SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guide helps developers implement Convex server-side logic with validated inputs, clear error handling, and maintainable structure for queries, mutations, actions, and HTTP actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Query and mutation definitions with validators and explicit return types to enforce data integrity.
  • Actions and HTTP Actions to perform external calls while preserving safety and observability.
  • Internal functions and scheduling for sensitive operations and deferred tasks.
  • Real-world use case: build a small backend (users and tasks) with validated operations and user notifications.

Quick Start

Create a small convex query with validated arguments and a simple handler to see reactive results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate arguments in Convex queries and mutations?

Convex queries and mutations validate arguments by enforcing strict argument validators and explicit return types. This ensures data integrity and clear error handling before the server-side logic executes.

What is the best way to structure HTTP actions for external integrations in Convex?

The best way to structure HTTP actions is to enforce mandatory YAML frontmatter with name and description, preserving safety and observability while performing external calls and scheduling operations.

When do I need to use internal functions and scheduling in a Convex backend?

Internal functions and scheduling are needed for sensitive operations and deferred tasks within a Convex backend. They allow you to securely execute background jobs without exposing them directly to clients.

Can I build a complete backend with users and tasks using Convex functions?

Yes, you can build a small backend with users and tasks using Convex functions. The guide provides real-world use cases for implementing validated operations, user notifications, and data access.

How does error handling work with Convex actions and HTTP actions?

Error handling for Convex actions and HTTP actions works by combining strict argument validators with clear guidance on code organization, ensuring that external calls preserve safety and observability.
