Unconventional Authentication Implementation

I have an interesting client and one of his specifications is that he wants to keep users of the platform completely anonymous, but we still need a way to identify them, but without knowing their personal details. So he wants to use phone numbers to authenticate them and they encrypt the phone number in the database I don't really know how to go about implementing this with convex. The 2 ideas I have are: 1. To use the Lucia implementation to create a custom auth flow - but lucia is deprecated so I have to find the equivalent....

SwiftUI with Convex and Clerk problem :

in my app, I'm integrating Convex with Clerk auth, in my swiftUI ios app. Before signing in, I have no problems talking to the Convex Backend. I did all the steps. When I sign in, I print the auth state in the xcode logs, which says authenticated - with the JWT....

Offset-based pagination returns NULL

I'm trying to implement offset-based pagination however almost every query returns null. Random access works fine. Getting the total count gives me a number greater than the number of records in the table. I've "repaired" my aggregates. Setting the offset to a high value sometimes returns a result but seems to be a random field from the record.

Convex Auth - Redirect to app?

I'm building a hybrid app, and I'm currently using Convex Auth, which works really well on the web. I'm using Capacitor to basically package my app into a webview. I'm wondering how I would make the Google oAuth redirect to my app, instead of the web. Thanks!...

Additional parameters in Email config

I'm using @convex-dev/auth/providers/Email to send verification emails and want to support multiple languages (e.g., 'en', 'ko') based on user settings. However, the current sendVerificationRequest doesn't accept custom parameters like customData to pass locale info, forcing me to hardcode templates (e.g., 'en'). #### Current Code ```typescript import { Email } from '@convex-dev/auth/providers/Email';...

Pre generating IDs

Seems that the mutateAsync function pre-emptively returns an ID for an entity. Just wondering if there is a way to do the same outside of using mutateAsync, like more programatically using the ConvexReactClient directly for example?

🤔 Forcing a Refresh in TanStack Query with Convex: How to Do It?

I set up TanStack Query with Convex Query, and everything works fine by following the documentation. However, one thing I noticed is that Convex/TanStack Query doesn't require a forced refresh. I need to force a refresh for a specific purpose. Can anyone guide me on how to do that?

Cloudflare Pages w/ Convex NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL

Does anyone have any guidance on how to properly set NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL for de/preview/prod when using Cloudflare pages for hosting? I've attached my workaround that currently lets me deploy with it set to my prod convex instance but would like it to still set to my dev convex deployment for non prod deploys

Non OpenID Connect auth

I'm having some trouble getting custom auth working. I'm trying to get it working with privy.io The local provider seems to be set up correctly - and the app id and domain appear to be correct in the auth.config.ts file I believe what's happening is privy's JWKS endpoint doesn't match - which I think means privy isn't openid connect compatible Is there any way to work around this?...

SolidJS integration

Currently, solid start has already entered tanstack start, although it is not yet stable. I hope we have a convex integration available when it stabilizes. Is there a plan solid integration?

Add access token from OAuth provider

I've successfully used the Spotify provider from @auth/core/providers/spotify with covexAuth to create users/sessions in my Convex app. Now, I'd like to call the Spotify API with the proper access token. I tried using the token generated by Convex Auth's signIn, but this doesn't appear to work—I suppose that makes sense, but it was worth a shot. Since the Convex Auth docs mention that configs are implemented with Auth.js configs, I took a look at the Auth.js "Extending the session" docs. They expose session and jwt callbacks for the purpose of sending data from a provider to the client. It looks like these callbacks are intentionally left out of the convexAuth implementation, but is there a way to achieve something similar?...

Suggestion: Drop "Convex Developer Hub" from Convex Docs page titles

It's probably a remnant of the past? Don't think it shows up anywhere else, but it does show up in link previews.
