SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the pain of messy, tightly coupled Convex backend code by enabling you to structure logic into isolated, reusable components with clear boundaries, making your backend easier to maintain, test, and share across apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multiple Component Shapes: Supports local components for single-app use, packaged components for cross-app sharing, and hybrid components for combining local and shared library logic.
  • Built-in Guardrails: Includes critical rules for handling authentication, environment variables, ID boundaries, and client-facing API wrappers to avoid common Convex component pitfalls.
  • Use Case: If you have a notifications feature that you want to reuse across multiple Convex apps, use this Skill to package it as a standalone Convex component with its own schema, functions, and app-side wrappers.

Quick Start

Use the convex-create-component skill to build a new local Convex component for your app's user notifications feature, following the provided component skeleton and wiring pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-create-component

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract reusable backend logic into isolated Convex components?▼

You can extract reusable backend logic by packaging it into isolated Convex components with dedicated schemas, functions, and client-facing wrappers. This enforces clear boundaries for authentication and environment variables, replacing tightly coupled monolithic backend code.

What is the best way to structure a Convex backend for cross-app reuse?▼

The best way to structure a Convex backend for cross-app reuse is to package functionality as standalone components. This isolates schemas and functions while providing app-facing API wrappers, allowing third-party integrations to own dedicated tables without tight coupling.

Does building a Convex component require special handling for authentication and environment variables?▼

Yes, building a Convex component requires explicit boundary handling for authentication and environment variables. You must follow official component authoring specifications and implement app-facing wrapper functions to ensure client access is managed correctly without exposing internal logic.

Can I create a local Convex component for a single app instead of a shared package?▼

Yes, you can create local Convex components for single-app use. This allows you to separate concerns and extract modular backend logic within your application, while still adhering to official Convex component authoring specifications for proper boundary handling.

Why does my tightly coupled Convex backend code cause maintenance issues?▼

Tightly coupled Convex backend code causes maintenance issues because it lacks clear boundaries, making logic hard to test and share. Structuring logic into isolated, reusable components with dedicated schemas and app-side wrappers eliminates this pain by properly separating concerns.
