FAQPage Schema
How do I structure Convex functions for a large team?

Structure Convex functions using domain-driven organization to group queries and mutations by business domain. This scalable project structure improves maintainability and team velocity in large production applications.

What is the best way to validate inputs in Convex queries?

The best way to validate Convex inputs is by implementing strict validators within your schema definitions. Standardized input and output validation ensures end-to-end type safety and improves application reliability.

Does this approach support TypeScript end-to-end type safety in Convex?

Yes, these Convex best practices enforce consistent TypeScript usage and strict schema definitions. This provides end-to-end type safety across your queries and mutations, reducing runtime errors in production.

How do I handle errors explicitly in Convex production applications?

Handle errors in Convex by implementing explicit error handling patterns within your domain functions. This practice ensures predictable failure modes and improves overall reliability for production-ready applications.

Can I use these patterns to onboard new developers to a Convex codebase?

Yes, these Convex best practices provide reusable templates and standardized guidelines specifically designed to support onboarding. They help new developers understand function organization and query patterns quickly.
