Convex Helpers Guide
Use this when a task needs common Convex patterns without introducing full components.
Best uses
- relationship traversal helpers,
- custom function wrappers for data protection,
- common server-side utilities that remove boilerplate.
Decision rule
- Reach for helpers when the problem is repeated but still local to the app.
- Reach for components when the capability should be encapsulated and reusable across projects.
