|
5 | | -This helper is used to handle form submissions and can provide optimistic updates while actions are in flight as well as pending state feedback. |
6 | | -This method will return a single (latest) value while its sibling, [`useSubmissions`](/solid-router/reference/data-apis/use-submissions), will return all values submitted while the component is active. With an optional second parameter for a filter function. |
| 5 | +The `useSubmission` function returns a submission object for a specified action. |
| 6 | +This submission object contains properties to access the state of action execution and functions to control the action. |
7 | 7 |
|
8 | | -It's important to note that `useSubmission` requires the form method to be **post** otherwise it will trigger a browser navigation and will not work. |

| 39 | +:::info[Note] |
| 40 | +If an action is executed multiple times, the last submission will be returned. |
| 41 | +To access all submissions, `useSubmissions`[/solid-router/reference/data-apis/use-submissions] can be used. |

31 | | -## Filtering Submissions |
32 | | - |
33 | | -As an optional second parameter, the `useSubmission` helper can receive a filter function to only return the submission that matches the condition. |
34 | | -The filter receives the submitted dated as a parameter and should return a boolean value. |
35 | | -E.g.: action below will only submit if the name is "solid". |
36 | | - |
37 | | -```tsx title="component.tsx" {4-8} |
38 | | -import { useSubmission } from "@solidjs/router"; |
39 | | - |
40 | | -function Component() { |
41 | | - const submission = useSubmission(postNameAction, ([formData]) => { |
42 | | - const name = formData.get("name") ?? ""; |
43 | | - |
44 | | - return name === "solid"; |
45 | | - }); |
46 | | - |
47 | | - return ( |
48 | | - <form action={postNameAction} method="post"> |
49 | | - <input type="text" name="name" /> |
50 | | - <button type="submit"> |
51 | | - {submission.pending ? "Adding..." : "Add"} |
52 | | - </button> |
53 | | - </form> |
54 | | - ) |
55 | | -} |
56 | | -``` |
57 | | - |
58 | | -## Optimistic Updates |
59 | | - |
60 | | -When the form is submitted, the `submission` object will be updated with the new value and the `pending` property will be set to `true`. |
61 | | -This allows you to provide feedback to the user that the action is in progress. |
62 | | -Once the action is complete, the `pending` property will be set to `false` and the `result` property will be updated with final value. |
63 | | - |
64 | | -```tsx tab title="TypeScript" {6,10-12} |
65 | | -// component.tsx |
66 | | -import { Show } from "solid-js"; |
67 | | -import { useSubmission } from "@solidjs/router"; |
68 | | - |
69 | | -function Component() { |
70 | | - const submission = useSubmission(postNameAction); |
71 | | - |
72 | | - return ( |
73 | | - <> |
74 | | - <Show when={submission.input?.[0].get("name")}> |
75 | | - {(name) => <div>Optimistic: {name() as string}</div>} |
76 | | - </Show> |
| 44 | +## Filter function |
77 | 45 |
|
78 | | - <Show when={submission.result?.name}> |
79 | | - {(name) => <div>Result: {name()}</div>} |
80 | | - </Show> |
| 46 | +Optionally, `useSubmission` accepts a second parameter, which is a filter function. |
| 47 | +This function is executed for each submission and returns the first submission that passes through the filter. |
| 48 | +The filter function takes the submitted data as its parameter and should return `true` to select the submission and `false` otherwise. |

122 | | -## Error Handling |
123 | | - |
124 | | -If the action fails, the `submission` object will be updated with the error and the `pending` property will be set to `false`. |
125 | | -This allows you to provide feedback to the user that the action has failed. Additionally, the return type of `useSubmission` will have a new key `error` that will contain the error object thrown by the submission handler. |
126 | | - |
127 | | -At this stage, you can also use the `retry()` method to attempt the action again or the `clear()` to wipe the filled data in the platform. |
