What is the difference between useSubmission and useAction?

useSubmission is used to track the reactive state (pending, error, result) of a specific action, usually tied to a form. useAction is used to trigger an action programmatically, such as from a custom event handler or a button click.

Why should I use 'use server' in my SolidStart actions?

Marking an action with 'use server' ensures that the code inside runs exclusively on the server. This is critical for security when performing database operations or using private API keys.

How do I handle form validation in SolidStart?

The recommended pattern is to return error objects from your actions instead of throwing errors. You can then display these errors in the UI by accessing the 'result' property from the useSubmission hook.

How do I redirect a user after a successful data mutation?

In SolidStart actions, you must throw the redirect() function rather than returning it. This allows the framework to handle the navigation immediately after the server process completes.

API Development

Simplifies SolidStart data mutations using server actions, form validation, and reactive UI states.

This skill provides Claude with specialized knowledge for implementing robust data mutation patterns in SolidStart applications. it covers the creation of server-side actions, native form handling, and the integration of sophisticated UI patterns like optimistic updates, pending states, and comprehensive error handling. By using this skill, developers can ensure their SolidStart projects follow best practices for security through 'use server' directives, type safety, and seamless client-server communication while providing a high-quality user experience.
