Look like you want to call a mutation

i tried to do it but got this error

taht doesn't appear to be a convex mutation. a convex mutation would be something like
api.foo.bar where you're importing api from convex/_generated/server
I'm not sure what @/lib/actions/actions issorry mate i fell asleep
oh wait
yeah
youre not importing that from convex
i totally see whats going on
you just put the mutation in the wrong location
should go somewhere in your convex folder
then you should run it with api.xxx and with useMutation inside Footer
@jamwt @v thanks for the help
I knew that i had to put the code in convex folder i was just curious if it will work with actions or is there any method
Hi there...not really sure about this but i believe its possible to run it in an action with the "fetchMutation" function from convex/nextjs. you simply call it like a regular fetch call , pass it the api reference and optionally the token if it requires authorization.
