SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guide helps developers implement Convex server-side logic with validated inputs, clear error handling, and maintainable structure for queries, mutations, actions, and HTTP actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Query and mutation definitions with validators and explicit return types to enforce data integrity.
  • Actions and HTTP Actions to perform external calls while preserving safety and observability.
  • Internal functions and scheduling for sensitive operations and deferred tasks.
  • Real-world use case: build a small backend (users and tasks) with validated operations and user notifications.

Quick Start

Create a small convex query with validated arguments and a simple handler to see reactive results.

Frequently Asked Questions about convex-functions

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate arguments in Convex queries and mutations?▼

Convex queries and mutations validate arguments by enforcing strict argument validators and explicit return types. This ensures data integrity and clear error handling before the server-side logic executes.

What is the best way to structure HTTP actions for external integrations in Convex?▼

The best way to structure HTTP actions is to enforce mandatory YAML frontmatter with name and description, preserving safety and observability while performing external calls and scheduling operations.

When do I need to use internal functions and scheduling in a Convex backend?▼

Internal functions and scheduling are needed for sensitive operations and deferred tasks within a Convex backend. They allow you to securely execute background jobs without exposing them directly to clients.

Can I build a complete backend with users and tasks using Convex functions?▼

Yes, you can build a small backend with users and tasks using Convex functions. The guide provides real-world use cases for implementing validated operations, user notifications, and data access.

How does error handling work with Convex actions and HTTP actions?▼

Error handling for Convex actions and HTTP actions works by combining strict argument validators with clear guidance on code organization, ensuring that external calls preserve safety and observability.
