Installation

Prerequisites

Tool	Minimum version	Role
Deno	2.x	Server runtime
Node.js	18+	Required for Vite (npm/npx)

Tip — The @streemkit/inertia-deno-cli handles all of this automatically. See CLI → init to create a project with one command.

Manual installation

1. deno.json

Add @streemkit/inertia-deno to your project imports:

// deno.json
{
  "imports": {
    "deno-inertia": "jsr:@streemkit/inertia-deno"
  }
}

With your router of choice:

// Hono
{
  "imports": {
    "deno-inertia":      "jsr:@streemkit/inertia-deno",
    "deno-inertia/hono": "jsr:@streemkit/inertia-deno/hono",
    "hono":              "jsr:@hono/hono@^4"
  }
}

// Oak
{
  "imports": {
    "deno-inertia":     "jsr:@streemkit/inertia-deno",
    "deno-inertia/oak": "jsr:@streemkit/inertia-deno/oak",
    "@oak/oak":         "jsr:@oak/oak@^17"
  }
}

2. package.json — npm dependencies (Vite + frontend)

// package.json
{
  "devDependencies": {
    "vite": "^6.0.0",

    // Vue 3
    "vue":                "^3.5.0",
    "@inertiajs/vue3":    "^2.0.0",
    "@vitejs/plugin-vue": "^5.0.0",

    // React 18 (alternative)
    "react":                "^18.3.0",
    "react-dom":            "^18.3.0",
    "@types/react":         "^18.3.0",
    "@types/react-dom":     "^18.3.0",
    "@inertiajs/react":     "^2.0.0",
    "@vitejs/plugin-react": "^4.0.0"
  }
}

npm install      # or pnpm install / yarn / bun install

3. vite.config.ts

// Vue
import { defineConfig } from "vite"
import vue from "@vitejs/plugin-vue"

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue()],
  server: { cors: true },          // allow requests from Deno server
  build: {
    manifest: true,                // generates .vite/manifest.json
    outDir: "dist",
    rollupOptions: { input: "src/main.ts" },
  },
})

// React
import { defineConfig } from "vite"
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  server: { cors: true },
  build: {
    manifest: true,
    outDir: "dist",
    rollupOptions: { input: "src/main.tsx" },
  },
})

4. compilerOptions (React only)

If you use React with deno check, add to deno.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "jsxImportSource": "react",
    "lib": ["deno.ns", "dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"]
  }
}

For Vue, only lib is needed (Vite handles JSX):

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": ["deno.ns", "dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"]
  }
}

Verification

deno check server.ts      # type-check the server
deno task dev             # start Vite + Deno server
