is there a built-in mechanism for loading and error indicators like isLoading and isError in convex? if not, how can i implement them effectively?

a little trick i do (i don't know if this is valid or not)
if you are querying data. instead of using
query in convex backend i write mutation functions even if i just want to get the data back
you can conditionally called mutation and give params after a check if whatever loaded or not in page. for query you need to provide params with the hook call.
if you asked something else, then i'm sorry if this is what you want then you're welcome lolCheck out "richer useQuery" here https://www.npmjs.com/package/convex-helpers#richer-usequery

convex is a bit anti "batteries included" philosophically ( see https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2019/05/amber-brown-batteries-included-but.html ) . we want the few things we ship in the core libraries to be simple and "forever", and then we want to get good at augmenting them with libraries and components and all sorts of other great stuff that are more fluid and more specific. this is closer to the "JavaScript (npm)" or "rust (cargo)" philosophy than the python one. so right now, there is a lot of good stuff in convex-helpers
