Action Hooks

React hooks for executing Ductape Actions - pre-built integrations with external services.

useAction

Execute any Ductape action with automatic loading states and error handling.

Basic Action Execution

import { useAction } from '@ductape/react';

function CreateStripeCustomer() {
  const { mutate, isLoading, error, data } = useAction({
    onSuccess: (result) => {
      console.log('Customer created:', result);
      alert('Customer created successfully!');
    }
  });

  const handleCreate = () => {
    mutate({
      action: 'stripe.create-customer',
      input: {
        email: 'customer@example.com',
        name: 'John Doe',
        metadata: {
          userId: 'user-123'
        }
      }
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleCreate} disabled={isLoading}>
        {isLoading ? 'Creating...' : 'Create Customer'}
      </button>
      {error && <p className="error">{error.message}</p>}
      {data && <p>Customer ID: {data.customerId}</p>}
    </div>
  );
}

Action with Parameters

function PaystackPaymentForm() {
  const [amount, setAmount] = useState('');
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
  const [currency, setCurrency] = useState('NGN');

  const { mutate: initializePayment, isLoading, data } = useAction({
    onSuccess: (result) => {
      console.log('Payment initialized:', result);
      // Redirect to payment page
      window.location.href = result.authorization_url;
    }
  });

  const handleSubmit = (e: React.FormEvent) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    initializePayment({
      action: 'paystack.initialize-transaction',
      input: {
        email,
        amount: parseFloat(amount) * 100, // Convert to kobo/cents
        currency,
        callback_url: window.location.origin + '/payment/callback'
      }
    });
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input
        type="email"
        value={email}
        onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Email"
        required
      />
      <input
        type="number"
        value={amount}
        onChange={(e) => setAmount(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Amount"
        required
      />
      <select value={currency} onChange={(e) => setCurrency(e.target.value)}>
        <option value="NGN">NGN</option>
        <option value="USD">USD</option>
        <option value="GHS">GHS</option>
      </select>
      <button type="submit" disabled={isLoading}>
        {isLoading ? 'Processing...' : 'Pay with Paystack'}
      </button>
    </form>
  );
}

useActionQuery

Query data from an action (for read operations).

import { useActionQuery } from '@ductape/react';

function PaystackTransactions() {
  const { data, isLoading, error } = useActionQuery(
    'paystack-transactions',
    {
      action: 'paystack.list-transactions',
      input: {
        perPage: 50,
        status: 'success'
      }
    }
  );

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading transactions...</div>;
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;

  return (
    <ul>
      {data?.transactions.map((transaction: any) => (
        <li key={transaction.id}>
          <span>{transaction.customer.email}</span>
          <span>{transaction.currency} {transaction.amount / 100}</span>
          <span>{new Date(transaction.created_at).toLocaleDateString()}</span>
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
}

Query with Filters

function StripeCustomers() {
  const [limit, setLimit] = useState(10);

  const { data, isLoading } = useActionQuery(
    ['stripe-customers', limit],
    {
      action: 'stripe.list-customers',
      input: {
        limit
      }
    }
  );

  return (
    <div>
      <select value={limit} onChange={(e) => setLimit(Number(e.target.value))}>
        <option value={10}>10</option>
        <option value={25}>25</option>
        <option value={50}>50</option>
        <option value={100}>100</option>
      </select>

      {isLoading ? (
        <div>Loading...</div>
      ) : (
        <table>
          <thead>
            <tr>
              <th>Name</th>
              <th>Email</th>
              <th>Created</th>
            </tr>
          </thead>
          <tbody>
            {data?.data.map((customer: any) => (
              <tr key={customer.id}>
                <td>{customer.name}</td>
                <td>{customer.email}</td>
                <td>{new Date(customer.created * 1000).toLocaleDateString()}</td>
              </tr>
            ))}
          </tbody>
        </table>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

    }
  });

  const handlePayment = () => {
    createPayment({
      action: 'stripe.create-payment-intent',
      input: {
        amount: amount * 100, // Convert to cents
        currency: 'usd',
        customer: customerId,
        automatic_payment_methods: {

Action Chaining

Execute multiple actions in sequence.

function PaymentProcessor({ email, amount }: { email: string; amount: number }) {
  const { mutate: createCustomer } = useAction();
  const { mutate: createPayment } = useAction();
  const { mutate: sendReceipt } = useAction();

  const processPayment = async () => {
    try {
      // Create or retrieve Stripe customer
      const customer = await createCustomer({
        action: 'stripe.create-customer',
        input: {
          email,
          metadata: { source: 'web-checkout' }
        }
      });

      // Create payment intent
      const payment = await createPayment({
        action: 'stripe.create-payment-intent',
        input: {
          amount: amount * 100, // Convert to cents
          currency: 'usd',
          customer: customer.id,
          automatic_payment_methods: { enabled: true }
        }
      });

      // Send receipt via notification
      await sendReceipt({
        action: 'ductape.send-notification',
        input: {
          channel: 'email',
          to: email,
          template: 'payment-receipt',
          data: {
            amount,
            paymentId: payment.id,
            customerName: email
          }
        }
      });

      alert('Payment processed successfully!');
      return payment;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Payment processing failed:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  };

  return (
    <button onClick={processPayment}>
      Process Payment
    </button>
  );
}

Paystack Payment Flow with Verification

function PaystackPaymentFlow({ email, amount }: { email: string; amount: number }) {
  const [reference, setReference] = useState<string | null>(null);
  const { mutate: initialize } = useAction();
  const { mutate: verify } = useAction();

  const startPayment = async () => {
    try {
      // Initialize transaction
      const transaction = await initialize({
        action: 'paystack.initialize-transaction',
        input: {
          email,
          amount: amount * 100, // Convert to kobo
          currency: 'NGN',
          callback_url: window.location.origin + '/verify'
        }
      });

      setReference(transaction.data.reference);

      // Redirect to Paystack payment page
      window.location.href = transaction.data.authorization_url;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Payment initialization failed:', error);
    }
  };

  const verifyPayment = async (ref: string) => {
    try {
      const verification = await verify({
        action: 'paystack.verify-transaction',
        input: { reference: ref }
      });

      if (verification.data.status === 'success') {
        alert('Payment verified successfully!');
      } else {
        alert('Payment verification failed');
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Verification failed:', error);
    }
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={startPayment}>
        Pay with Paystack
      </button>
      {reference && (
        <button onClick={() => verifyPayment(reference)}>
          Verify Payment
        </button>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Error Handling

function ResilientActionExecution() {
  const { mutate, isLoading, error, retry } = useAction({
    onError: (err) => {
      console.error('Action failed:', err);
    },
    retryCount: 3,
    retryDelay: 1000
  });

  const handleExecute = () => {
    mutate({
      action: 'external-api.call',
      input: { data: 'test' }
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleExecute} disabled={isLoading}>
        Execute Action
      </button>
      {error && (
        <div className="error">
          <p>Error: {error.message}</p>
          <button onClick={retry}>Retry</button>
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}
