To build and publish reusable Convex components, scaffold self-contained modules with isolated tables, exported functions, and defined schemas. Package them with proper dependency management and optional frontend hooks, then publish to your package registry for cross-project sharing.

The best way to isolate database tables is by scaffolding self-contained Convex components that manage their own isolated tables. This prevents schema conflicts and ensures the component operates independently without interfering with the host application's existing data structures.

Yes, you can include optional frontend hooks when packaging a Convex component. The authoring process provides guidance on integrating these hooks alongside your schema and exported functions, enabling seamless client-side integration when the component is reused.

Manage TypeScript types and exports by defining them explicitly within the self-contained component scaffold. The publishing workflow emphasizes type safety, ensuring that exported functions and configuration types are correctly exposed to consuming Convex applications.

Yes, writing documentation is required when publishing a Convex component. The authoring process emphasizes comprehensive documentation alongside proper packaging and dependency management to ensure other developers can successfully implement your component.
