SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design Convex schemas with proper validation, indexes, and relationships to enforce data integrity and scalable queries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define schemas using defineSchema and defineTable to model entities with type-safe validators.
  • Create and enforce indexes for common query patterns and implement foreign-key relationships with id references.
  • Convert nested data structures into relational tables when migrating from denormalized models.

Quick Start

Create a new convex/schema.ts with a basic users table and a related posts table.

Frequently Asked Questions about schema-builder

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I define a Convex schema with proper validation and relationships?▼

Migrate denormalized data into relational tables by converting nested data structures into separate Convex tables, defining explicit foreign keys for relationships, and applying type-safe validators to enforce data integrity during the transition.

When do I need to add indexes to a Convex database schema?▼

You need to add indexes to a Convex database schema when you want to enforce predictable performance for common query patterns, ensuring efficient data retrieval and scalable queries across your relational tables.

How do I convert nested data structures into relational tables in Convex?▼

Convert nested data structures into relational tables by breaking them down into separate Convex tables, defining explicit foreign keys to maintain relationships, and using type-safe validators to enforce data integrity across the new schema.

Does this approach work for extending an existing convex/schema.ts file?▼

Yes, this approach works for extending an existing convex/schema.ts by allowing you to refine relationships, add new tables with type-safe validators, and implement additional index definitions to support evolving query patterns.

What is the best way to enforce data integrity in a Convex schema?▼

The best way to enforce data integrity in a Convex schema is by using type-safe validators with defineTable, establishing explicit foreign keys for relationships, and creating proper index definitions to support robust and predictable queries.
