If you caught the The Laracon US 2024 Keynote by Taylor Otwell this year, you saw the excellent features coming to Inertia 2.0. It turns out that the beta might drop at the end of next week:
Our mission is to get an Inertia 2.0 beta in your hands by the end of next week. 🫡

- Prefetching
- Deferred props
- Lazy components
- Polling
- Easy infinite scrolling
It's good. ❤️
Inertia 2.0 includes a "foundational rewrite of the whole request/routing layer of Inertia" to support asynchronous requests and unlock other new features.
Here's an example from the keynote of an asynchronous request:
<Link method="put" :href="`/async/links/${id}`" :data="{ checked: !checked }" async> <!-- ... --></Link>Inertia v2.0 Features
- Async Requests - non-blocking requests - all reload requests are now asynchronous by default
- Polling - easily poll the server for updated data
- WhenVisible - asynchronously load when a component becomes visible
- Infinite scrolling - new primitives that allow you to build infinite scrolling easily
- Prefetch - prefetch a page in the background and instantly load it at the right time
- Deferred props - defer expensive props and load them in the background after the page loads
Keep your eyes peeled for the Inertia v2.0 beta announcement, which will likely be released sometime next week. If you miss it, sign up for our newsletter, and we'll be sure to announce it once it's available!
