README

A Laravel package that measures the size of InertiaJS props and provides statistics about them. This tool helps you monitor and optimize your Inertia payloads during development.

What it does

This package:

• Measures payload size: Automatically calculates the total size of your Inertia props in KB
• Warns about large payloads: Displays console warnings and an expandable stats panel when props exceed the configured threshold
• Detects duplicate keys: Identifies when the same key is used in both shared and page props
• Development-only: Only collects stats in non-production environments to avoid unnecessary overhead
• Configurable exceptions: Control when exceptions are thrown for duplicate keys or size violations
• Flare integration: Optionally reports large payloads to Spatie Flare for monitoring
• Ray integration: Sends payload statistics to Ray for debugging

The package provides detailed statistics including:

• Total payload size (shared + page props)
• Component-specific props size
• Configured threshold
• Amount exceeded (if applicable)
• Duplicate keys between shared and page props

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require webhubworks/inertia-props-stats

Publish the configuration file (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="inertia-props-stats-config"

This will create a config/inertia-props-stats.php file where you can customize:

return [
    'enabled' => env('INERTIA_PAYLOAD_SIZE_MEASUREMENT_ENABLED', true),

    'payload_size' => [
        'threshold_in_kb' => (int) env('INERTIA_PAYLOAD_SIZE_THRESHOLD_IN_KB', 500),
    ],

    'throw_exception' => [
        'on_duplicate_keys' => env('INERTIA_PROPS_THROW_EXCEPTION_ON_DUPLICATE_KEYS', true),
        'when_component_props_size_exceed_total_props_size' => env('INERTIA_PROPS_THROW_WHEN_COMPONENT_PROPS_EXCEED_TOTAL_PROPS_SIZE', true),
    ],
];

Configuration options:

• enabled: Enable/disable stats collection globally (disabled in production by default)
• payload_size.threshold_in_kb: Size threshold in KB before warnings are shown
• throw_exception.on_duplicate_keys: Throw an exception when duplicate keys are detected in shared and page props
• throw_exception.when_component_props_size_exceed_total_props_size: Throw an exception when component props exceed total props size

Recommended thresholds:

• Soft limit: 100-200KB
• Hard limit: 500KB

Vue.js Component

An example Vue.js component is included in resources/js/components/InertiaPropsStatsPanel.vue that you can copy and paste into your main app.

This component:

• Monitors the _inertiaPayloadTotalSizeInKb prop
• Displays an expandable stats panel when the payload exceeds the threshold
• Shows detailed payload statistics including size, threshold, and duplicate keys
• Provides a cleaner UI for development environments with more detailed error messages

To use it, copy the component to your Vue.js application and include it in your main layout:

<script setup>
import InertiaPropsStatsPanel from '@/components/InertiaPropsStatsPanel.vue'
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <InertiaPropsStatsPanel />
    <!-- Your app content -->
  </div>
</template>

Note: The component requires lucide-vue-next for icons. Install it with:

npm install lucide-vue-next
