FAQPage Schema
How do I add Convex to an existing frontend application?▼

To add Convex to an existing frontend, install the necessary packages, wire the ConvexProvider with your deployment URL, configure environment variables, and run npx convex dev to verify the setup.

Can I integrate Convex with frameworks like Next.js, Vue, or Svelte?▼

Yes, you can integrate Convex into existing React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or other frontend frameworks by wiring the ConvexProvider and configuring the required environment variables for your deployment URL.

What is the best way to scaffold a new Convex project?▼

The fastest way to scaffold a new Convex project is using the npm create convex@latest command, which allows you to select a template, configure environment variables, and start the local development loop.

Why do I need to configure environment variables for Convex?▼

You need to configure environment variables to provide the ConvexProvider with the correct deployment URL, ensuring your frontend application successfully connects to the appropriate Convex backend during local development and production.

How does the npx convex dev command work during local development?▼

Running npx convex dev starts your local development loop, which connects your frontend to the Convex backend, syncs your schema and functions, and verifies that your project setup is working correctly.

Do I need to start from scratch to use Convex?▼
