# Convex + Svelte Best Practices
This document outlines the mandatory rules and best practices for integrating Convex with Svelte in this project.
## 1. Imports
Always use the following import paths. Do NOT use `$lib/convex` or relative paths for generated files unless specifically required by a local override.
### Correct Imports:
```typescript
import { useQuery, useConvexClient } from 'convex-svelte';
import { api } from '@sgse-app/backend/convex/_generated/api';
import type { Id, Doc } from '@sgse-app/backend/convex/_generated/dataModel';
```
### Incorrect Imports (Avoid):
```typescript
import { convex } from '$lib/convex'; // Avoid direct client usage for queries
import { api } from '$lib/convex/_generated/api'; // Incorrect path
import { api } from '../convex/_generated/api'; // Relative path
```
## 2. Data Fetching
### Use `useQuery` for Reactivity
Instead of manually fetching data inside `onMount`, use the `useQuery` hook. This ensures your data is reactive and automatically updates when the backend data changes.
**Preferred Pattern:**
```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { useQuery } from 'convex-svelte';
import { api } from '@sgse-app/backend/convex/_generated/api';
const tasksQuery = useQuery(api.tasks.list, { status: 'pending' });
const tasks = $derived(tasksQuery.data || []);
const isLoading = $derived(tasksQuery.isLoading);
</script>
```
**Avoid Pattern:**
```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { onMount } from 'svelte';
import { convex } from '$lib/convex';
let tasks = [];
onMount(async () => {
// This is not reactive!
tasks = await convex.query(api.tasks.list, { status: 'pending' });
});
</script>
```
### Mutations
Use `useConvexClient` to access the client for mutations.
```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { useConvexClient } from 'convex-svelte';
import { api } from '@sgse-app/backend/convex/_generated/api';
const client = useConvexClient();
async function completeTask(id) {
await client.mutation(api.tasks.complete, { id });
}
</script>
```
## 3. Type Safety
### No `any`
Strictly avoid using `any`. The Convex generated data model provides precise types for all your tables.
### Use Generated Types
Use `Doc<"tableName">` for full document objects and `Id<"tableName">` for IDs.
**Correct:**
```typescript
import type { Doc, Id } from '@sgse-app/backend/convex/_generated/dataModel';
let selectedTask: Doc<'tasks'> | null = $state(null);
let taskId: Id<'tasks'>;
```
**Incorrect:**
```typescript
let selectedTask: any = $state(null);
let taskId: string;
```
### Union Types for Enums
When dealing with status fields or other enums, define the specific union type instead of casting to `any`.
**Correct:**
```typescript
async function updateStatus(newStatus: 'pending' | 'completed' | 'archived') {
// ...
}
```
**Incorrect:**
```typescript
async function updateStatus(newStatus: string) {
// ...
status: newStatus as any; // Avoid this
}
```
