Next js server actions

[flat vortex]

I have two server actions for one form. The form looks exactly the same in two places (different routes), but it is used once to create a user and once to update user data. Can I use the usePathname hook to specify an action for useFormState. I mean e.g
const pathname = usePathname()
const action = pathname === "/create"? action1 : action2
const [state, dispatch] = useFormState(action, initialState)

yeah, you could do something like this:

const MyComponent = () => {
    // Get the current pathname
    const pathname = usePathname();

    // Determine the action based on the pathname
    const action = pathname === "/create" ? action1 : action2;

    // Initial state for the form
    const initialState = {}; // your initial state here

    // Initialize useFormState with the determined action
    const [state, dispatch] = useFormState(action, initialState);

    // Rest of your component logic
    // ...

    return (
        // Your form JSX
    );
};

I would rather pass the correct action via a prop

that I hard-write on each page

but otherwise no problem with that

however it will need client-side JS enabled, contrary to directly passing the action with "action="

but anyway if you use "useFormState" I think it already means your form needs client-side JavaScript enabled, to display the form state

you can use useFormState in server components too!

"useFormState lets you make forms interactive before JavaScript has executed on the client. When used without Server Components, it is equivalent to component local state." from React docs indeed, thanks @craggy palm for the confirmation

In OP case though they should indeed avoid the call to "useParams" and pass the relevant action from props in order to fully benefits from RSCs
