SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @inertiajs/svelte.

What problem does it solve? Building single-page application behavior with Svelte and Inertia requires correct use of v3 APIs and Svelte 5 runes syntax; mixing legacy Svelte 4 patterns or plain anchor tags breaks SPA navigation and form handling. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Page Components & Navigation: Create Svelte page components in resources/js/Pages and navigate with <Link>, router.visit, prefetching, and instant visits. - Form Handling: Build forms with the <Form> component using {#snippet} slots, or the useForm hook for programmatic control with validation errors and processing states. - Inertia v3 Features: Implement deferred props, optimistic updates, polling with usePoll, WhenVisible lazy loading, InfiniteScroll, layout props via setLayoutProps, and plain HTTP requests via useHttp. - Use Case: When adding a dashboard page to a Laravel + Inertia + Svelte app, generate a Svelte 5 component that polls stats every 5 seconds and defers non-critical props with skeleton loading states. ## Quick Start Create an Inertia Svelte 5 page component with a form that posts to /users and shows validation errors.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a form in Svelte with Inertia?▼

Use the `<Form>` component from @inertiajs/svelte with an action and method, rendering fields inside a `{#snippet children({ errors, processing })}` slot. For programmatic control, use the `useForm` hook and call `form.post()` in an onsubmit handler with `e.preventDefault()`.

How do I navigate between Inertia pages in Svelte?▼

Use the `<Link>` component from @inertiajs/svelte instead of plain `<a>` tags to preserve SPA behavior. For programmatic navigation, call `router.visit('/users')` with optional method, data, and callbacks like onSuccess.

Does Inertia v3 work with Svelte 4 syntax?▼

No, Inertia v3 requires Svelte 5. You must use runes syntax: `$props()` instead of `export let`, `onclick` instead of `on:click`, `$derived()` instead of `$:`, and `{#snippet}` instead of named slots.

How do I load data after the initial page render in Inertia?▼

Use deferred props, which arrive as undefined on first render, and display a skeleton loading state until the data resolves. You can also use the WhenVisible component to lazy-load a prop only when an element scrolls into view.

Why is my Inertia form submitting as a full page reload?▼

A plain `<form>` element triggers a native browser submission unless you prevent it. Use the `<Form>` component, or call `e.preventDefault()` inside your onsubmit handler when posting via useForm or router.
