SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexity of building real-time, responsive applications by providing patterns and best practices for managing data flow, updates, and user interactions efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time Subscriptions: Automatically update UI when data changes using useQuery.
  • Optimistic Updates: Enhance perceived performance by showing immediate UI feedback for mutations.
  • Cursor-Based Pagination: Efficiently load large datasets with usePaginatedQuery for infinite scrolling or paginated views.
  • Use Case: Develop a live-updating chat application where messages appear instantly for all users, or a dashboard that reflects the latest metrics without manual refreshes.

Quick Start

Use the convex-realtime skill to create a basic subscription for fetching tasks associated with a specific user ID.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-realtime

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a real-time app with automatic data subscriptions in Convex?▼

Real-time apps in Convex use the useQuery hook to automatically subscribe to data changes. The UI updates instantly whenever the underlying database changes, removing the need for manual refreshes or polling mechanisms.

What is the best way to handle large datasets with cursor-based pagination in Convex?▼

Cursor-based pagination in Convex is handled using the usePaginatedQuery hook. It efficiently loads large datasets by fetching data in chunks, which is ideal for implementing infinite scrolling or paginated views without overloading the client.

Can I implement optimistic UI updates for mutations in Convex?▼

Yes, Convex supports optimistic updates for mutations. This pattern enhances perceived performance by showing immediate UI feedback before the server confirms the mutation, ensuring a responsive user experience during data writes.

How does Convex manage cache behavior for real-time subscriptions?▼

Convex manages cache behavior by maintaining active subscription states that automatically synchronize with server data. This ensures consistent data flow and updates the UI immediately when changes occur without manual cache invalidation.

Do I need to manually refresh a live dashboard built with Convex subscriptions?▼

No, a live dashboard built with Convex subscriptions does not need manual refreshes. By leveraging useQuery, the dashboard automatically reflects the latest metrics and data changes in real-time as they happen.
