// ❌ Error: Importing backend code in frontend files is not allowed import User from '#models/user' import { UserService } from '../../app/services/user_service' // ✅ Correct - type-only imports are allowed import type { User } from '#models/user' import type { UserService } from '../../app/services/user_service' // ✅ Correct - imports pointing to inertia/ are allowed import { Button } from '#components/button' // if #components/* -> ./inertia/components/* import { utils } from '../utils'
Shipping a new ESLint rule: no-backend-import-in-frontend
Catches accidental backend imports in your Inertia frontend files at lint time. Type imports still allowed, and you can whitelist shared paths.
One less runtime surprise 🙌

We updated our session package so you can now store sessions in your database! 🔥
On top of that, we added session tagging across drivers (redis, database) with a new SessionCollection API to easily manage all sessions for a user.
