A pjax middleware for Laravel
Pjax is a jQuery plugin that leverages ajax to speed up the loading time of your pages. It works by only fetching specific html fragments from the server, and client-side updating only happens on certain parts of the page.
The package provides a middleware that can return the response that the jQuery plugin expects.
There's a Vue-PJAX Adapter equivalent by @barnabaskecskes which doesn't require jQuery.

Installation
You can install the package via composer:
$ composer require spatie/laravel-pjax
Next you must add the \Spatie\Pjax\Middleware\FilterIfPjax-middleware to the kernel.
// app/Http/Kernel.php
...
protected $middleware = [
...
\Spatie\Pjax\Middleware\FilterIfPjax::class,
];
Usage
The provided middleware provides the behaviour that the pjax plugin expects of the server:
An X-PJAX request header is set to differentiate a pjax request from normal XHR requests. In this case, if the request is pjax, we skip the layout html and just render the inner contents of the container.
Laravel cache busting tip
When using Laravel Mix to manage your frontend cache busting, you can use it to your advantage to bust pjax's cache. Simply include the mix method as the content of the x-pjax-version meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="x-pjax-version" content="{{ mix('/css/app.css') }}">
Multiple files:
<meta http-equiv="x-pjax-version" content="{{ mix('/css/app.css') . mix('/css/app2.css') }}">
This way, anytime your frontend's cache gets busted, pjax's cache gets automatically busted as well!
