FAQPage Schema
How do I set up real-time subscriptions in a React app using Convex?

To implement real-time subscriptions, you integrate Convex queries within your React components. This establishes automatic, consistent updates and enables reactive data synchronization across your application ecosystem.

How do optimistic updates work with Convex and what happens on failure?

Optimistic updates in Convex allow the UI to reflect changes immediately before server confirmation. If an error occurs during the mutation, the system automatically rolls back the optimistic update to maintain data consistency.

What is the best way to implement cursor-based pagination with Convex in React?

The best way to implement cursor-based pagination in Convex is by using the usePaginatedQuery pattern. This allows multiple components to efficiently load and display paginated data with intelligent caching.

Can I share query results across multiple React components using Convex?

Yes, Convex supports smart caching that allows shared query results across multiple React components. This ensures automatic updates are distributed consistently without redundant data fetching.

Does Convex support automatic UI updates for real-time data synchronization?

Convex provides real-time data synchronization through automatic, consistent updates. By using reactive queries, your React UI automatically refreshes whenever the underlying database changes.
