until this part i was amazed how flawlessly AdonisJS works with InertiaJS, but this DTO part for me makes it a little bit non-DRY, I understand the generator package that we installed but still.

I agree, it does make things less DRY, but to my knowledge, in other Inertia-supported environments, you would need to define the type specifically for the frontend as well. At least with AdonisJS, we can convert it to the DTO on the server side to ensure what we're passing matches expectations on the frontend.
It would be awesome if we could directly access a serialized type of the model, but that would take quite the doing!

By the way thank you for these videos you have great teaching skills. Is it against TS best practices if I create a types/models.d.ts file inside inertia folder and declare my models as global interfaces/types? This way I don't have to import them inside my vue files, just use them.

That means a lot, thank you, tibormarias! Also, thank you for watching & being an Adocasts Plus member, it's greatly appreciated! Yeah, if you'd rather not use DTOs, I think that's a perfectly viable alternative approach.
