To build reusable Convex components, you structure a standard directory layout that isolates database tables, functions, and TypeScript types. This ensures self-contained code easily integrated across multiple Convex applications.

You isolate database schemas in Convex components by defining dedicated schema definitions within the component's structure. This keeps component tables self-contained and prevents conflicts with the host application's database.

The best way to export queries and mutations from a Convex component is by explicitly defining function exports within the component configuration. This allows the host application to securely access isolated component logic.

You package a Convex component for npm distribution by configuring your package.json and tsconfig.json. This properly bundles the exported TypeScript types, functions, and schemas for reuse in other projects.

Common pitfalls when integrating Convex components include improper dependency management and failing to correctly export TypeScript types. Following standard configuration and isolation practices helps avoid these component integration issues.
