convex-best-practices

To handle errors in Convex, use the ConvexError utility to throw custom error messages to the client. This pattern ensures predictable error handling and maintains application stability when mutations or queries fail.

The best way to validate arguments in Convex is to use the built-in validation API to define argument schemas. This enforces data types at runtime, preventing invalid data from entering your database and ensuring function reliability.

To avoid write conflicts in Convex, implement idempotent mutations and optimistic concurrency control. These strategies ensure that concurrent database writes do not conflict, maintaining data integrity in production environments.

Yes, you can enforce Convex best practices at build time by integrating the provided ESLint plugin. This automatically validates code quality and function organization during development, catching potential issues before deployment.

TypeScript integration with Convex provides end-to-end type safety for your queries and mutations. By following recommended patterns, you ensure that your database schema, function arguments, and return types are strictly typed and validated.
