Heya, how do yall handle calling server actions from different routes:

export const getUsers = async () => {
  revalidatePath("/");
  return db.select().from(users);
};

Since, you can't revalidatePath in the client component;
Say I want to redirect from pageA -> anotherpageA and from pageB -> anotherpageB with a single server action like the one provided.

yeah but I don't want to pass getUsers("/pathhere"), can't It be done automatically?

write a little wrapper

which pulls the path from the router

and then passes it to the server action automatically

you could try pulling it from the headers

something like:

export const getUser = async (id: number) => {



  revalidatePath(headers().get("referer"));
  return db.select().from(users).where(eq(users.id, id));
};
