README

A Mako framework adapter for inertia-offline, enabling offline-first capabilities for Inertia.js applications.

Beta: offline read-only layer for Inertia.js apps, focused on safe cached content and navigation fallback.

This PHP backend package is designed to work with inertia-offline (the JS/TS frontend service worker library). Both the frontend and the backend aspects are required for an Inertia.js app.

Installation

1. Install via Composer

composer require inventor96/inertia-offline-mako

2. Register the Package in Mako

Add the package to your app/config/application.php:

'packages' => [
    'web' => [
        inventor96\InertiaOfflineMako\InertiaOfflinePackage::class,
    ],
],

Usage

See inertia-offline for usage instructions on how to mark routes as offline-cacheable and configure the client-side service worker.

Configuration

The default configuration for the package works out of the box, but you can create an override file at app/config/packages/inertia-offline/offline.php to customize settings:

return [
	/**
	 * The class that implements `PaginationUrlExpanderInterface` to use for
	 * expanding pagination URLs in the `OfflineRoutes` adapter. When left null
	 * or empty, the default is to use an adapter that relies on the built-in
	 * pagination of Mako.
	 */
	'pagination_expander' => null,

	/**
	 * The time (in seconds) that the offline route list response should be
	 * cached by clients and intermediate caches. Default is 86400 (24 hours).
	 */
	'route_list_cache_ttl' => 86400,

	/**
	 * The path for the route that serves the list of offline routes. Must be
	 * the same as `routeMetaPath` in the client config. Set to null or empty
	 * to disable automatic registration of the route (e.g. you want to
	 * register it manually). Default is `/pwa/offline-routes`.
	 */
	'routes_path' => '/pwa/offline-routes',

	/**
	 * The path for the route that serves the Inertia version. Must be the same
	 * as `routeVersionPath` in the client config. Set to null or empty to
	 * disable automatic registration of the route (e.g. you want to register
	 * it manually). Default is `/pwa/offline-version`.
	 */
	'version_path' => '/pwa/offline-version',
];

Etag Middleware

In case you don't have Etag support in your application, you can use the ConditionalEtag middleware provided by the package. This middleware generates ETags for responses related to offline functionality. Enabling ETag support is optional, but is highly recommended for better caching and performance for the client-side service worker.

Register Globally

As the middleware automatically avoids adding ETags to non-offline responses, you can safely register it globally. Add the middleware to your app/http/routing/middleware.php in the global middleware list, setting a high priority to ensure it runs last:

$dispatcher
    ->registerGlobalMiddleware(\inventor96\InertiaOfflineMako\ConditionalEtag::class)
    ->setMiddlewarePriority(\inventor96\InertiaOfflineMako\ConditionalEtag::class, 1000);

Custom Pagination URL Expander

By default, the package uses Mako's built-in pagination. If your application uses custom pagination patterns, implement a custom expander.

Example Implementation

Create a class that implements PaginationUrlExpanderInterface:

<?php

namespace app\adapters;

use inventor96\InertiaOffline\Contracts\PaginationUrlExpanderInterface;
use inventor96\InertiaOffline\OfflineCacheable;

class CustomPaginationUrlExpander implements PaginationUrlExpanderInterface
{
    public function expand(
        string $baseUrl,
        mixed $pagination, // from the OfflineCacheable::$pagination attribute
        mixed $route,
        OfflineCacheable $attribute,
        array $routeParams = []
    ): array {
        $urls = [];
        
        // Extract total pages or items from your pagination object
        $totalPages = $pagination->pages() ?? 1;
        
        // Generate URLs for each page
        for ($page = 1; $page <= $totalPages; $page++) {
            $urls[] = $baseUrl . '?page=' . $page;
        }
        
        return $urls;
    }
}

Register in Config

Update app/config/packages/inertia-offline/offline.php to use your custom expander:

'pagination_expander' => \app\adapters\CustomPaginationUrlExpander::class,

The package will automatically instantiate your expander through the Mako framework container and use it when generating offline route lists.
