composer dev          # build SSR once, then run PHP + Vite + SSR
npm run dev           # Vite only

vendor/bin/pest       # PHP tests

Composer Packages

This skeleton resolves the Marko PHP packages from the standalone GitHub repositories for marko/vite, marko/inertia, and marko/inertia-svelte. The root app declares those VCS repositories directly and requires the Svelte adapter package, which pulls in the core Inertia and Vite packages transitively.

SSR is available but disabled by default through .env.example:

INERTIA_SSR_ENABLED=false
INERTIA_SSR_URL=http://localhost:13714

Requirements

• PHP 8.5+
• Composer
• Node.js 22+ and npm
