clientAction

In addition to (or in place of) your action, you may define a clientAction function that will execute on the client.

Each route can define a clientAction function that handles mutations:

export const clientAction = async ({
  request,
  params,
  serverAction,
}: ClientActionFunctionArgs) => {
  invalidateClientSideCache();
  const data = await serverAction();
  return data;
};

This function is only ever run on the client, and can used in a few ways:

• Instead of a server action for full-client routes
• To use alongside a clientLoader cache by invalidating the cache on mutations
• To facilitate a migration from React Router

Arguments

params

This function receives the same params argument as an action.

request

This function receives the same request argument as an action.

serverAction

serverAction is an asynchronous function that makes the fetch call to the server action for this route.
