SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of designing, building, and integrating reusable Convex components, ensuring clear boundaries, isolated state, and well-defined app-facing interfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Component Scaffolding: Generates the necessary files and structure for new Convex components.
  • Boundary Enforcement: Guides the developer in separating component logic from the main application.
  • Use Case: When developing a new feature that involves complex backend logic and data management, use this Skill to encapsulate that functionality into a reusable Convex component, making your codebase more modular and maintainable.

Quick Start

Use the convex-create-component skill to create a new local component named 'notifications'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract reusable backend logic into a Convex component?

To extract reusable backend logic into a Convex component, you can use a skill that scaffolds the necessary files and structure, enforcing clear boundaries and isolated state. This encapsulates complex data management into modular, maintainable code.

What is the best way to build modular backend code for reuse across multiple Convex applications?

The best way to build modular backend code for Convex is to package functionality into reusable components with well-defined app-facing interfaces. This approach separates component logic from the main application to ensure maintainability.

How do I enforce clear boundaries and isolated state when creating a new Convex component?

You can enforce clear boundaries and isolated state by generating a Convex component with a defined structure and app-facing wrappers. This guides the separation of component logic from your main application.

When should I package functionality into a Convex component instead of writing standard backend logic?

You should package functionality into a Convex component when developing a new feature involving complex backend logic and data management. This makes the functionality reusable across applications and your codebase more modular.

Does this component generation approach require specific dependencies or structures?

This approach utilizes a decision tree and reference files to guide the component shape and implementation. It generates the necessary files and structure for new Convex components without requiring external dependencies.
