SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardizes and streamlines Convex development by codifying best practices for function organization, input validation, and TypeScript usage, helping teams ship reliable apps faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain-driven function organization with clear module boundaries and per-domain files
  • Enforced argument and return validators to ensure data correctness and safety
  • Clear guidance on error handling, testing, and performance considerations for scalable Convex apps

Quick Start

Create a new Convex project and apply the best-practices pattern templates to organize functions, add validators, and enable TypeScript usage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize Convex functions for a production app?

Use domain-driven Convex function organization with clear module boundaries and per-domain files to structure production apps. This pattern separates logic into manageable modules, making functions easier to maintain and scale across teams.

Why do I need explicit return validators in Convex?

Explicit return validators in Convex ensure data correctness and runtime safety by strictly checking outgoing data. Enforcing both argument and return validators prevents invalid data from reaching your frontend application.

Can I use ESLint to enforce Convex best practices?

Yes, you can integrate an ESLint plugin to enforce Convex best practices using recommended configs. This setup automatically checks function structuring, validation rules, and TypeScript usage across your project codebase.

What's the best way to handle errors and validation in TypeScript with Convex?

The best way to handle errors and validation in TypeScript Convex apps is codifying standardized patterns for function organization. This approach provides clear guidance on error handling, testing, and performance considerations for scalable applications.

Does standardizing Convex function structure improve database performance?

Standardizing Convex function structure improves performance by enforcing recommended index usage and domain-driven structuring. Following these patterns ensures queries are optimized and data fetching remains efficient at scale.
