ai API works differently.

I want to create an action that calls openAI API (perplexity in this case). When I use postman I get normal answer based on real life data (like asking about some stock price). When I use fetch from convex server I always get answer that model doesn't have access to the internet. What is wrong here?...

How to wrap the database writer so that `ctx.db.patch` and `ctx.db.insert` run side effects

Firebase has a concept of trigger functions which trigger when documents are created, updated, deleted, etc. I found this really useful since I didn't have to worry about where or how documents were updated to still be sure that a cleanup or side effect would be run. What would be a robust way to do this in Convex? I was trying to do it inside rules but quickly realized that's not possible... This is what my mental model wanted to do:...

how do I efficiently aggregate data?

How do I aggregate data? I.e I have orders, how do I calculate the total amount through entire period? I would assume querying all records and adding up the count wouldn't be the best option?

[ConvexAuth]: Handling errors that happen from the useAuthActions methods

I'm a bit confused, when it comes to catching and handling the errors thrown by signIn() in the front end? Is there any recommendations on how we can handle these errors on the client, and show a bit of information to the user of what went wrong?...

Best way of querying documents when using Clerk

Hello! I'm currently working on a project that uses both Convex and Clerk together. I've been running into some issues with consistency within my backend when it comes to query documents by id and wanted to see if anyone had advice. The problem is that it's easy and convenient to query by a user's Clerk id, but I lose the type safety of the _id prop. It also leads to weird situations when creating relationships between tables. Should I just my me query function (returns user info protected by auth RLS) every time I want to query with a user id or is using the clerkId as the primary way of fetching a document a ok practice? me function ```ts export const me = authRLSQuery({...

Issues when setting up the auth in an existing project

I tried to setup the Convex Auth to an existing react app but run into issues regarding tsconfig configuration. It says: ```sh convex/schema.ts:1:30 - error TS2792: Cannot find module 'convex/server'. Did you mean to set the 'moduleResolution' option to 'node', or to add aliases to the 'paths' option?...

Convex auth with nodemailer for smtp

I want to use my own smtp server to send out the magic links, but it seems that the needed provider for this (nodemailer) is not working out of the box with convex. The issue is with stream, crypto, path, os, fs all not available - You can use "platform: 'node'" to do that, which will remove this error. But I guess that's not an option, or is it?
