convex-schema-validator

Convex schema validation allows you to define optional, nullable, and union fields using built-in validators. You structure table definitions explicitly to ensure type safety for application queries.

Planning indexes in Convex involves configuring single-field, compound, and search indexes that match your query patterns. Explicit index configuration ensures sorting and filtering operations run efficiently.

Safe schema migration in Convex requires introducing optional fields first, backfilling existing data, and then tightening requirements. This workflow prevents breaking development or migration operations.

Convex schemas support both search and compound indexes within the same table definition. You configure descriptive indexes based on specific query patterns and sorting needs for production records.

Adding required fields without backfilling breaks Convex migrations because existing records lack the new data. You must introduce optional fields first, backfill the data, then tighten validation rules.
