convex-create-component

You isolate Convex backend logic by designing reusable components with clear boundaries that encapsulate their own tables and functions. This approach establishes isolated state and provides a safe, typed API surface for client integration without cross-app coupling.

Setting up a new Convex component requires defining a convex.config.ts file and a schema.ts file. You then wire the component into your existing app and expose a safe, typed API for clients to use.

You should extract backend functions into a Convex component when you need to package functionality for reuse across multiple apps or teams. This prevents duplicated backend logic and tangled state management in large frontends.

App wrappers integrate Convex components by providing an app-facing API layer that connects encapsulated backend logic to your existing application. This ensures the component maintains clear boundaries while safely exposing its functions to clients.

The best way to package Convex backend logic for scalable use is creating well-scoped components with isolated state and a clean app-facing API. This enforces planning of component ownership and reduces cross-app coupling across teams.
