Can anyone show me a use case of the `currentState`-argument in a server action when using `useFormState()`?
I struggle to see why it exists.

Made a Trellix clone using all the new React and Next.js primitives as well as some experimental stuff from tRPC. Check it out trellix-trpc.vercel.app

It may sound like I'm complaining, I don't mean to, I have massive respect for everyone involved. 🫡
I am mainly super excited about what RSC and server actions enable -- isomorphic progressively enhanced websites have been a nerdy pipe dream of mine for over a decade and I've done many of my own pursuits that aren't nearly as good as what this can become

I do feel like the odd one out thinking about progressively enhanced forms when I see the APIs in React..
.. especially when form submits without JS enabled give a blank 405 page when deployed on @vercel itself

✅ No notion of "default state" when calling the hook
✅ No need to return input values in order to re-render `<input>`s values in SSR
✅ No two arguments on the server-side actions, there's only 1 - your input

nobody:
me: I hacked together a POC of an alternative API to `useFormState()` / `useActionState()` that I think is nicer than what's in @reactjs / @nextjs today
github.com/KATT/react-server…
I've made several attempts at trying to understand how to get `useFormState()`/`useActionState()` to work well isomorphically (which is the whole point, right!?).
I made a repo to showcase the issues I have & added some API suggestions for React.
Convince me I'm wrong. 🙏

well akckshuuaallly
it's nifty to use `void` when dealing with fn arguments, sometimes nicer than `?: number` here
if you're dealing with transforming fns using generics, this is very nice to know

undefined / void (same thing)
ALT A code snippet showing a variable declaration and two functions written in TypeScript. The constant "lmao" is explicitly annotated with the "void" type and is assigned "undefined". The first function, "lol," is typed to return undefined but has no return statement. The second function, "no," is typed to return void and explicitly returns undefined. Both functions are shown as correct by the absence of error highlights, suggesting that in this context, undefined and void are being treated as interchangeable return types.

Maybe actions should always do some kind of Post/Redirect/Get pattern (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/R…) but then it won't work nicely when JS is enabled.
Either I'm missing something obvious or @reactjs / @nextjs are missing something

This describes my experience perfectly. RTFM, do a reproduction, and only then file an issue. I wanted to open issues and found out its my own fault while doing the reproduction a million times in the past. It's not that hard.
At a certain size, 99% of issues filed are because they didn’t read the docs or they have some other unrelated thing messed up, so requiring a repro requires them to read the docs or see the package is working as expected and find their own problem, and then not file an issue.

Wdym @DavidKPiano, we only get fan mail and donor enquiries 😍😂
I don't think many developers realize how stressful being an open-source maintainer can be.
You provide countless hours of work and support, for *free*. And devs will still complain and unfairly criticize your work.
But the ones that are appreciative keep us going.
