Directly use form actions

[wiesson]

It would be nice if we can borrow the action handling from Astro.

Instead of

<form action="?/update" method="post">
...
</form>

I'd like to do

<script>
import { actions } from './+page.server.ts';
</script>

<form action={actions.update} method="post">
...
</form>

The main reason is, I use forms a lot and sometimes I don't really remember the path or I have the form in multiple locations (overlays, ...), or I refactor sth and then it's a mess to get the correct path.

I also think type-safety would improve, because everything is a bit more coupled.

Importing a server file on the client is not a good idea, though SvelteKit could generate a separate file as with the types, e.g.

import { actions } from './$actions';

(Also, wrong repository.)

Oh, true.

I don't want to import the action, I'd like to have the path automatically resolved and then call it. I'll close it here and move it over to Sveltekit

I know what the intent is, which is exactly why the file containing the actual logic should not be imported.
