KunanonJ Async Handling in Convex
Always await all promises in Convex functions. Not awaiting promises (e.g., await ctx.scheduler.runAfter, await ctx.db.patch, await ctx.db.insert) may cause unexpected behavior.
Examples
Bad:
export const updateUser = mutation({
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
ctx.db.patch(args.userId, { name: args.name }); // Missing await
}
});
Good:
export const updateUser = mutation({
handler: async (ctx, args) => {
await ctx.db.patch(args.userId, { name: args.name });
}
});
Enable the no-floating-promises ESLint rule to catch these errors.
