SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convex components provide a way to encapsulate backend logic, data access, and public APIs into reusable modules with clear boundaries, reducing duplication and cross-boundary coupling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define a self-contained component with its own schema and server logic, then wire it into the app with app.use(...) to expose a clean API.
  • Extract reusable backend workflows into the component to promote consistency across apps and teams.
  • Use cases include packaging Convex functionality for reuse, building third-party integrations that own their own tables, or separating concerns into isolated modules.

Quick Start

Create a new component under convex/components/<name>/, define its schema and server logic, and wire it into the app with app.use.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an isolated Convex component with its own tables and API?

Create a component skeleton under convex/components/<name>/, define its schema and server logic, then wire it into the app using app.use(...) to expose a clean, isolated API.

What is the best way to separate backend logic in Convex to reduce cross-boundary coupling?

Separating backend logic in Convex is best achieved by encapsulating data access and public APIs into self-contained components with clear boundaries, reducing duplication and cross-boundary coupling.

How do I extract reusable backend workflows into a Convex component?

Extract reusable backend workflows by defining a self-contained Convex component that owns its own schema and server logic, then wire it into the app with app.use to promote consistency.

When do I need to build a Convex component for third-party integrations?

You need a Convex component when building third-party integrations that own their own tables, packaging functionality for reuse, or separating concerns into isolated modules across architectural boundaries.

Can I expose client access when wiring a Convex component into my app?

Yes, when wiring a Convex component into your app with app.use, you can expose app wrappers to provide dedicated client access to the component's isolated backend logic and data.

Does packaging Convex functionality for reuse require dedicated component schemas?

Packaging Convex functionality for reuse requires defining a self-contained component with its own schema and server logic to ensure isolated backend logic and a dedicated app-facing API.
