SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Build real-time, reactive frontends that automatically subscribe to live data, cache results, and coordinate optimistic updates with consistent views.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic subscriptions with useQuery for live data.
  • Smart caching and synchronized UI state across components.
  • Optimistic updates and cursor-based pagination for scalable dashboards.

Quick Start

Integrate Convex Realtime into a React project by wiring useQuery and useMutation to data sources and enabling real-time updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build real-time React apps with live data subscriptions?

To build real-time React apps, wire useQuery to data sources for automatic live data subscriptions and useMutation for changes. This manages caching and optimistic updates to synchronize UI state across components.

What's the best way to handle optimistic updates and multi-component synchronization in React?

Handling optimistic updates and multi-component synchronization requires a reactive frontend architecture that coordinates useMutation calls with cached query results, ensuring consistent views across multiple React components during live data updates.

How does cursor-based pagination work for scalable real-time dashboards?

Cursor-based pagination for scalable real-time dashboards works by managing subscription states and caching query results incrementally. This pattern handles large datasets in chats or task lists by loading subsequent pages based on the last retrieved cursor position, maintaining live data streams.

Can I use Convex for automatic re-subscription and conflict resolution in React?

Yes, you can use Convex for automatic re-subscription and conflict resolution in React. It integrates useQuery and useMutation to manage live data streams, automatically re-subscribing components and resolving conflicts to maintain consistent frontend state.

When do I need real-time data subscriptions instead of standard API fetching?

You need real-time data subscriptions instead of standard fetching when building UIs requiring live data streams, such as chats, task lists, or dashboards. These use cases demand multi-component synchronization and automatic re-subscription to reflect updates instantly.

Why does my React UI show inconsistent state during live data updates?

React UI shows inconsistent state during live data updates when lacking synchronized caching and optimistic updates. Integrating useQuery for automatic subscriptions and useMutation ensures multi-component synchronization and proper conflict resolution across the reactive frontend.
