convex-best-practices

Structure Convex functions using domain-based organization to separate internal logic from public API endpoints. This approach aligns with the Zen of Convex design philosophy to ensure scalable and maintainable backend development.

Handle validation and errors in Convex by applying strict argument and return validation, and throwing ConvexError for expected runtime failures. This ensures type-safe data flows and predictable client-side error handling.

The @convex-dev/eslint-plugin enforces Convex-specific rules during TypeScript backend development to prevent common pitfalls. Integrating it ensures code quality and adherence to established Convex function patterns.

Avoid write conflicts in Convex by applying proper concurrency control patterns within your mutations. This Skill provides guidelines for structuring queries and mutations to prevent race conditions and data inconsistencies.

Yes, you can enforce Convex best practices in an existing TypeScript project by applying these guidelines. It covers function organization, validation, and ESLint integration to refactor and align your code with production standards.
