Conform action utils

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ผ Having to create an object out of formData is troublesome. We can actually call Object.fromEntries(formData) and that'll work for our simple case, but it's pretty limited and doesn't work for nested objects (which we'll get to later). So let's use Conform's utilities to update our action to parse our formData and parse it with Zod for us:
Here's the relevant part of the example from the background info we saw earlier:
import { getFieldsetConstraint, parse } from '@conform-to/zod'
import { Form } from '@remix-run/react'
import { json, redirect } from '@remix-run/node'
import { z } from 'zod'

const LoginSchema = z.object({
	email: z
		.string({ required_error: 'Email is required' })
		.email('Email is invalid'),
	password: z.string({ required_error: 'Password is required' }),
})

export async function action({ request }: ActionFunctionArgs) {
	const formData = await request.formData()
	const submission = parse(formData, {
		schema: LoginSchema,
	})

	if (submission.intent !== 'submit') {
		// the user hasn't submitted the form yet
		// this will happen if Conform is validating the form before submission
		// (like if we configure Conform to validate onBlur)
		// We'll not add this yet, we'll get to it later.
		return json({ status: 'idle', submission } as const)
	}

	if (!submission.value) {
		// there's no value because there is an error in the form
		return json({ status: 'error', submission } as const, {
			status: 400,
		})
	}

	const { email, password } = submission.value

	const isAuthenticated = await authenticate({ email, password })
	if (!isAuthenticated) {
		// set the form error:
		submission.error[''] = ['Invalid email or password']
		return json(
			{
				status: 'error',
				submission,
			} as const,
			{ status: 401 },
		)
	}

	return redirect('/dashboard')
}
Could you update our form to use this in the action? This will require a few changes in the UI as well because the errors are slightly different and we'll be passing back a submission object instead of just the errors.
๐Ÿฆ‰ I'd like you to check out what the submission object looks like in the network tab or log it to the console. Why do you suppose all that information is necessary?
