Currently, my query only returns items where the array exactly matches [categoryId], but I need it to return items where categoryId is one of potentially many elements in the array. Here's my current query: ```typescript...

Calculating average rating across a large dataset

Hello! I'm currently looking to build a feature that shows the average rating of a show based on entry logged by users. This is my first time approaching something like this Convex. I was wondering if there were any recommended solutions? I was looking into the Aggregate convex component to potential solve my problem. The only issue I've have with that approach is that a user can log an entry without rating it, but the sameValue does not accept undefined. ```ts export const animeStatsByEntry = new TableAggregate<{ Namespace: Id<'anime'>...

Zod Unions appear to break `Table` helper (maybe zodToConvex related?)

https://stack.convex.dev/convex-the-database-that-made-me-switch-careers I'm following the pattern described in this article and getting an type error here. Looks to be since the Table expects a Record while the union produces an array of members. This still works below so i'll do this, but wanted to flag this in case it wasn't known...

Use Multi Convex projects

Hey, I love convex but I was wondering if there was any best practice or advice around using mutli convex projects in a single application. For context, what I want to do is build out a private npm package that has common integration for Clerk so I don't have to keep rewriting code and setting up the integration for each app. In My use case its fine to have a central auth to connect everything. ...

Handling Upserts with Optional System Fields

Not sure if this is the best practice here but didn't appear there's a way of getting the Id field to be optional so it can be passed in for upserts (if it doesn't exist, insert, if it does patch). Not sure if my types are entirely correct but seems to work but happy to hear if anyone else agrees ```ts function upsertDeal(ctx: MutationCtx, args: MakeIdOptional<Deals>) { if (args._id) { // type _id = string & {} | undefined...

Underscores not allowed at start of nested fields

We've run into this issue when storing some data inside v.any() fields. This is a blocker for us cause we have to store changes of our customer's schema in Convex so it would be great to have this limit removed. If I'm missing something please let me know!...
