🐞 Patch Changes

• #11653 32be549 Thanks @florian-lefebvre! - Updates astro:env docs to reflect current developments and usage guidance

• #11658 13b912a Thanks @bholmesdev! - Fixes orThrow() type when calling an Action without an input validator.

• #11603 f31d466 Thanks @bholmesdev! - Improves user experience when render an Action result from a form POST request:

  • Removes “Confirm post resubmission?” dialog when refreshing a result.
  • Removes the ?_astroAction=NAME flag when a result is rendered.

  Also improves the DX of directing to a new route on success. Actions will now redirect to the route specified in your action string on success, and redirect back to the previous page on error. This follows the routing convention of established backend frameworks like Laravel.

  For example, say you want to redirect to a /success route when actions.signup succeeds. You can add /success to your action string like so:

  <form method="POST" action={'/success' + actions.signup}></form>

  • On success, Astro will redirect to /success.
  • On error, Astro will redirect back to the current page.

  You can retrieve the action result from either page using the Astro.getActionResult() function.

  Note on security

  This uses a temporary cookie to forward the action result to the next page. The cookie will be deleted when that page is rendered.

  ⚠ The action result is not encrypted. In general, we recommend returning minimal data from an action handler to a) avoid leaking sensitive information, and b) avoid unexpected render issues once the temporary cookie is deleted. For example, a login function may return a user’s session id to retrieve from your Astro frontmatter, rather than the entire user object.
