SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convex teams need a scalable way to organize backend features into reusable, isolated components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Self-contained components with their own schema and functions that can be composed into larger apps.
  • Clear API boundaries enable reuse across features like storage, authentication, analytics, and notifications.
  • Quick adaptation to project architectures by wiring components in convex.config.ts.

Quick Start

Install or create a new component directory following the pattern and wire it into convex.config.ts to start using it.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize backend features into reusable Convex components?

Organize backend features by creating self-contained components with isolated data schemas and functions, then wire them into your project using convex.config.ts to ensure reusability and maintainability across your application.

What is a modular backend architecture in Convex?

A modular backend architecture in Convex separates features like storage and authentication into isolated components with defined boundaries, separate schemas, and configurable wiring to enable teams to structure, reuse, and compose large applications.

How do I wire a reusable component into my Convex project?

Wire a reusable component into your Convex project by configuring it within the convex.config.ts file, which adapts the isolated component to your specific project architecture and connects its defined API boundaries.

Can I compose multiple isolated features like storage and authentication in Convex?

Yes, you can compose multiple isolated features like storage, authentication, notifications, and analytics by structuring them as independent components and wiring them together in convex.config.ts to build larger applications.

What is the best way to isolate data and API surfaces for Convex functions?

Isolate data and API surfaces by encapsulating features into self-contained components with their own schemas and functions, establishing clear API boundaries that prevent cross-feature interference and improve maintainability.

When should I use component-based architecture for my Convex backend?

Use component-based architecture when you need a scalable way to organize backend features into reusable, isolated components, especially when building large applications that require clear API boundaries for features like storage and authentication.
