A reusable Convex component requires a convex.config.ts file, a schema.ts defining isolated tables, and a lib.ts library of component functions. You then wire it into your app using app.use(...) alongside standard codegen workflows for iterative development.

The best way to extract backend logic into a standalone Convex component is to scaffold a local component with isolated tables and clear boundaries, define a public app-facing API wrapper, and integrate it via app.use(...) to maintain separation from your main application logic.

The app.use(...) method integrates a scaffolded Convex component into your application by connecting its isolated tables and public app-facing API wrappers, enabling the development server to generate component-bound code for iterative development.

You need to define isolated tables in a Convex component schema when building a new component within an app or packaging components for reuse across projects, as this enforces boundary discipline and prevents data conflicts between the component and the main application.

Yes, you can package and share Convex components for reuse across projects by defining them with a convex.config.ts, an isolated schema, and a library of component functions, ensuring clear boundaries and app-facing wrappers are maintained during distribution.

Isolated tables in Convex components enforce strict boundary discipline by preventing direct access from the main application, meaning all data interactions must route through the component's generated server and public app-facing API wrappers rather than direct table queries.
