To create reusable Convex components for npm publishing, you scaffold an isolated package containing component-specific schemas, typed query and mutation exports, and semantic versioning conventions. This structure keeps backend features separate from the host application.

Isolating Convex table schemas involves defining component-specific validators and tables that remain separate from the main application database. This ensures the shared component's data structure does not leak into the host app.

The best way to structure a Convex component for app integration is to organize clean entry points, typed APIs, and hooks. This allows consumers to easily mount packaged backend features like a rate limiter across different applications.

Yes, you can publish a Convex component with TypeScript to npm by preparing the package metadata, build configuration, and versioning practices. The workflow requires typed query and mutation exports for a publish-ready structure.

Yes, semantic versioning is required for Convex component distribution. Applying clear packaging conventions and versioning practices ensures that consumers can safely mount and update the component across multiple applications.

Using isolated packages instead of direct schema imports prevents configuration, functions, and schemas from leaking into the host app. This approach allows backend features to be cleanly mounted multiple times without conflicts.
