I read up on the Remix docs on action and most of information I can find on action is it uses the the form POST with button submit to trigger the action
export default function Game() {
const counter = useLoaderData();
return (
<>
<div>{counter}</div>
<div>
<Form method="post">
<button type="submit">click</button>
</Form>
</div>
</>
);
}
However, how would the action be triggered in regards to something else like... drag and drop components, where after dropping it should trigger the action post

useSubmit should do what you want.
Here's an example from the docs
import { useSubmit, useTransition } from "remix";
export async function loader() {
await getUserPreferences();
}
export async function action({ request }) {
await updatePreferences(await request.formData());
return redirect("/prefs");
}
function UserPreferences() {
const submit = useSubmit();
const transition = useTransition();
function handleChange(event) {
submit(event.currentTarget, { replace: true });
}
return (
<Form method="post" onChange={handleChange}>
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="darkMode" value="on" />{" "}
Dark Mode
</label>
{transition.state === "submitting" ? (
<p>Saving...</p>
) : null}
</Form>
);
}
