Server Actions in Next.js 14
Server Actions let you call backend logic directly from your components without writing API routes.
🧠 How it Works
- Declare a function with
'use server'
- Pass it to a form or trigger it programmatically
Example
ts'use server'; export async function submitData(formData: FormData) { // Handle DB logic }
🔥 Benefits
- Simpler code
- No API routes
- Closer to the React mental model
