What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides patterns and examples for building highly reactive applications using Convex's real-time data capabilities, ensuring seamless data synchronization and an efficient user experience.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time Subscriptions: Automatically update UI components when data changes using useQuery.
  • Optimistic Updates: Enhance perceived performance by showing UI changes immediately before server confirmation.
  • Cursor-Based Pagination: Efficiently load large datasets with usePaginatedQuery for smooth scrolling and data retrieval.
  • Use Case: Develop a live-updating dashboard where user tasks, profiles, and notifications are displayed and updated in real-time without manual refreshes.

Quick Start

Use the convex-realtime skill to display a list of tasks for a given user ID, ensuring the list updates automatically as tasks are added or modified.

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.
