watching a custom endpoint, rather than an api endpoint
But otherwise, I appreciate the responses and I will have a think on what to do next.

watching a custom endpoint, rather than an api endpoint
It's a shame that the current paradigm just scans the single convex directory. It would be nicer if there was a v2 which scanned the codebase for convex queries and mutations and then transpiled that up to the server. That way, the benefit of having queries/mutations adjacent to code would be there.

I don't know another way of phrasing it. But isn't it an http endpoint at some layer in the convex react library? I thought maybe there's a way of replicating that?

watching a custom endpoint, rather than an api endpoint
In this instance, it's only 1 domain (backend ts) that has the issue where there's a lot of business logic in 1 place and co-mingled with the database logic. Pulling that out into convex is going to be a real chore. Hence the question on whether the react useQuery can hit an endpoint rather than the api.

Right, I just mention the syntax comparison. with other solutions it's insitu, you can code do the query and keep on coding.
But with convex, it's now having code located elsewhere and running inside a handler. So any code that modifies the payload now has to be carried along to the handler. It cannot be insitu with the other business logic. Again, the DX suffers.

I thought there weren't transactions per se? 🤔

But coming from other paradigms, this is really limiting as normally database functions live adjacent to the code that's being worked on.

I meant that all the files relating to the database have to live in /convex

Coming from prisma. I can access the prisma singleton and then the tables and do queries/mutations insitu. But convex, I can't.

watching a custom endpoint, rather than an api endpoint
I'm butting against the design constraint of the current paradigm. For me it breaks the DX of my current codebase. I have react, encore (ts backend), restate, rust. And although it's a poc with 1 app. I will be porting 9 others across and it will be a horrible experience having all 10 apps be centralised for the database.

Does the limitation for the centralised code lie with the server or the client library?

Need some suggestions about the DX
Do you know offhand links to docs or stack articles which discuss how the database works with respect to queries/mutations etc with a view or writing a layer?
Ok found: https://stack.convex.dev/how-convex-works
digging into that 😄

Now to determine whether I can create queries/mutations in my ts backend and then have the watcher import them as functions. 🤔
