People searching “Inertia router.post” use it for every button, including forms that need errors. `router.post` is for a click that has no fields: publish, archive, log out.

> **TL;DR**

> -   router.post sends one action that has no fields.
> -   useForm is the right call when the user is typing.
> -   Do not send a logout through `router.get`.
> -   Do not add Vue Router’s `push` after `router.post`.

## The fix

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { router } from "@inertiajs/vue3";

function publish(id: number) {
  router.post(`/posts/${id}/publish`, {}, { preserveScroll: true });
}
</script>
```

The second argument is the body. An empty object is a POST with no fields. The Laravel route still has to be `post`, and the controller still checks the [policy](https://laravel-vuejs.space/laravel-vue-policies).

When the user typed a title, use `useForm` so `form.errors.title` exists. `router.post` does not give you that object. You would be reading errors off the page props by hand.

## What to avoid

> **Gotcha**
>
> Do not send a logout through `router.get`. Logout is a POST so a random page cannot log the user out with an image. Do not add Vue Router’s `push` after `router.post`. Inertia follows the redirect the controller returns.
