SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convex Realtime makes it easy to build reactive React apps that stay in sync with the backend in real time, with automatic subscriptions and safe optimistic updates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic real-time subscriptions: useQuery keeps data in sync across components.
  • Smart caching and consistency: shared, up-to-date views with minimized network requests.
  • Cursor-based pagination and scalable data loading for large datasets.
  • Multiple concurrent subscriptions and mutations with automatic re-rendering.
  • Practical use cases include live dashboards, collaborative apps, and real-time task lists.

Quick Start

Install the Convex client, initialize your project, and start using useQuery and useMutation in your React components to enable real-time data.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add real-time data synchronization to my React app?

To add real-time data synchronization in React, use Convex subscriptions via the useQuery hook to automatically keep component state in sync with the backend. This approach handles shared views and minimizes network requests.

What is the best way to handle optimistic UI updates in a real-time React application?

The best way to handle optimistic UI updates in a real-time React application is using Convex client libraries with useMutation. This provides safe optimistic feedback while the backend processes concurrent mutations and re-renders automatically.

How does cursor-based pagination work with real-time subscriptions?

Cursor-based pagination with real-time subscriptions enables scalable data loading for large datasets. It manages multiple concurrent subscriptions to load data incrementally while maintaining automatic updates and UI consistency across components.

Can I build collaborative workspaces and live dashboards using Convex with React?

Yes, you can build collaborative workspaces and live dashboards using Convex with React. The useQuery hook enables instant data synchronization across components, making it suitable for real-time task lists and live feeds.

Do I need to manually manage caching for React components using Convex?

No, you do not need to manually manage caching. Convex handles smart caching and consistency automatically, ensuring shared views remain up-to-date across components while minimizing unnecessary network requests.
