Astro Actions inspired handling of FormData

[maltesa]

I really like how Astro Actions are abstracting Server Actions. They are also heavily inspired by trpc. For me, the handling of FormData looks like a good solution. I know that I could use zod-form-data for that, but I like the astro solution more.

• Example
• Form API Reference

Would a similar API be an idea for next-safe-action?

I personally think zod-form-data is better for this use case, but I'll keep this discussion open to see what the community thinks as well.

Probably you're right. But in combination mit client-side validation (e.g. react-hook-form) I need two schemas, right? One for the client and one zod-form-data schema for the action.
Ultimately, we want to validate the data of the same form. Using two schemas for it seems redundant. Or do you see a way to use the zod-form-data schema for react-hook-form etc.?

I 100% support this. No client-side form library works with zod-form-data, so I either need to duplicate schemas or only validate on the server.
