Hey quick question about optional types

Hey, quick question about optional types. I was able to come up with a way to easily define if a type could be missing. My questions are: 1. is there a more elegant way to do so and 2. is there a way to enforce these types on the convex dashboard. In my understanding, the local schema.ts doesn't get applied on the dashboard, but instead the dashboard allows any data to be inserted....

server-side types

Hey everyone! Loving the way convex functions work, and the various lambda easter eggs (also hi again James, Sujay and Presley! ) I'm trying to figure out how to configure type inference on server side usage of convex. Client side type inference works flawlessly in .tsx files using Next.js, but on server (meaning nextjs api) I'm getting "any" as the inferred type. Is there any info on how to set up type inference and thus also auto-completion to work when using ConvexHttpClient ?...

Windowed Infinite Scroll

I was curious to know whether anyone has thoughts on “windowed” pagination—I’m not sure what people call this, but I’ll explain what I mean. In most implementations of “infinite scroll” that I’ve seen, new items are loaded and appended to the end of a list indefinitely, but old items are never removed. This means that scrolling is not actually “infinite” in the sense that eventually, you load too many items onto the DOM and your page gets slow! I would like the ability to “unload” items at the beginning of the list once the list reaches a certain limit, and then to reload those things if a user scrolls back up (or in the opposite direction)....

prod app connection issues

Having a weird situation where all of the code is working on the dev instance of our convex app on localhost, but when uploading to prod (and prodURL is correctly set) to a live server, nothing executes. How can we troubleshoot?

Throttling Requests by Single-Flighting

I put together a blog post on best practices for throttling mutations for things like typing. @RJ I thought of your collaborative text editor. Hopefully this is helpful for anyone doing fast updates! https://blog.convex.dev/throttling-requests-by-single-flighting/

Populating Convex data from Node.js

Hi guys I just started using convex and want to test out its potential for a large web app, if I want to populate my convex database from react api calls, there are almost 100k records but after some inserts the convex backend breaks showing this error : Network error connecting to dev deployment: read ECONNRESET If there is a way to build api calls service like node in convex or just the backend contains queries, subsscriptions, etc.?...

API key

Minor nit: this API key should probably be cleaned up from the docs

Tell if mutations are pending

Is there a way to tell if mutations are pending? I noticed the Convex browser client seems to register a beforeunload handler to warn the user if there are mutations pending, and it'd be really cool if I could show an indicator in my UI as well

Helper Functions

can we run queries within queries? there's some logic that we want to share between two different queries, but we're not sure what the best way to go about this is. basically we have an admin table, and before all the admin operations that require admin privileges, we want to query the admin table and check that the user is there. we would like to put this into one method we could call from all the "privileged" operations. how should we do this?
