SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This best-practices guide helps software teams consistently build production-ready Convex applications by standardizing structure, validation, and error handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain-driven function organization and modularization for scalable Convex apps
  • Typed arguments and return values with validators, leveraging TypeScript and Convex schema patterns
  • Robust error handling, including user-facing errors and failure recovery strategies

Quick Start

Define domain boundaries, implement typed Convex functions with validators, and structure code per the Zen principles.

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 Convex functions for team development?

Implement typed arguments and return values using Convex validators and TypeScript schema patterns. This enforces runtime validation and provides compile-time type safety for queries and mutations.

What's the best way to handle errors in a Convex application?

Handle Convex errors by implementing robust user-facing error messages and structured failure recovery strategies. Standardizing error handling ensures consistent application behavior during exceptions and invalid operations.

Can I use TypeScript with Convex for runtime validation?

Yes, you can leverage TypeScript with Convex schema patterns and validators to implement typed arguments and return values. This combination provides strict runtime validation and compile-time type inference.

When do I need domain-driven function organization in Convex?

You need domain-driven function organization in Convex when building production-ready applications at scale. This pattern helps software teams consistently standardize structure, validation, and error handling across modules.

Does this guide include ESLint rules for Convex best-practices?

The guide focuses on Convex best-practices for function organization, validation, and error handling using TypeScript. It provides structured guidance with examples and recommended resources for team development.
