How do I create type-safe server functions in TanStack Start?

TanStack Start server functions allow you to execute server-side logic like database queries and API calls with secrets exclusively on the server. They provide type-safe remote procedure calls to securely perform mutations without exposing code to the client.

How do I securely call database queries from TanStack Start components?

You can securely call database queries from TanStack Start components by defining server functions that execute exclusively on the server. This allows you to perform data fetching and mutations while keeping sensitive logic and secrets off the client.

Can I use createServerFn with HTTP method support and input validation?

Yes, createServerFn supports defining handlers with input validation and specific HTTP methods. This allows you to enforce type-safe data fetching and mutations while ensuring the remote procedure calls match your intended server-side logic.

What is the best way to handle type-safe RPC mutations in TanStack Start?

The best way to handle type-safe RPC mutations in TanStack Start is using server functions. They facilitate secure, callable server-side code from components or loaders, ensuring that sensitive operations like financial transactions are not exposed to the client.

Why do I need server functions for API calls with secrets in TanStack Start?

You need server functions for API calls with secrets in TanStack Start to ensure sensitive credentials remain exclusively on the server. This mechanism prevents exposing secret keys to the client while maintaining type-safe remote procedure calls.
