SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convex Realtime simplifies building responsive, data-synced user interfaces by providing real-time subscriptions, automatic caching, and optimistic updates that keep UIs in sync with the backend.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time subscriptions: seamless live data streams across components using Convex's React client.
  • Optimistic updates: instant UI feedback while mutations are processed on the server.
  • Intelligent caching: shared, consistent views of data to minimize re-renders.
  • Cursor-based pagination: efficient navigation of large datasets with minimal network usage.
  • Use Case: build a live dashboard or chat UI where multiple components reflect the same data in real time.

Quick Start

Install the convex React client, configure the Convex provider, and start using useQuery and useMutation in your components to subscribe to data, push updates, and paginate results.

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 data subscriptions in React using Convex?▼

Real-time data subscriptions in React use the Convex provider and useQuery hook to stream live data from the backend directly into components, keeping multiple UI views synchronized automatically without manual polling.

What's the best way to handle optimistic updates for React state management with Convex?▼

Optimistic updates in Convex use the useMutation hook to instantly reflect UI changes locally while the server processes the mutation, ensuring immediate responsiveness in collaborative UIs and chat-like experiences.

Can I use cursor-based pagination with Convex real-time subscriptions?▼

Cursor-based pagination works with Convex real-time subscriptions by using built-in pagination utilities to efficiently load large datasets incrementally, minimizing network usage while maintaining live data sync.

Do I need the convex/react client to build reactive apps with live data synchronization?▼

Yes, building reactive apps with Convex requires the convex/react client to configure the Convex provider and utilize useQuery and useMutation hooks for real-time subscriptions, optimistic updates, and intelligent caching.

Why does my React dashboard need Convex caching for real-time data?▼

Convex caching provides shared, consistent views of real-time data across multiple dashboard components, minimizing unnecessary re-renders and ensuring data freshness without redundant network requests.

When should I not use Convex for real-time state management in React?▼

Convex real-time subscriptions are not ideal for applications with static data or offline-first requirements, as the architecture prioritizes live data synchronization and constant server connectivity for dashboards and collaborative UIs.
