This Skill provides standardized Convex development patterns to ensure consistent, secure, and maintainable code when building queries, mutations, and actions.
Use the Convex development patterns in this skill to start implementing a new protected endpoint, e.g., a mutation adding an item with proper validators and an index-based query.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Use the required function syntax with explicit validators for arguments and returns. This enforces type-safety in Convex by validating schemas and preventing runtime errors caused by invalid inputs or outputs.
Use the getCurrentUser pattern combined with hasMinRole checks. This standardizes access control for protected mutations, ensuring only authorized users execute sensitive Convex operations.
Prefer indexed queries over broad filters. Using index-based queries in Convex ensures efficient data retrieval and improves overall performance as your database scales.
Yes, declaring explicit returns validators for all Convex mutations and queries is required. This enforces type-safety and prevents anti-patterns like missing returns or ad-hoc casting.
Ad-hoc casting bypasses type-safety and leads to runtime errors. Using explicit validators and standardized patterns ensures computed fields and activity tracking remain secure and maintainable.
Yes, you can refactor existing authorization flows using the getCurrentUser pattern and role checks. This standardizes access control and ensures protected mutations follow safe Convex development patterns.
