To bootstrap a new Convex project, you run npm create convex@latest to select a template and start the local dev loop with npx convex dev. This scaffolds tooling and establishes a working deployment URL for immediate testing.

You can extend an existing frontend app by wiring the ConvexProvider and configuring environment variables for your deployment URLs. This integrates Convex into frameworks like React, Next.js, Vue, or Svelte without starting from scratch.

The best way to set up a local dev loop is by running npx convex dev after scaffolding your project. This initializes the local dev server and ensures a working development URL is established for immediate testing and iteration.

Yes, Convex works with Vue, Svelte, React, and Next.js stacks. The setup process applies to modern frontend stacks by scaffolding tooling, wiring providers, and configuring deployment URLs across these environments.

You need to configure environment variables for your Convex deployment URLs. Setting these variables correctly wires the ConvexProvider to establish a working development URL for immediate testing within your frontend application.

Using npm create convex@latest leverages official Convex tooling to scaffold a new project with a chosen template and setup workflow. It reduces setup friction and speeds product iteration by guiding you directly to local dev server initialization.
