FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Convex backend for a new project?

Setting up a Convex backend requires initializing a new project with a suitable template, configuring the deployment URL, and wiring the framework-specific provider. This process guides project scaffolding and verifies generated backend files.

How do I integrate Convex into an existing Next.js or React app?

Integrating Convex into an existing React or Next.js app requires configuring environment variables and wrapping the application with ConvexProvider. This connects the frontend to the backend and verifies the deployment connection.

Can I use Convex with frontend frameworks other than React?

Yes, Convex supports frontend integration with React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and React Native applications. Provider configuration and environment setup workflows apply across these different framework-based apps.

What is the development workflow for a first-time Convex setup?

The first-time Convex development workflow involves establishing a local development loop, creating database schemas, and verifying queries and mutations. This ensures the backend deployment connection works correctly.

Do I need to configure environment variables to connect my frontend to Convex?

Yes, configuring environment variables with the deployment URL is required to connect frontend applications to Convex. This setup provides the necessary connection details for the ConvexProvider.

Why verify generated backend files after initializing a Convex project?

Verifying generated backend files after initializing a Convex project confirms that the deployment connection and provider configuration are working. This validation ensures queries and mutations operate correctly.
