# action

## Specification

Action performed on the successful submit of the form.

This function is called only when the form is valid.

## Definition

```typescript
type Action = (params) => Promise<any>
```

## Parameters

| Parameter name | Type     | Description                    |
| -------------- | -------- | ------------------------------ |
| `serialized`   | `Object` | Serialized fields of the form. |
| `fields`       | `Object` | Reference to all fields.       |
| `form`         | `Object` | Form component reference.      |

{% hint style="info" %}
`action` function must always return a Promise.
{% endhint %}

## Example

### Simple example

```jsx
import React from 'react'
import { Form } from 'react-advanced-form'
import { Input } from 'react-advanced-form-addons'

export default class RegistrationForm extends React.Component {
  registerUser = ({ serialized, fields, form }) => {
    return fetch('https://back.end/user', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify(serialized),
    })
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Form action={this.registerUser}>
        <Input
          name="username"
          label="Username"
          required />
        <Input
          name="password"
          label="Password"
          required />
      </Form>
    )
  }
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
You can use [`onSerialize`](/react-advanced-form/components/form/callbacks/onserialize.md) form prop to transform the serialized fields object prior to accepting them in the `action` handler.
{% endhint %}

### Example with Redux

```jsx
import React from 'react'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import { Form } from 'react-advanced-form'
import { Input } from 'react-advanced-form-addons'
import { registerUser } from '@store/user/actions'

class RegistrationForm extends React.Component {
  registerUser = ({ serialized, fields, form }) => {
    return this.props.registerUser(serialized)
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Form action={this.registerUser}>
        <Input
          name="username"
          label="Username"
          required />
        <Input
          name="password"
          label="Password"
          required />
      </Form>
    )
  }
}

export default connect(null, { registerUser })(RegistrationForm)
```

{% hint style="info" %}
You need to use a dedicated Redux middleware for the actions to return a Promise (i.e. `redux-thunk` or `redux-saga`).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://redd.gitbook.io/react-advanced-form/components/form/props/action.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
