Authenticating Http API

Calling mutations and queries created on a convex project using http api (mydomain.convex.cloud/api/query). I want to secure this endpoint on my convex project using cors to allow only my main application to talk with convex. Right now if I called this endpoint and specified a query or mutation name in the body I would be able to call it and get back results. I already checked the authentication part on convex docs, but what I need is my app to call this api only. So adding a constant bearer token on my main app is kinda useless.. Can anyone please help with this....

Paginated Queries correctly when multiple concurrent mutations

I need help implementing Paginated Queries correctly when multiple concurrent mutations (create, delete, and update operations) affect the record count and pagination cursor. Consider a ChatGPT-like interface with a list of messages. I'm using paginated queries to fetch the N most recent messages and display them to the user with an option to "Load earlier messages." When a user edits a message, the conversation restarts from that point. For example, in a chat with 100 messages where the last 20 are displayed due to pagination, editing message #85 would trigger two actions: the backend would delete all messages after #85, and the AI would generate a new response to the edited message. This would result in a chat containing 86 messages....

`npx convex dev` always adds `.env.local` to `.gitignore`?

Hey team! I'm working on an open source repo that requires contributors to initialize Convex on their local machines. I've noticed a few contributors push code that adds .env.local at the bottom of .gitignore, even though it's already listed above. I think this is being added automatically during the initialization process. Is there a way to disable this, or to improve the .gitignore pattern matching so it doesn't get added?...

Hitting error "found wrong number of app bundles" in dev CLI

Hi there! I am hitting an error in which whenever I add a convex.config.ts file to install components, I get a "found wrong number of app bundles" in the CLI. I have tried searching the docs and github but haven't managed to find anything. This is pretty much all that is in my convex.config.ts file right now. I am using remix in the same repo if that is of any significance. Any help would be appreciated! 😀 Thank you ```ts import { defineApp } from "convex/server"; ...

Deleting Users from Backend Function that are Synced with Clerk

I have a users table that is updated by Clerk sending webhooks with the users over to convex. Now I want to implement a feature where admins on my site can delete users. However, I am running into an error when I run npx convex dev as seen in the screenshot. This is my backend function that is triggering the error, more specifically, when I imported clerkClient. ```tsx import { clerkClient } from "@clerk/nextjs/server";...

Solution:

@Tom thank you tom! I ended up splitting the code into a mutation and an action. That way I could use the third party call inside of the backend!

Resize function window

Playing around in convex, i found out that if i run an action/query/mutation that yields a very long output, the bottom bar expands to fill almost the whole view, resulting in me not being able to see data in my tables. Am I doing something wrong, or is it unexpected behaviour?

Architecture of larger convex apps.

Hey guys, I'm a solo developer working with Convex and some of my apps are getting bigger with complex business logic. I wanted a cleaner architecture approach but don't want to over-engineer since I'm working solo. I asked Claude for suggesting and it gave me the ones in the image, but I'm not experienced enough to tell if they are good or not. Would love to hear from seasoned devs about:...

TS type error: Property 'messages' does not exist on type '{}'.ts(2339) (internal.messages)

I am roughly following https://stack.convex.dev/full-stack-chatgpt-app this tutorial. And got this error on my action. I have "messages.ts" file and "send" mutation. Looks like "internal" inside "_generated/api.d.ts" doesn't have any property. Any idea what could be wrong? ...

Http referrers in google console via convex actions

Hey all, I am currently interacting with a google api (timezone api) and am configuring the website restrictions in the google console. My system environment variable referenced within the action is logging the expected value, accessed at process.env.CONVEX_CLOUD_URL. I've followed the guidelines in the google documentation to allow subdomains of convex.cloud to call the api from the server deployments, and have also added a referer to the headers of the fetch request made from the action. ...

Programmatically force convex to reload and re authenticate ?

Is there a way to force the Convex auth provider to refresh? I’m almost done building a full-stack monorepo using Next.js and Capacitor, leveraging the full capabilities of Convex, including authentication. Everything works fine until the iOS WebView gets killed in the background to save memory. As a result, when the user returns to the app after a period of inactivity, they end up in a stale state and are stuck on a loading screen. The only way to resolve this is by clearing the app from the ba...

Accessing database in an action

I'm hoping to better understand why ActionCtx does not expose db. This forces me to write much longer code like the first below, instead of the second. ```TypeScript export const set = internalAction({ args: { key: v.string() }, handler: async (ctx, { key }) => {...

Should I use `users` table or `profiles`?

Should I use users table from Convex Auth for storing additional user data, or should I better create profiles table and store it there, not touching the users table? Which one is considered a best practice for Convex Auth?

[Backup & restore]: Force overwrite

Would it be possible to add this to the web interface restore? Maybe this could be made an option only for dev environments to avoid doing something nasty. We back up our prod deployment, and sometimes I would like to overwrite my dev deployment with such a backup, but must manually clear all tables first to avoid this error:
