convex-create-component

You create reusable Convex components by defining `schema.ts` for isolated tables, implementing functions from component-local generated imports, and wiring them into your app via `app.use(...)` with app-side wrappers. This isolates backend logic behind a small, explicit API.

Extracting shared backend logic in Convex is best achieved by packaging it as a component with isolated tables and a clear boundary API. You define `convex.config.ts` and `schema.ts`, then expose client-safe wrappers to keep logic reusable across applications.

Yes, Convex component architecture keeps auth and environment access in the app. Components are integrated using `app.use(...)`, and you must auth-wrap component calls from the app side to ensure safe client integration without exposing sensitive environment variables.

Yes, you can use a hybrid component shape for third-party workflow integration in Convex. Choosing local, packaged, or hybrid shapes allows you to match specific reuse and ownership needs while packaging componentized functionality with clear boundaries.

You need to define `convex.config.ts` when building any reusable Convex component. It is required alongside `schema.ts` to establish the component boundary, own storage responsibilities, and implement the production-ready workflow using Convex codegen.

Exposing client-safe wrappers for Convex component calls ensures safe app integration by keeping auth and environment access within the app. This maintains a small, explicit app-facing API and prevents backend logic from becoming tangled.
