To create isolated Convex components, generate a component skeleton under convex/components/ containing convex.config.ts, schema.ts, and lib.ts, then expose app-facing bindings to encapsulate backend logic and tables.

Packaging reusable backend logic in Convex involves extracting workflows into a modular component that owns its own tables, defining clear boundaries to prevent app logic leakage, and exposing wrappers for cross-app reuse.

Yes, a Convex component requires its own component skeleton comprising convex.config.ts, schema.ts, and lib.ts files to properly encapsulate isolated tables and backend workflows.

Separating authentication and environment access in Convex components requires defining clear boundaries between the app and the component, ensuring the component handles its own auth and env access without leaking app logic.

Yes, you can build third-party integrations that own their own Convex tables by packaging the functionality as an isolated component with dedicated schema definitions and clear app-facing boundaries.

Extract backend code into a Convex component when you need to modularize isolated tables, package functionality for reuse across multiple apps, or build integrations requiring clear separation from app logic.
