SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of defining, validating, and managing database schemas within the Convex framework, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schema Definition: Define tables, fields, and their types using Convex's schema definition language.
  • Data Validation: Enforce type constraints, optionality, and unions for robust data integrity.
  • Index Configuration: Specify single, compound, and search indexes for efficient querying.
  • Migration Strategies: Provides guidance on safely evolving schemas over time.
  • Use Case: When setting up a new Convex project, use this Skill to define your initial users and tasks tables with appropriate fields, indexes, and validation rules.

Quick Start

Define a new Convex schema with a 'users' table containing 'name' and 'email' fields.
