To publish reusable Convex components, create a directory with a convex.config.ts file, implement your schema and functions, and export the component for consumption. This ensures clean isolation and stable dependencies across projects.

Component isolation in Convex architecture separates component schemas and data tables from host applications. This mechanism ensures clean exports, predictable behavior, and allows multiple instances to operate independently when shared across projects.

Define type-safe consumer APIs by implementing public exports and consumer hooks within your Convex component. This provides seamless integration and predictable TypeScript interfaces for applications consuming the component.

The best way to package a Convex component for npm is to structure it as a self-contained directory with a convex.config.ts file, apply clear configuration schemas, and follow documentation guidance for publishing to registries.

Yes, you can run multiple instances of a Convex component in the same project. Designing self-contained components with isolated schemas and configuration ensures each instance operates independently without dependency conflicts.

Shared Convex components conflict with host schemas when they lack proper isolation. Defining self-contained components with separate data tables and clean exports prevents these schema conflicts and stabilizes dependencies.
