Type safe modern server actions for Next.js
npm install next-cool-action> Note: This is a fork of next-safe-action by Edoardo Ranghieri.
next-cool-action is a library that takes full advantage of the latest and greatest Next.js, React and TypeScript features to let you define type safe Server Actions and execute them inside React Components.
- Pretty simple
- End-to-end type safety
- Form Actions support
- Powerful middleware system
- Input/output validation using multiple validation libraries
- Advanced server error handling
- Optimistic updates
next-cool-action is an internal rewrite of next-safe-action.
There are some open issues in next-safe-action related to revalidateTag, cacheComponents, and actions getting stuck in loading state (#393, #376). The repo author seems to be busy, and since I couldn't wait, I rewrote the internals in a cleaner fashion.
The main change: instead of using useLayoutEffect to react to state changes and fire callbacks, next-cool-action calls callbacks directly after the server action completes. This seems to have fixed quite a few of these timing issues. I also fixed a few internal type issues and removed some unnecessary type assertions.
