"use node" in tutorial

Querying embeddings

For querying embeddings, do we have to use the node runtime? I was looking at the convex Langchain integration and it's mentioned over there but not in convex website docs https://docs.convex.dev/vector-search

FoundationDB

Interesting that DenoKV is on FoundationDB too 🙂 https://deno.com/blog/building-deno-kv

Conditionally run useQuery

Hi, I can't get around this problem so I want to share it with you: 1. I have a component, a shad/cn dialog, which lives on another component. 2. inside this component, I use a "useQuery" to get some data from the DB. I pass as arguments to the "useQuery" function some Component Props (like a user._id) 3. these Component Props are defined only when the dialog is opened, so the first problem I had to solve was to make the "useQuery" function not execute until the dialog modal is opened, otherwise I would get an error....

Open source enterprise apps

is there any opensource real world / "enterprise" project made with convex I can learn from? I really love the stack blog posts and documentation of convex, but would be lovely to have a look at some real world sophisticated solution to learn best practice from, which deal for example with serious amount of traffic or complex problems which is beyond demo purpose?

Array includes

Is there any way to filter data based on array includes? Example: I have a query that takes in userId param and I have a collection "userMessages" with field "users" which is array of userIds How can I filter the data based on users.includes(userId)? Are there any code examples for this?...

OSS Hosting

Hello Convex team, I was wondering any plans to further simplify the self-host option I watched the last video about being open source but the setup process is a lot, any plans to make it more easier ? Many thanks 🤩 👍...

transactional inserts

For some reason, I had always assumed that if one of the db operations (ex:db.insert) fail within a function, convex enforces transactional behavior across all operations to fail or revert. Upon testing, this does not seem to be the case and we would need to implement our own rollback mechanisms. Given the behavior, it's seems obvious but just incase, I would be grateful for just a confirmation, thank you.

This is related to Preloading Data https://docs.convex.dev/api/modules/nextjs#preloading-data I followed it, it's working. however I am not sure if its working as its supposed to be.

chained deletes

Hey Convex! I just wanted to ask a quick question before I go down a logic rabbit hole... Does convex provide any sort of helpers / convenience for a sort of "cascade/relational delete"? Rather than needing to write some unwieldy functions that tear apart related data, I am hoping/wishing for some sort of function that is essentially "Given this ID, delete it and anything related to it" so that I don't have to worry about orphaned data, and I don't have to rely on finicky chained deletes that co...

CMS Stuff

Hello everyone, I am sorry if this is a bit off-topic but If I need to have a blog and ebook like style sections on my site with images, videos, rich text etc... with categories that can have subcategories, can be sorted, searched etc... Would you guys recommend using Convex with Algolia for example or use a dedicated headless CMS like Sanity, PayloadCMS etc... for this?
