useFormAction

Summary

Resolves the URL to the closest route in the component hierarchy instead of the current URL of the app.

This is used internally by Form to resolve the action to the closest route, but can be used generically as well.

import { useFormAction } from "react-router";

function SomeComponent() {
  // closest route URL
  let action = useFormAction();

  // closest route URL + "destroy"
  let destroyAction = useFormAction("destroy");
}

This hook adds a basename if your app specifies one, so that it can be used with raw <form> elements in a progressively enhanced way. If you are using this to provide an action to <Form> or fetcher.submit, you will need to remove the basename since both of those will prepend it internally.
