SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create and manage reusable Convex components with clear boundaries and isolated state, so teams can ship consistent backend logic and UI wrappers without leaking app-level concerns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines a local component with its own schema, server logic, and app-facing wrappers, enabling reuse across apps.
  • Supports extraction of reusable backend workflows and encapsulated state while keeping authentication and environment access within the host app.
  • Provides a guided workflow that generates the component skeleton, wires it into the app, and enforces cross-boundary data handling.

Quick Start

Run the convex tooling to scaffold the component, generate its server code, and wire it into the app with app.use(...) before starting the dev server.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create reusable Convex components with isolated state in a monorepo?▼

Reusable Convex components encapsulate backend workflows and isolated state within a structured skeleton, exposing an app-facing API while keeping authentication and environment access within the host app to prevent leaking app-level concerns.

What is the best way to extract backend logic into a reusable Convex component?▼

Extract backend logic by generating a structured component skeleton that defines an app-facing API, isolates state, handles cross-boundary data safely, and wires into the host application using app.use(...) before starting the dev server.

Can I use Convex components to share functionality across multiple apps?▼

Yes, you can package functionality for reuse across apps by defining a local component with its own schema, isolated state, and app-facing wrappers, ensuring consistent backend logic without leaking app-level concerns.

Does a Convex component handle authentication and environment access itself?▼

No, a Convex component keeps authentication and environment access within the host app. The component itself focuses on encapsulated state, its own schema, and app-facing API wrappers to maintain clear boundaries.

When should I not use a local component for backend logic in a Convex web app?▼

Avoid using a local component if your backend logic requires direct access to host app authentication or environment variables, as the component boundary isolates state and explicitly keeps those concerns within the host app.
