Actions Generator

Creates server actions file with CRUD operations for an existing model.

Usage

brizzle actions <name>

Example

brizzle actions user

Generates app/users/actions.ts:

"use server";

import { db } from "@/db";
import { users } from "@/db/schema";
import { eq, desc } from "drizzle-orm";
import { revalidatePath } from "next/cache";

export type User = typeof users.$inferSelect;
export type NewUser = typeof users.$inferInsert;

export async function getUsers() {
  return db.select().from(users).orderBy(desc(users.createdAt));
}

export async function getUser(id: number) {
  const result = await db
    .select()
    .from(users)
    .where(eq(users.id, id))
    .limit(1);
  return result[0] ?? null;
}

export async function createUser(data: Omit<NewUser, "id" | "createdAt" | "updatedAt">) {
  const result = await db.insert(users).values(data).returning();
  revalidatePath("/users");
  return result[0];
}

export async function updateUser(
  id: number,
  data: Partial<Omit<NewUser, "id" | "createdAt" | "updatedAt">>
) {
  const result = await db
    .update(users)
    .set({ ...data, updatedAt: new Date() })
    .where(eq(users.id, id))
    .returning();
  revalidatePath("/users");
  return result[0];
}

export async function deleteUser(id: number) {
  await db.delete(users).where(eq(users.id, id));
  revalidatePath("/users");
}

When to Use

Use the actions generator when:

• You already have a model in your schema
• You want just the server actions without UI pages
• You're building a headless API or custom UI
