React Server Actions are an awesome way to pass data to and from your React client and server. Like all functions, they need a way to return data.

A practical guide to two React hooks for handling server actions: `useFormStatus` and `useActionState`. `useFormStatus` lets child components read the pending state of a parent form, enabling loading indicators during submission. `useActionState` captures return values from server actions to display results like validation errors back to the client. The post covers client-side usage, server action integration with Next.js, combining both hooks together, and notes that `useActionState` works even without JavaScript enabled due to native form `action` attribute behavior.
