formAction creator vs Action Creator

[tyteen4a03]

Are there any guidance on when each one should be used?

Hey.

Short answer is that the formAction builder is preferred.

The reasons for it:

• handles input parsing with a schema
• handles error separately with the .error() method
• enables you to reuse code with middleware (.use()) method

the createFormAction has only one benefit, that it will enable you to have standardized responses for the success, error, and invalid cases. This way you don't have to invent your own, which will keep your codebase clean.

The formAction uses the createFormAction internally.
