Description

Summary

In Composing Server Actions with Actions:


"use client";

import {updateName} from './actions';

function UpdateName() {
  const [name, setName] = useState('');
  const [error, setError] = useState(null);

  const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();

  const submitAction = async () => {
    startTransition(async () => {
      const {error} = await updateName(name);
      if (!error) {
        setError(error);
      } else {
        setName('');
      }
    })
  }
  
  return (
    <form action={submitAction}>
      <input type="text" name="name" disabled={isPending}/>
      {state.error && <span>Failed: {state.error}</span>}
    </form>
  )
}

There is no state variable here.

It should be this

    <form action={submitAction}>
      <input type="text" name="name" disabled={isPending}/>
      {error && <span>Failed: {error}</span>}
    </form>

Research direction

Open the React Server Actions documentation at the linked “Composing Server Actions with Actions” page and inspect the example form. Compare the JSX reference with the state variable declared above it, then update the example so the displayed error uses the declared variable. Done when the example is internally consistent and renders the intended error state.
