Ignoring _generated in pull requests/git diff

Hey, does anybody know how to do this? It's suggested to not gitignore the _generated files for CI/CD reasons (and we concur with this), but we would still like to not have the files show up in our diffs for pull requests. We tried putting the belowin a .gitattributes file, but seems like that doesnt apply to github pull requests. Anybody have some advice for this? Thanks! 🇩🇰 ```/convex/_generated/* -diff...

CRDT for text editors

@ian what was the reason to choose automerge vs Yjs? I currently use Yjs to sync a react flow nested tree structure, where each node has a lot of data including many text editor blocks (currently using blocknote based on tiptap+prosemirror). But the Yjs sync with the react state manager became too complex and slow, and wanted to switch to convex for everything except the text editors to handle merges / conflicts better. And blocknote is not good for nested schemas (I want nested custom block types, some react RSC) so I need to switch to pure prosemirror or another CRDT text editor. ...

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. ...
