//! # Leptos Server Functions
//!
//! This package is based on a simple idea: sometimes it’s useful to write functions
//! that will only run on the server, and call them from the client.
//!
//! If you’re creating anything beyond a toy app, you’ll need to do this all the time:
//! reading from or writing to a database that only runs on the server, running expensive
//! computations using libraries you don’t want to ship down to the client, accessing
//! APIs that need to be called from the server rather than the client for CORS reasons
//! or because you need a secret API key that’s stored on the server and definitely
//! shouldn’t be shipped down to a user’s browser.
//!
//! Traditionally, this is done by separating your server and client code, and by setting
//! up something like a REST API or GraphQL API to allow your client to fetch and mutate
//! data on the server. This is fine, but it requires you to write and maintain your code
//! in multiple separate places (client-side code for fetching, server-side functions to run),
//! as well as creating a third thing to manage, which is the API contract between the two.
//!
//! This package provides two simple primitives that allow you instead to write co-located,
//! isomorphic server functions. (*Co-located* means you can write them in your app code so
//! that they are “located alongside” the client code that calls them, rather than separating
//! the client and server sides. *Isomorphic* means you can call them from the client as if
//! you were simply calling a function; the function call has the “same shape” on the client
//! as it does on the server.)
//!
//! ### `#[server]`
//!
//! The `#[server]` macro allows you to annotate a function to indicate that it should only run
//! on the server (i.e., when you have an `ssr` feature in your crate that is enabled).
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! #[server(ReadFromDB)]
//! async fn read_posts(how_many: usize, query: String) -> Result<Vec<Posts>, ServerFnError> {
//! // do some server-only work here to access the database
//! let posts = ...;
//! Ok(posts)
//! }
//!
//! // call the function
//! spawn_local(async {
//! let posts = read_posts(3, "my search".to_string()).await;
//! log::debug!("posts = {posts{:#?}");
//! })
//! ```
//!
//! If you call this function from the client, it will serialize the function arguments and `POST`
//! them to the server as if they were the inputs in `<form method="POST">`.
//!
//! Here’s what you need to remember:
//! - **Server functions must be `async`.** Even if the work being done inside the function body
//! can run synchronously on the server, from the client’s perspective it involves an asynchronous
//! function call.
//! - **Server functions must return `Result<T, ServerFnError>`.** Even if the work being done
//! inside the function body can’t fail, the processes of serialization/deserialization and the
//! network call are fallible.
//! - **Server function arguments and return types must be [Serializable](leptos_reactive::Serializable).**
//! This should be fairly obvious: we have to serialize arguments to send them to the server, and we
//! need to deserialize the result to return it to the client.
