Terminology

Some terminology in the documentation is Svelte or SvelteKit-specific, but here are explanations for terms that are specific to Superactions:

Endpoint

An endpoint under the hood is a simple request handler that matches incoming requests to one of the actions you've defined inside it.

An endpoint is created using the endpoint function. You can create as many endpoints as you like, but each must be mounted on a unique route.

Action

An action is is an async function that receives a request event and a body, and returns a result. Action functions can be created anywhere, but they have to be referenced inside an endpoint for them to work on the client.

When the client calls an action, it makes a request to the endpoint where the action is referenced. The endpoint then executes the matching action and returns the result back to the client.
