Building React Components with Server Actions in Next.js
Server actions allow forms and interactions to call server-side code directly from components.
Problem
Some mutations should not rely on client-side state alone and need direct access to database or authentication logic.
Working approach
- Define a server action in a file with
"use server". - Import and call it from a form component.
- Handle loading and error states with React transitions.
Verification
Test the component locally and confirm the server action returns the expected result without client-side workarounds.
