FAQPage Schema
How do I build reusable Convex components for npm?

To build reusable Convex components, you author isolated database schemas and functions, define TypeScript exports, and package the module for npm integration into other Convex applications.

What are self-contained Convex components?

Self-contained Convex components are isolated modules featuring scoped database tables and functions that maintain type safety and can be packaged for seamless reuse across multiple Convex applications.

How do I isolate database tables when authoring a Convex component?

You isolate database tables by defining component-scoped schemas and functions during the authoring process, ensuring self-contained logic that does not interfere with the consuming application's schema.

Can I use TypeScript definitions to ensure type safety in Convex components?

Yes, you can ensure robust type safety in Convex components by utilizing TypeScript definitions and validators throughout your isolated component configuration and exported functions.

What is the best way to package and version Convex components for reusability?

The best way to package Convex components is to follow best practices for component configuration, usage in consuming applications, and npm versioning to ensure seamless reusability across projects.

Do I need npm to publish and consume reusable Convex components?

Yes, npm is used for packaging and publishing reusable Convex components, enabling easy integration and dependency management when adding them to consuming Convex applications.
