Understand the concept

Server Actions allow client interactions, such as form submissions, to call server-side functions without creating traditional API endpoints.

They simplify data mutations, improve type safety, and integrate naturally with React Server Components and the Next.js App Router.

02 / Implementation

Basic Server Action

actions.ts
"use server";

export async function createUser(formData: FormData) {
  const name = formData.get("name");

  console.log(name);
}
