Hi @violet hedge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
#How to get param in action form
sweet gladeBOT
In Next.js, you can access URL query parameters in your server actions using the NextRequest instance that is passed to your Route Handler. This instance has some additional convenience methods, including for more easily handling query parameters.
Here's an example of how you can do this:
import { type NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export function GET(request: NextRequest) {
const searchParams = request.nextUrl.searchParams
const query = searchParams.get('query')
// query is "hello" for /api/search?query=hello
}
In this example, request.nextUrl.searchParams is used to access the search parameters from the URL. The get method is then used to retrieve the value of a specific search parameter.
Please note that this example assumes that you are using TypeScript. If you are using JavaScript, you would not need to include the type NextRequest part.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on Route Handlers (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-handlers#url-query-parameters).
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@sweet glade
'use server'
const uploadAnswer = async (formData: FormData) => {
console.log(formData.get('answer'))
}
export { uploadAnswer }
I only have formData

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
In your server action, you can use the formData() method on the request object to read the FormData. Here's an example:
export async function POST(request: Request) {
const formData = await request.formData()
const answer = formData.get('answer')
console.log(answer)
// ...rest of your code
}
In this example, request.formData() is used to read the FormData from the request. The get method is then used to retrieve the value of the 'answer' field from the FormData.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on Route Handlers (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-handlers#request-body-formdata).

@sweet glade BUT I WANT TO GET PARAMS

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
In Next.js, if you want to access the URL parameters (like a slug) in your server action, you can use the nextUrl property of the NextRequest object. The nextUrl property is an instance of NextURL, which provides several methods to work with the URL, including accessing the pathname, query parameters, and route parameters.
Here's an example of how you can access the route parameters:
import { type NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export function POST(request: NextRequest) {
const { pathname } = request.nextUrl
// pathname is "/posts/hello" for /posts/hello
}
In this example, request.nextUrl.pathname is used to access the pathname from the URL. If your URL includes a slug (like /posts/hello), the pathname will include the slug (/posts/hello).
Please note that this example assumes that you are using TypeScript. If you are using JavaScript, you would not need to include the type NextRequest part.
