Custom component for InertiaLink component

[bobbypiper]

Discussed in https://github.com/inertiajs/inertia/discussions/998

^{Originally posted by ZeoKnight December 8, 2021} Can this line be removed from InertiaLink in React? With the as.toLowerCase() included, this blocks the ability to render as custom components (perhaps using a UI framework etc).

With the line removed I can easily do;

<InertiaLink as={Button} >Foo</InertiaLink>

Thoughts?

+1 not just react, but Vue can benefit from this. UI lib like Vuetify does not support InertiaLink atm maybe there should be a check if prop type is a component or string/HTMLElement if it a string, then lowercase it

Hey! Thanks so much for your interest in Inertia.js and for sharing this issue/suggestion.

In an attempt to get on top of the issues and pull requests on this project I am going through all the older issues and PRs and closing them, as there's a decent chance that they have since been resolved or are simply not relevant any longer. My hope is that with a "clean slate" me and the other project maintainers will be able to better keep on top of issues and PRs moving forward.

Of course there's a chance that this issue is still relevant, and if that's the case feel free to simply submit a new issue. The only thing I ask is that you please include a super minimal reproduction of the issue as a Git repo. This makes it much easier for us to reproduce things on our end and ultimately fix it.

Really not trying to be dismissive here, I just need to find a way to get this project back into a state that I am able to maintain it. Hope that makes sense! ❤️
