SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires convex, convex/react, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers build reactive applications with real-time subscriptions, optimistic updates, intelligent caching, and cursor-based pagination, simplifying the creation of dynamic user interfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time Subscriptions: Automatically update components when data changes.
  • Optimistic Updates: Display changes immediately before server confirmation for better performance.
  • Smart Caching: Cache query results and share them across components.
  • Cursor-based Pagination: Efficiently load and display large datasets with cursor-based pagination.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill to create a real-time chat application that loads messages as the user scrolls, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience.

Quick Start

Start by setting up a Convex Realtime query and use the useQuery hook to automatically subscribe to updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-realtime

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement real-time subscriptions in a reactive application?

Real-time subscriptions automatically update components when data changes. You can implement them by setting up a Convex realtime query and using the useQuery hook to automatically subscribe to updates.

What's the best way to handle optimistic updates for better UI performance?

Optimistic updates display changes immediately before server confirmation. This approach provides better performance by showing UI updates instantly while the server processes the request in the background.

How does cursor-based pagination work for loading large datasets efficiently?

Cursor-based pagination efficiently loads and displays large datasets by using cursors to track position. This method ensures smooth data fetching, making it ideal for applications like real-time chat that load messages as the user scrolls.

Do I need Convex to build reactive apps with real-time subscriptions?

Yes, you need Convex and related libraries like convex/react for real-time data handling and optimistic updates. These dependencies provide the foundational hooks required for reactive application functionality.

Can I use smart caching to share query results across multiple components?

Smart caching caches query results and shares them across components. This reduces redundant data fetching and ensures consistent state throughout your reactive application interface.
