Description

Describe the problem

Allow for commands and form remote functions to opt out of refreshing. Currently I have created a blank nothing query to handle this. But it feels like there should be something built in to opt out. For example I have a command for extendSession that doesn’t require any new data, only setting a cookie.

Describe the proposed solution

Add refreshNothing or similar to svelte kit to opt out of refreshing,

Alternatives considered

This is sort of solvable in useland by creating an empty query and specifying to refresh it, but it’s not obvious and require some (minor) overhead.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the existing SvelteKit remote-function handling for commands and forms, especially how refreshes are triggered; done means a remote function can explicitly opt out of refreshing without requiring a blank query, with coverage for the proposed behavior.
