What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive guide to creating, structuring, and publishing self-contained Convex components, ensuring proper isolation and dependency management for reusable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Component Definition: Learn how to define isolated database schemas, functions (queries, mutations, actions), and types within a component.
  • Publishing & Usage: Understand the steps for packaging components for distribution and how to integrate them into other Convex applications.
  • Use Case: Develop a generic authentication component that can be easily plugged into multiple Convex projects, standardizing user management across your applications.

Quick Start

Follow the provided examples to define your component's schema, functions, and exports, then configure its usage in your Convex application.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build reusable Convex components with isolated database schemas?

To build reusable Convex components, define isolated database schemas, functions, and TypeScript types within a self-contained package. This ensures proper dependency management and isolation for reusable code across multiple Convex projects.

What are Convex components and when should I use them?

Convex components are self-contained packages of isolated database schemas, queries, mutations, and actions. Use them to standardize reusable logic, such as generic authentication, across multiple consuming Convex applications.

How do I package and publish a Convex component for npm distribution?

Package a Convex component by structuring its schemas, functions, and exports according to distribution conventions. Once packaged, integrate it into consuming applications via npm to standardize logic across different projects.

Can I use TypeScript types to define functions inside a Convex component?

Yes, you can define TypeScript types alongside queries, mutations, and actions within a component. This ensures type safety and clear exports when integrating the isolated component into consuming Convex applications.

What is the best way to manage dependencies when authoring Convex components?

The best way to manage dependencies in Convex components is to keep the package self-contained. Defining isolated database schemas and internal functions prevents conflicts when integrating into consuming applications.
