@starter-solutions/inertia-data-table-vue (Vue 3 + Inertia companion package).

If you are looking for the frontend package, visit:
👉 https://github.com/starter-solutions/inertia-data-table-vue

📦 Overview

starter-solutions/inertia-data-table provides a clean and consistent way to handle:

• Server-driven pagination
• Sorting
• Query parameter management
• Multiple independent tables per page
• Inertia-powered table state synchronization

It extends Laravel’s query builder with a data-table macro that integrates seamlessly with Inertia.js and Vue 3.

This package is designed to work together with:

Frontend (Vue 3 + Inertia):
https://github.com/starter-solutions/inertia-data-table-vue

Together they provide a structured, reusable approach to building sortable and paginated data tables in Laravel + Inertia applications.

🚀 Installation

composer require starter-solutions/inertia-data-table

🧠 Concept

The package introduces a table key–based system:

• Each table has a unique identifier.
• Pagination and sorting state are scoped to that identifier.
• Multiple tables can exist on the same Inertia page without conflicts.
• The backend remains the single source of truth for data ordering and limits.

This approach keeps controllers clean while maintaining predictable frontend behavior.

🎯 Goals

• Provide a Laravel-native API similar to ->paginate()
• Avoid manual query string management
• Support multiple tables on one page
• Keep pagination logic centralized
• Maintain full compatibility with Inertia.js
