Hey all finally trying out Convex here
Hey all, finally trying out Convex here on a react native app that I'm moving toward launch. I've been on urql + graphql-codegen + Hasura + Neon/Heroku for a while now and it's really hitting me how much effort it's going to take to get to production, and then to maintain from there. The app is pretty reactive, fair amount of subscriptions, and a number of load bearing postgresql triggers. I have an "ephemeral staging" setup in CI that works really well. And Convex seems like it's at a place where it may be able to replace all of that. Here's hoping!
My main question is, based on that short description, can you think of any blockers that I may run into?
And finally a more specific question: your react native/expo quickstart says to install react-dom - guessing that's a typo, but just wanted to confirm....
Dark mode beta
We're shipping dark mode for the Convex dashboard soon! React to this message if you'd like early access and I'll reach out when it's available
I was looking to get started with Convex
I was looking to get started with Convex to have realtime feeds on our app. I see in the pricing that the free plan says it includes "5,000,000 Monthly function calls". Does that mean 5,000,000 concurrent connections? I have not see it worded as monthly function calls so trying to see how many concurrent connections the plans offer.

Diff between Materialize and Convex
https://stack.convex.dev/infra-roundtable I was watching this video, quite amazing. Just curious, how do you guys compare convex to products that are branded as streaming databases such as materialize, or risingwave. I am more curious from the technical perspective because I know the use cases differ a lot.
Jwt claim fields passthrough
Can I get access to fields that are in jwt claim (for example, I want to pass
org_id to the clerk generated jwt token) but not in interface UserIdentity (as in openai)?end to end typing
Does convex support generating types for input / output of the cloud function that can be directly plugged in react/typescript?
Schema types: is loose really ok?
Regarding this page on dynamic schemas: https://docs.convex.dev/database/advanced/schema-philosophy
Let's say I have a table called
variables with fields name, type, and value, and each entry can either be an integer, string, or boolean. Is there any downside to just storing the value field with different types? For example:
{ name: "foo", type: "int", value: 1234 }...Custom Auth (for ATprotocol)
hihi! trying to implement a custom auth provider, and for some reason isAuthenticated is false even tho in my
useAuthFromProviderX function (and my auth provider) it's true
noticed this in the Clerk & Auth0 doc pages but not the Custom auth provider page - do I potentially need to add something to convex.json?
Debugging authentication If a user goes through the Auth0 login flow successfully, and after being redirected back to your page useConvexAuth gives isAuthenticated: false, it's possible that your backend isn't correctly configured....
ConvexProvider auth hook
An idea, maybe <ConvexProviderWithClerk /> could take an optional function as a prop that defines how to copy Clerk data into Convex? Kind of like folding my useStoreUser() hook into <ConvexProviderWithClerk />. Oh well, just an idea.
Just upgraded to 0 13 super excited to
Just upgraded to 0.13 - super excited to have named instead of positional arguments for my functions. Makes it a lot cleaner to augment my functions with additional parameters, like session/auth stuff
Migrating to 0.13.0
Hey folks, if you are updating your apps to 0.13.0, reach out if you hit any snags or want help understanding any of the changes. I'll open this as a thread. Hopefully it's smooth sailing ⛵️
Authorization header in HTTP endpoints
We are using Convex for the backend, and we are exposing a couple of http endpoints. We need to be able to support sending the Authorization header (in the format of
Authorization: Bearer <api token>) to our backend. We did not have any success with sending/extracting the <api token> header in our backend. Please see the below code snippet; the authHeader is null.
```
const myEndpoint = httpEndpoint(async ({ runAction, runQuery }, request) => {
const authHeader = request.headers.get("Authorization"); //authHeader is null
......Limit & Offset Pagination
Hi team, I am wondering if there is a
{take: number, skip: number} (basically the number of elements per page, and the start index where the query starts like here https://www.howtographql.com/typescript-helix/10-filtering-pagination-and-sorting/) API for handling the pagination without cursor? If not, what is the best way for me hack into this? Thanks!I m doing the next js quickstart and
I'm doing the next.js quickstart, and whenever I do npm run dev it executes and then terminates and nothing happens. I'm kind of confused because I copied literally everything exactly yet nothing really happens so if someone could help out that would be great 🙂
