@Jamie @Tom @James Cowling So I think a key limitation of convex generated api (convex-helpers) is that it can’t be used from another convex repo (that has a separate convex backend). Is this correct? Is there a plan to address this? Thanks!

I'm interested in the upcoming local sync engine. Until then... does anyone have recommendations on libraries you would use to implement a "single player", offline-first expo/mobile app architecture? More details in 🧵.

I'm conflicted on which Auth provider to use. Convex's native solution, Clerk, or Auth0? Can someone share their personal preference and why? I'm using Next.js, and the documentation states that support for SSA is experimental, so I'm assuming Convex's native auth solution is a no go in that case?

Any ideas on how I would make it so that the user gives a request in plain english, and then have an AI that will extract specific fields in json? So if the user says something like "i want an apple pie recipe for 2 people", it would return:
{
food_type: "applepie",
portions: 2
}
{
food_type: "applepie",
portions: 2
}

Hi, so I just finished developing my app. How can I move the dev data to prod? I just realized that there are two databases for some reason woops

you can export the data from the dev db and import it into the prod db: https://docs.convex.dev/database/import-export/

How come auth has seperate docs?

How do you set a default value to a field in the schema?

I agree the situation can seem confusing, but there are docs for Convex Auth (i.e. the first-party auth system you can use with Convex) at https://labs.convex.dev/auth, and also documentation for how to integrate auth providers in general at https://docs.convex.dev/auth/ (because you can also use Clerk or Auth0 instead of Convex Auth if you want)

Add authentication to your Convex app.

There's no such thing, but you can instead set the field as optional or make a migration (for instance with the migration component: https://www.convex.dev/components/migrations, or manually if it's simpler for you)

makes it seem like Convex is pushing for using Clerk isntead of their own Auth
Tarky

Their auth is in beta, so it kinda makes sense for now

convex auth is still beta. we're going to work on stabilizing it/GA in the next couple of months, and then that should clarify things. just a quick note, we're even being open to the idea of using better auth instead before we make a final call here. @erquhart has been investigating that we just want to make sure when we mark it stable we feel really good about it
