Convert formData in server actions

[yassir78]

Goals

Hello everyone, i'm working on a project where i have to send data to a server action. Since i'm using formData in the server action all the data i get is a string so when i use zod the validation doesn't work. Is there any clean way to do it, so i can convert without doing it in the action for each field which is not clean :)

`export async function addCoin(prevState: FormState, data: FormData): Promise {
// await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 3000));

const formData = Object.fromEntries(data);
const parsed = addCoinSchema.safeParse(formData);
if (!parsed.success) {
const fields = Object.fromEntries(
parsed.error.issues.map(issue => {
const key = issue.path[0];
const message = issue.message;
return [key, String(message ?? '')];
})
);
return {
message: 'Invalid form',
fields,
};
}
// call backend for processing
return { message: 'Form submitted successfuly' };
}`

Non-Goals

Background

Actually i'm struggling to find a solution.
