How to query while inside a function?

I have a handleSubmit function called by a form. I have a query built that works, but I don’t know how to access it while I’m inside of a function. I know the query works because I can hardcode and use a stand alone useQuery but I can’t figure out the syntax/command to use while inside of a function to call it with an arg. I’m using TanStack. Clarification: the query does a check for some business logic which is why I’m doing it inside of the handleSubmit. The rest of the handleSubmit depends on the result of this initial query. Do I need to do this more sequentially instead of all inside one function? Get the form element I need and make it a const then pass that to a query, then call that from inside the handle form?...

Returning response from runQuery in a query breaks typescript

As seen in the included images: in the first image I return data from the runQuery and now the entire function and everything in it resolves to any. When I remove the return (or change it to something like return 1) the types work again. I've had this before with actions as well. I think the issue is with runQuery because when I return data I get from ctx.db it works fine. I guess this is a bug? I can't find anything in the docs that state I shouldn't return data from runQuery. Or is there something else that I might be doing wrong?...

Authentication not updating

I have an incredibly simple auth setup following the guide here https://labs.convex.dev/auth/api_reference/react. I want to use the <Authenticated> <Unauthenticated> and <AuthLoading> components to structure my code, but it seems that the <Authenticated> will never trigger. I will either be in a state where I am unauthenticated or loading....

dashboard not loading in firefox

Hi, I tried disabling any adblocker extensions in firefox but still I am unable to open the convex dashboard in firefox. the console shows the following error Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://outgoing-panther-899.convex.cloud/api/1.18.2/sync. I'm now using google chrome without issues, probably something related to browser compatibility, firefox hasn't been in it's prime lately...

When to query data in a framework's loader vs a route component? Or imported component?

Coming from a Remix/RR7 background where basically all data fetching was done in the loader. Now I'm making headway in TanStack Start/Router and Convex and its slowly starting to click. Convex docs for TanStack always show doing a query in the route component, usually highlighting the reactivity for changes in the database which is great. My questions are, under what circumstances would one do the query in a loader/beforeLoad and when would one do it in the route component? When reactivity is needed is it only achieved in the route component? Can reactivity happen from an imported component that has a useQuery in its export? If one doesn't need reactivity is it better to query in the loader? Some of this has to do with the code splitting that TanStack does, keeping code securely processed on the server vs potentially exposed on the client. How that all works is one of the many ways my ignorance starts to show. Like anyone else, I want to keep safe the data that needs keeping safe, and also have the app do the work where it should be doing it (loader/component/route) and not mistakenly trying to make it do it one way when it only works the other....

Preferred method for saving formatted text in string fields?

It's still early days for me in Convex and my app. For now I need to display a block of text made up of a number of paragraphs. What is the secret sauce to copy/paste into a string field and maintain paragraphs? Eventually I will be building something more sophisticated with TipTap or similar. For now, I'd like this block to have some paragraph breaks. I tried \r and \n thinking it might interpret those but it doesn't seem to.

TypeScript not Inferring Query `handler` Type Correctly

Hey everyone, I'm trying to "JOIN" some data in my query in order to include the creator directly in my response. However, it seems like TypeScript isn't able to properly infer the handler's return type even with excessive type hints:```ts export const find = query({ args: { paginationOpts: paginationOptsValidator, filter: v.optional(...
