You can export server actions from a file

It still creates the endpoint from the same file, I need to use a different directory

how is your server action set up?

this is how server actions work:
* when you use it, its address is saved in the server
* when you call it from a page, the call will include the address in the payload in the form of a POST to the same URL
* the server calls the action based on the address

Right, in SvelteKit, for example, you can manually call a server action from a different URL... is this not possible in NextJS? This is important for revalidation purposes especially

and the above holds regardless of whether you declare the action inside. aserver component or in a separate file

sveltekit server actions are different from nextjs server actions

and what do you mean by revalidation purposes?

i already told you revalidatePath can play with this just fine

on demand isr...

the router is separate from the actions; the URL used to call the action is not important since the payload is the only thing important here

yes so revalidatePath still works fine (i say it the third time)

yes, but you can't revalidate from the same url...

you just revalidate("/any/path")? i don't understand your case here

you can't revaliate from the same path you're on... I have revalidatePath working if I call it from a different page, but not from the same page

If I create a server action on a path (say root page), it will create that action on the root page url... you can't revalidate a page from the page you're on from the server... now if I use fetch instead of a server action, no problem... but I want to use a server action... I would need to use a server action from a different url, which seems impossible in Next, hence my question here

i have an app running right now and i can confirm revaldiatePath("/the-page"), when called in /the-page, it works normally

with a server action or fetch?

server action here is from react. it's not the same action at all as the action in sveltekit. so the answer is impossible.

that was my question...

thank you

basically you can't revalidate from the path your on, which is the real problem
