convex-quickstart

Get a production-ready Convex backend set up in minutes. This skill guides you through initializing Convex, creating your schema, setting up auth, and building your first CRUD operations. Before starting, verify: This command: Create convex/schema.ts : We'll use WorkOS AuthKit, which provides a complete auth solution with minimal setup. Alternative auth providers: If you need to use a different provider (Clerk, Auth0, custom JWT), see the Convex auth documentation . Create convex/lib/auth.ts : Create convex/users.ts : Create convex/tasks.ts : For Development (use this!): For Production Deployment: Important: Always use npx convex dev during development. Only use npx convex deploy when you're ready to ship to production. After quickstart: - Starting a brand new project with Convex - Adding Convex to an existing React/Next.js app - Prototyping a new feature with real-time data - Converting from another backend to Convex - Teaching someone Convex for the first time - Creates convex/ directory - Sets up authentication - Starts development server - Generates TypeScript types - Add more tables to schema - Implement relationships between tables - Add file storage (Convex supports file uploads) - Set up vector search for AI features - Add cron jobs for scheduled tasks - Configure production environment variables - Ensure auth provider is configured - Call storeUser mutation on first...
