safe-action-advanced
Use when working with bind arguments, metadata schemas, framework errors (redirect/notFound/forbidden/unauthorized), type inference utilities (InferSafeActionFnInput/Result), or server-level action callbacks
What this skill does
# next-safe-action Advanced Features
## Overview
| Feature | Use Case |
|---|---|
| [Bind arguments](./bind-arguments.md) | Pass extra args to actions via `.bind()` (e.g., resource IDs) |
| [Metadata](./metadata.md) | Attach typed metadata to actions for use in middleware |
| [Framework errors](./framework-errors.md) | Handle redirect, notFound, forbidden, unauthorized in actions |
| [Type utilities](./type-utilities.md) | Infer types from action functions and middleware |
## Server-Level Action Callbacks
The second argument to `.action()` accepts callbacks that run **on the server** (not client-side hooks):
```ts
export const createPost = authActionClient
.inputSchema(schema)
.action(
async ({ parsedInput, ctx }) => {
const post = await db.post.create(parsedInput);
return post;
},
{
onSuccess: async ({ data, parsedInput, ctx, metadata, clientInput }) => {
// Runs on the server after successful execution
await invalidateCache("posts");
},
onError: async ({ error, metadata, ctx, clientInput, bindArgsClientInputs }) => {
// error: { serverError?, validationErrors? }
await logError(error);
},
onSettled: async ({ result }) => {
// Always runs
await recordMetrics(result);
},
onNavigation: async ({ navigationKind }) => {
// Runs when a framework error (redirect, notFound, etc.) occurs
console.log("Navigation:", navigationKind);
},
}
);
```
These are distinct from hook callbacks (`useAction({ onSuccess })`) — server callbacks run in the Node.js runtime, hook callbacks run in the browser.
## throwServerError
Re-throw server errors instead of returning them as `result.serverError`:
```ts
export const myAction = actionClient
.inputSchema(schema)
.action(serverCodeFn, {
throwServerError: true,
// The handled server error (return of handleServerError) is thrown
});
```
