SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guide helps engineering teams standardize Convex development by enforcing best-practice patterns for function organization, validation, TypeScript usage, error handling, and design philosophy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain-driven function organization by module (e.g., users.ts, tasks.ts) to improve maintainability and collaboration.
  • Strict argument and return validators, consistent error handling, and TS typings to reduce runtime errors and improve DX.
  • Use-case guidance for scalable Convex apps, including documentation alignment and code organization patterns.

Quick Start

Apply these patterns to refactor your Convex project into domain-based modules with typed schemas and validated functions.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-best-practices

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a Convex project for maintainability?

Organize Convex projects by grouping functions into domain-scoped modules like users.ts and tasks.ts. This domain-driven function organization improves maintainability and team collaboration across your codebase.

How do I enforce strict argument validation in Convex functions?

Apply explicit argument and return validators to your Convex functions. This strict validation practice reduces runtime errors and improves developer experience through reliable TypeScript typings.

What is the best way to handle errors across Convex surfaces?

Implement consistent error handling guidelines across all Convex function surfaces. This robust approach standardizes failure management and ensures reliable execution in production-grade applications.

Do I need TypeScript for production-ready Convex apps?

Yes, TypeScript is required for production-ready Convex apps to enforce strict typings and reduce runtime errors. Consistent TypeScript usage is a core best practice for robust domain-driven Convex development.

When should I refactor my Convex codebase into domain modules?

Refactor your Convex codebase into domain modules when you need to improve maintainability and collaboration for scalable apps. This pattern aligns your code organization with the domain-driven design philosophy.
