SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Patterns for building reactive Convex apps by orchestrating subscriptions, caching, optimistic updates, and cursor-based pagination to keep UIs consistent and fast.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time subscriptions that automatically push updates to UI components
  • Smart caching across components to avoid redundant data fetches
  • Optimistic updates to improve perceived performance
  • Cursor-based pagination for scalable data loading
  • Practical patterns for chat dashboards and collaborative tools

Quick Start

Create a minimal React module that subscribes to a list of items and renders live updates using Convex real-time APIs.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-realtime

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage real-time subscriptions and caching in a Convex React app?▼

Real-time subscriptions in a Convex React app are managed by orchestrating automatic UI updates with cross-component smart caching to prevent redundant fetches. This approach keeps interfaces fast and data consistent.

What's the best way to implement optimistic updates for live Convex dashboards?▼

Implementing optimistic updates for live Convex dashboards involves applying UI changes immediately before server confirmation to improve perceived performance. This pattern keeps collaborative tools responsive during data synchronization.

How does cursor-based pagination work with Convex real-time data?▼

Cursor-based pagination in Convex works by loading scalable data chunks sequentially while maintaining active real-time subscriptions. It includes safe handling for loading and error states to ensure consistent data views.

Can I use Convex for real-time chat applications with live UI updates?▼

Yes, Convex supports real-time chat applications by pushing automatic updates to React UI components. It coordinates subscriptions and pagination to maintain consistent live views for collaborative tools.

Why does my Convex React component show inconsistent data during live updates?▼

Inconsistent data during live updates often results from uncoordinated subscriptions and missing cross-component caching. Coordinating subscriptions with smart caching and safe error state handling resolves these sync issues.
