How do I isolate component tables from the main app?

Tables are isolated by defining them within the component's internal schema and using the defineComponent helper, preventing direct cross-references with the consuming app's tables.

Are Convex components type-safe?

Absolutely. The skill demonstrates how to export generated types and use FunctionReference to ensure the consuming app maintains full TypeScript autocomplete and validation.

Can I use multiple instances of the same component?

Yes, you can register a component multiple times in your convex.config.ts file by providing unique instance names for each usage.

What is a Convex component?

A Convex component is a self-contained package including database tables, server functions, and TypeScript types that can be shared across different Convex projects.

Does this skill help with publishing to npm?

Yes, it includes templates for package.json and tsconfig.json specifically optimized for distributing Convex components via npm.

Database Management

Develops and packages self-contained, reusable Convex backend components with isolated database tables and type-safe exports.

This skill provides comprehensive patterns and best practices for creating modular Convex components that can be shared across projects or published as npm packages. It guides developers through defining isolated schemas, setting up component-specific functions like queries and mutations, and configuring the necessary exports for seamless integration. By following these standardized structures, developers can build scalable, maintainable backend libraries that leverage Convex's architecture while maintaining strict domain isolation and robust dependency management.
