ESLint Errors in Vite Template

Does anyone else get this type of eslint issue when using the default Vite template?

Parsing error: ESLint was configured to run on `<tsconfigRootDir>/convex/backfill.ts` using `parserOptions.project`:
- <tsconfigRootDir>/tsconfig.node.json
- <tsconfigRootDir>/tsconfig.app.json
However, none of those TSConfigs include this file. Either:
- Change ESLint's list of included files to not include this file
- Change one of those TSConfigs to include this file
- Create a new TSConfig that includes this file and include it in your parserOptions.project
See the typescript-eslint docs for more info: https://typescript-eslint.io/troubleshooting/typed-linting#i-get-errors-telling-me-eslint-was-configured-to-run--however-that-tsconfig-does-not--none-of-those-tsconfigs-include-this-fileeslint

Quick Reset for Dev DB

Is there a quick reset for dev data? Or is it better to just do a local dev when needing to do that. Essentially I am making changes fast, creating a function create initial set of data and would like to just reset it sometimes easily.

AG-Grid Datasource

Has anyone built an AG-Grid Data Source for Convex? I use ag-grid and it might be worth building an opensource library for it to handle paging and such easily with convex.

Transaction Log/Audit Log in Convex

Is there a good way to build an audit log in convex? Just thinking through how some of the foundational pieces of convex actually works with its transaction log, is there any way to access this log through the sdk? I would like to be able to track what users change which data and would love to have that information if it is available already.

Custom Metadata/Extending Schema

Is it possible to extend or add additional metadata/properties on the schema? We keep a few extra properties on a "schema" like object in our app now, would be nice to just merge the concept. For example it can be something as simple as label for the label that is on the field. Or other things like input_type which may be the type of input control to use. Is it possible to do this and also read the schema in our application?

Migrating to Convex from RDMS/SQL

I would love to hear about someone's approach moving from a traditional SQL platform to Convex and any patterns or practices they took. For me we run a very large CRM application and would love to move to something like Convex even if it was some type of lift and shift approach. But I would love to hear opinions or approaches anyone has taken. I feel like we could start finding a way to use Convex just for reading data on a small scale but it is when we want to shift to writing is the big question.
