delete');
Step 2: Create a frontend design to create an event using Inertia.
- Create a new folder and name it
EventManagementin this given pathresources\js\Pagesand within that folder create a vue component asCreate.vueand add the below code in that component.
<script setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue";
import { Head, useForm } from "@inertiajs/vue3";
import VueDatePicker from "@vuepic/vue-datepicker";
const form = useForm({
name: "",
location: "",
startDate: "",
endDate: "",
});
const save = () => {
form.post(route("event.store"), {
onFinish: () => form.reset(),
});
};
</script>

- Add the backend code to
EventControllerin thestoremethod.
public function store(Request $request)
{
$params = $request->all();
$data = [
'name' => $params['name'],
'from_datetime' => $params['startDate'],
'to_datetime' => $params['endDate'],
'location' => $params['location'],
];
Event::create($data);
return redirect()->route('event.index');
}
Step 3: Create a listing page to show the events. Create Index.vue component and add the code below.
<script setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue";
import { Head, Link, useForm } from "@inertiajs/vue3";
import DangerButton from "@/Components/DangerButton.vue";
import moment from "moment-js";
defineProps({
events: {
type: Array,
},
});
const form = useForm({});
const deleteEvent = (id) => {
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to move this to trash")) {
form.delete(route("event.delete", { id: id }), {
preserveScroll: true,
});
}
};
const formatDate = (date) => {
return moment(date).format("MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm");
};
</script>

- Backend code to view all the events
/**
* Show the all the event details
*/
public function index()
{
return Inertia::render('EventManagement/Index', [
'events' => Event::get()
]);
}
Step 4: Create a view page to show the event details. Create View.vue component and add the code below.
<script setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue";
import moment from "moment-js";
import { Link } from "@inertiajs/vue3";
const props = defineProps({
event: Object,
});
const formatDate = (date) => {
return moment(date).format("MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm");
};
</script>
<template>
<Head :title="props.event.name" />

<div class="py-12">
<div class="max-w-7xl mx-auto sm:px-6 lg:px-8 space-y-6">

<div class="p-12 px-3 m-auto rounded-lg">
<div class="mt-12 bg-white py-5 px-3 rounded-lg">
<h1 class="text-2xl font-bold">

</div>
</div>
</AuthenticatedLayout>
</template>
Step 5: Create an edit page to edit the event. Create Edit.vue component and add the code below.
<script setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue";
import { Head, useForm, usePage } from "@inertiajs/vue3";
import VueDatePicker from "@vuepic/vue-datepicker";
import PrimaryButton from "@/Components/PrimaryButton.vue";
const props = defineProps(["event"]);
const form = useForm({
id: props.event.id,
name: props.event.name,
location: props.event.location,
startDate: props.event.from_datetime,
endDate: props.event.to_datetime,
});
const update = () => {
form.put(route("event.update", props.event.id));
};
</script>

Hi! If I want to edit the resource in the same view of the index, like using a modal, how I can get the data?, I try with form.get but Inertia tells me that I need an Inertia Response, I understand that is using a redirect but I can use a simple JSON response? or do I need to change the process?
