To build reusable Convex components, create a convex.config.ts file and export your component's isolated database tables, functions, and TypeScript types. This structure allows the component to be packaged and imported into multiple Convex applications without conflicts.

Self-contained Convex components are isolated units of backend logic with their own schemas and functions. You need them when you want to share modular code across multiple projects, preventing conflicts with the main application's database tables.

You can share backend logic by packaging it as a reusable Convex component. Define your data processing logic and frontend hooks in a component, then publish it as an npm package to import into both your web and mobile Convex backends.

Yes, you can publish Convex components as npm packages. By defining your component's configuration, schemas, and exports, you can package it and distribute it for other developers to easily import and use in their Convex applications.

Yes, component isolation prevents database table conflicts. Convex components define their own isolated database tables and TypeScript types, ensuring that the component's backend logic operates independently without interfering with the main application's schema.
