convex-functions

Convex server functions require explicit validators for arguments and returns to ensure runtime correctness. You define validation schemas directly in the function definition to secure data access, mutations, and actions against invalid inputs.

Convex queries handle read-only data access, mutations manage state writes, and actions execute business logic or external API calls. HTTP actions specifically expose webhooks and HTTP endpoints for external integrations.

Convex HTTP actions and internal functions require proper error handling patterns to manage runtime failures. Consistent use of internal functions for sensitive operations ensures errors are caught securely without exposing backend logic.

Yes, Convex functions require explicit validators for both arguments and returns. This enforces type safety and runtime correctness across backend services, preventing invalid data from entering or leaving your queries and mutations.

Internal functions should be used for sensitive operations and secure business logic. Separating them from public queries and mutations protects backend data access and prevents unauthorized external calls from bypassing validation.

Yes, Convex actions manage external API calls, business logic, and scheduling. They integrate with external services while maintaining robust argument validation and error handling for secure runtime execution.
