SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides pre-built utilities and patterns for Convex backends, reducing the need to reinvent common functionalities like data relationships, access control, and data validation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relationship Helpers: Traverse and load related data across tables efficiently.
  • Custom Functions: Implement robust data protection, authentication, and role-based access control (RBAC) for your Convex functions.
  • Filter Helper: Apply complex TypeScript filters to database queries.
  • Sessions: Track anonymous users across requests.
  • Zod Validation: Use Zod schemas for input validation.
  • Migrations: Safely run data migrations.
  • Triggers: Execute code automatically on data changes.
  • Aggregations: Compute aggregates efficiently.

Quick Start

Use the convex-helpers-guide to learn how to implement authenticated queries with user context in your Convex backend.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-helpers-guide

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement role-based access control in a Convex backend?▼

Role-based access control in a Convex backend is implemented using custom functions from the convex-helpers library to wrap queries and mutations with robust authentication and user context validation.

What is the best way to traverse data relationships across Convex tables?▼

Traversing data relationships across Convex tables is handled efficiently using relationship helpers, which automatically load and resolve related data across multiple database tables.

Can I use Zod schemas for input validation in Convex functions?▼

Zod schemas can be integrated directly into Convex functions for input validation, ensuring data integrity and type safety before queries or mutations process the incoming request data.

How do I run data migrations safely in Convex?▼

Data migrations in Convex can be executed safely using the migration utilities provided by the convex-helpers library, allowing structured and reliable updates to your backend database schema and records.

Does Convex support complex TypeScript filters for database queries?▼

Complex TypeScript filters for database queries are supported via the filter helper utility, enabling developers to apply advanced filtering logic directly within their Convex backend query functions.

How do I track anonymous users across requests in a Convex application?▼

Anonymous users are tracked across requests in a Convex application using the sessions utility, which manages session state and maintains context for unauthenticated visitors without requiring login.
