Router: make replace url optional

[didix16]

Hello there!

I'm using router.post() to send FormData (from '/' endpoint) to a POST endpoint Controller which does not have GET method, only POST. So when I use router.post(/post-only-endpoint), after sending the form, the browser URL changes to that URL (which I don't want to) and then if I have to send again the form and lets say that the $request->validate() aborts, then a pop up shows saying that I cannot do a GET request to that endpoint: (because now I'm sending the request from /post-only-endpoint)

I know I can use axios or fetch but I want the integration that offers Inertia to update the component properties and error settings on every router.visit action

So I propose to add a variable in router.visit() method, called followUrl (by default to true) which if you set it to false, on setPage method

inertia/packages/core/src/router.ts

Line 457 in ca7e7cb

replace ? this.replaceState(page) : this.pushState(page)

allows to call replaceState/pushState like this:

replace ? this.replaceState({...page, url: followUrl ? page.url : window.location.href}) : this.pushState({...page, url: followUrl ? page.url : window.location.href}) 

And thus, keep the url browser untouched.

Sorry for my bad english.I hope the message is understood.

Thanks in advance!
