convex-best-practices

Organize Convex functions by domain (e.g., users.ts, tasks.ts) to improve readability and collaboration. This domain-based structure helps teams build robust, scalable applications by reducing bugs and maintenance overhead as the project grows.

Use TypeScript and Convex validators to ensure strict type-safety and data integrity. This validation pattern prevents invalid data from entering your database and reduces runtime errors across your application.

Apply established error handling and write-conflict strategies in Convex to minimize user-facing failures. These patterns improve reliability and ensure your application handles concurrent data modifications gracefully without breaking.

No extra dependencies are required. You only need standard TypeScript tooling and Convex documentation references to apply domain-based organization, strict type-safety, and error handling patterns immediately in your project.

Apply domain-based organization from day one to improve readability and collaboration. Grouping functions by domain (e.g., users.ts, tasks.ts) is essential when multiple developers work on the same codebase or when the app begins to scale.
