wouldn't this approach cause all of the other server components to re-fetch too?

by fetch, I mean using server actions

I think you could try to set a tag to the fetch request in the server component and use revalidateTag with server action to revalidate it

thanks! So as an example of what i'd want to happen:

1) Server component provides some data to a child component, (graph) - this graph updates every 1 second, and the server function is directly hooked into the database to fetch the data

So i'm just trying to figure out what would be the best way to handle this server action execution from within the client component without every other server component from re-running

It might not be possible, which would just mean I'd have to fetch it from the client component but if I can help not having to create a route etc and doing it that way that'd be great

oh if its updating every 1 second then its better to use client component for that

Yeah I thought so, since it doesn't seem possible to really trigger a server component reload just for that one server component

would be cool to see though!

yeah you could use react-query/swr with server action to fetch the data on a interval

so maybe the server component can provide the initial data, then just call the server action in the client component

yep that would work

thanks for the help Ray

you're welcome
