Server actions might make the actual request simpler, but React Query seems a lot better for managing the state of your fetch requests.

Hello, thank you for the tutorials. What I'm searching for for complex form validation - i.e. a tutorial that puts together the 1) server actions + 2) react-hook-form + 3) zod.

very interesting! clear explanation 👏 Would this apply for a datagrid too?

In previous video you told importing something inside "use client" component then whatever is imported also runs on client side ?

Helpful explanation thanks! Does this only work for forms? Suppose I just want to have a single button that does something, e.g., liking a comment on a social media site. Should I go through the whole process of wrapping it in a form, then making the button a separate child component etc. Seems easier to just make an api endpoint and call it on onClick. Or is there a more Nextonic (a word I just made up) way?

Yes, works outside forms too but you have to invoke the server action differently (not with ‘action’ attribute)

can we use server actions for sign in , currently using action='/auth/sign-in' with method = 'post' where my sign-in route.ts in in app/auth/sign-in/route.ts?

@alvaro1728 6 ай бұрын

So on the surface it may seem simpler but in practice it still makes the same number of network trips and now you have to deal with NextJS and having client vs server components. BTW, you can easily abstract away the fetch calls inside utility classes (eg, api.todos.add(value)). It's a nice way to separate the concerns.

can you please make a video between Next.js and Express.js and which one to choose in the back-end and the benefits and cons of each one

@ByteGrad 9 ай бұрын

Good idea

Nextjs has a decent backend, but between Express and Nextjs for backend, I prefer "Nestjs". This last one is a JS backend framework that uses express but is opinionated, I recommend it with close eyes.

@gubocci 6 ай бұрын

Having used nestjs for one medium large project - would not recommend. Way overkill for most projects and makes some simple things way too labour intensive.

Thanks for your video and explanation! From a DevOps perspective... you are creating a monolith application, which you can not scale the front and the back separately, I guess this is the biggest downside. The other big downside is that you can not use multiple clients (front-ends) and using the same server (back-end).

@rjlacanlaled9419 8 ай бұрын

turborepo? you create reusable components for each client (assuming they all use typescript/javascript)

@Thikondrius 6 ай бұрын

Yeah that is what I am not a fan of server action. There are made to be used by your nextjs front ONLY.

@alexnelson2119 5 ай бұрын

I've really been enjoying server actions. Nice not to have to make an api route. One thing I found out recently that's a bit annoying with respect to form data is there are no actual boolean type values you can get from HTML forms. Checkboxes only have 'on' when checked and no value at all if unchecked. Also, input forms always have string values when you get their value from formData, never a number, even if the input is type=number. Of course you can always do a combo of state and server actions.

I'm confused. Do I use React Hook Forms or use Server Actions ? Does React Hook Forms also use server action ? If I use React Hook Forms, I give up the benefit of server actions ? Any advice any one ? Thanks very much in advanced.
