To create reusable Convex components, isolate tables and functions inside `convex/components/<name>/` and install them via `app.use(...)` in `convex.config.ts`, ensuring each component owns its schema and internal functions separately from app logic.

Enforce type safety at the component boundary by defining explicit `args` and `returns` validators for every public component function, keeping type contracts clear and safe across the app-facing API.

Clients should not call component functions directly because auth and environment access must stay in the app. Create wrapper queries, mutations, or actions in the app to manage client access and security boundaries.

Wire up codegen correctly by ensuring component imports come from the component's own `./_generated/server` path, then validate the integration by running `npx convex dev` to generate and verify the required server modules.

Extract backend logic into a standalone Convex component when you need to share durable workflows or reusable backend logic, ensuring each component owns its schema, internal functions, and public API contracts independently.

Yes, Convex components are designed for integration packaging and sharing backend logic. By isolating tables and exposing a small, well-scoped app-facing API, components can be reused across different Convex projects.
