Why I choose Inertia over Livewire

Hi, back when Livewire was first announced I gave it a try. I was excited, but I felt like the way it's hydrated doesn't fulfill my needs. Then I found Inertia and got excited again. Even tho it doesn't allow me to use Laravel's helpers I feel like I have full control and that's what I need.

Now that Livewire v3 came about, it looks much better and I had to try it again, to see if I could use it for my future projects. Wire:navigate is so amazing, but I just tested the very thing that made me leave the first time.

If it's a skill issue on my part, well, I'm a fool, will eat my critique and be happy that I was using Livewire wrong and can start using it properly now.

Let me demonstrate:

Model: class File extends Model { protected $appends = ['rand']; protected $fillable = ['name']; public function getRandAttribute() { return rand(1, 100); } }

Livewire Component: class Test extends Component { public $count = 1; // public $files = []; public function mount() { // $this->files = File::all(); } public function do() { $this->count++; } public function render() { return view('livewire.test')->with([ 'files' => File::all(), ]); } }

Livewire Blade: {{ $count }} @foreach ($files as $file) {{ $file->name }} {{ $file->rand }} @endforeach

I tested both commented and `with()` options, but both had same result. On every click, which only increases the count, the `rand` value changed.

Now you might see what's my problem. If the rand attribute was s3 file getter, I'm paying for every rerender.

So, is this doable in Livewire with different approach, or does it have to be like this? submitted by /u/narrei
