# forwardAsync

Forwards the issues of the passed validation action.

```ts
const Action = v.forwardAsync<TInput, TIssue, TPath>(action, path);
```

## Generics

- `TInput` <Property {...properties.TInput} />
- `TIssue` <Property {...properties.TIssue} />
- `TPath` <Property {...properties.TPath} />

## Parameters

- `action` <Property {...properties.action} />
- `path` <Property {...properties.path} />

### Explanation

`forwardAsync` allows you to forward the issues of the passed validation `action` via `path` to a nested field of a schema.

## Returns

- `Action` <Property {...properties.Action} />

## Examples

The following examples show how `forwardAsync` can be used.

### Allowed action schema

Schema that checks if the user is allowed to complete an action.

```ts
import { isAllowedAction, isUsernamePresent } from '~/api';

const AllowedActionSchema = v.pipeAsync(
  v.objectAsync({
    username: v.pipeAsync(
      v.string(),
      v.minLength(3),
      v.checkAsync(isUsernamePresent, 'The username is not in the database.')
    ),
    action: v.picklist(['view', 'edit', 'delete']),
  }),
  v.forwardAsync(
    v.checkAsync(
      isAllowedAction,
      'The user is not allowed to complete the action.'
    ),
    ['action']
  )
);
```
