Single-Page Load Functionality

[mk5-danny-w]

Hi Laravel Backpack Team,

I'm currently evaluating Laravel Backpack packages and noticed in your demo site (https://demo.backpackforlaravel.com/) that the page transitions seem to function as single-page loads. I am interested in understanding if this feature is available across all packages or if it is exclusive to a specific subscription.

Could you please clarify if the single-page load functionality is included as a core feature of your packages, or if there are particular implementation required?

Thanks

I apologize, but I don't have enough information in the provided knowledge sources to definitively answer your question about single-page load functionality in Backpack. The documents don't contain specific details about page transition behavior or single-page load features.

However, I can provide some relevant information based on what is available:

1. Backpack has a demo site at demo.backpackforlaravel.com, which you can use to explore its features and interface Backpack Demo.

2. Backpack is split into two main packages:

   • Backpack\CRUD: The core package, which is free and open-source.
   • Backpack\PRO: A paid add-on with additional features for more complex use cases Backpack License.

3. The documentation covers both CRUD and PRO features, with PRO features clearly labeled Backpack License.

To get a definitive answer about the single-page load functionality you observed, I would recommend:

1. Checking the official Backpack documentation for any mentions of this feature.
2. Contacting the Backpack support team directly for clarification.
3. Exploring the demo site further to see if you can determine which package (CRUD or PRO) includes this functionality.

I apologize that I couldn't provide a more specific answer to your question based on the available information.

Hi @mk5-danny-w,

Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in Backpack!

Backpack is not built as a single-page application (SPA); instead, it operates with server-rendered pages, meaning each page load fetches a new view from the server. However, certain features within Backpack use AJAX (like in-line editing, filters, and some forms) to enhance interactivity and reduce full-page reloads where possible.

The fast page loads you’ve noticed are actually thanks to Basset, Backpack’s own caching system. Basset optimizes asset loading and minimizes load times across pages, creating a smoother and faster user experience that can feel somewhat like an SPA. This feature is part of Backpack’s core.

If you're looking for a fully SPA-like experience, it might require some customizations beyond Backpack's built-in functionality. Let us know if you have any more questions about specific use cases or customization options!

Cheers.
