FAQPage Schema
How do I define and enforce a Convex database schema with strong typing?

To define a Convex database schema, use the defineSchema and defineTable DSL to establish strong typing, configure indices, and set optional fields for data integrity. This ensures your application maintains structured data models.

What is the best way to handle schema migrations in Convex when evolving data models?

Handling schema migrations in Convex involves applying built-in migration strategies to evolve data models safely. This includes updating table definitions and indices while maintaining data integrity across versions.

Can I configure indexes and optional fields when defining Convex tables?

Yes, you can configure indexes and optional fields when defining Convex tables. The schema DSL supports index configurations and optional fields to optimize queries and handle flexible data structures within typed schemas.

Does Convex schema validation support union types for TypeScript?

Convex schema validation supports union types for TypeScript. You can define schemas with unions to allow multiple data shapes within a single table field, ensuring flexible yet strongly typed data models.

How do I validate relationships between tables in a Convex schema?

To validate relationships between tables in a Convex schema, use typed schema definitions to enforce data structure. This ensures referential integrity by typing relationship fields correctly across database tables.
