SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the development of real-time, reactive applications by providing patterns and best practices for leveraging Convex's powerful features like subscriptions, optimistic updates, and pagination.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time Data: Automatically update UI components as data changes in the database using useQuery.
  • Optimistic Updates: Enhance user experience by showing immediate feedback for mutations before server confirmation.
  • Efficient Data Loading: Implement cursor-based pagination and infinite scrolling for handling large datasets.
  • Use Case: Building a live chat application where messages appear instantly for all users, or a task management tool where changes are reflected immediately across all connected clients.

Quick Start

Use the convex-realtime skill to implement basic subscriptions for fetching and displaying real-time data in a React component.
