FAQPage Schema

How do I build a real-time reactive app with Convex?▼

To build a real-time reactive app with Convex, use client-side hooks like `useQuery` for subscriptions and server-side mutations to automatically update UI components when data changes.

What is the best way to implement optimistic updates in a Convex application?▼

Optimistic updates in a Convex application enhance perceived performance by showing UI changes immediately before server confirmation, ensuring a responsive user experience during data synchronization.

How does cursor-based pagination work for large datasets in Convex?▼

Cursor-based pagination in Convex uses the `usePaginatedQuery` hook to efficiently load large datasets, enabling smooth scrolling and dynamic data retrieval without fetching entire tables.

Can I use Convex subscriptions for a live-updating dashboard?▼

Yes, Convex subscriptions are ideal for a live-updating dashboard, allowing user tasks, profiles, and notifications to display and update in real-time without requiring manual refreshes.

Do I need client-side hooks and server-side functions for Convex real-time data handling?▼

Yes, dynamic data handling in Convex requires integration with both client-side hooks for reactive queries and server-side query/mutation functions to facilitate efficient synchronization.
