Convex Quickstart

Get a production-ready Convex backend set up in minutes. This skill guides you through initializing Convex, creating your schema, setting up auth, and building your first CRUD operations.

When to Use

• Starting a brand new project with Convex
• Adding Convex to an existing React/Next.js app
• Prototyping a new feature with real-time data
• Converting from another backend to Convex
• Teaching someone Convex for the first time

Prerequisites Check

Before starting, verify:

node --version  # v18 or higher
npm --version   # v8 or higher

Quick Start Flow

Step 1: Install and Initialize

# Install Convex
npm install convex

# Initialize (creates convex/ directory)
npx convex dev

This command:

• Creates convex/ directory
• Sets up authentication
• Starts development server
• Generates TypeScript types

Step 2: Create Schema

Create convex/schema.ts:

import { defineSchema, defineTable }  ;
 { v }  ;

  ({
  : ({
    : v.(),
    : v.(),
    : v.(),
  }).(, []),

  
  
  : ({
    : v.(),
    : v.(),
    : v.(),
    : v.(),
  })
    .(, [])
    .(, [, ]),
});
