convex-quickstart

Installation
Summary

Scaffold a new Convex project or integrate Convex into an existing frontend app.

  • Supports two paths: scaffolding from templates (React + Vite, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or bare backend) or adding Convex to an existing app with manual provider setup
  • Templates include pre-configured frontend frameworks, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, and optional auth (Clerk, Convex Auth, Lucia)
  • Requires running npx convex dev as a long-running process to sync backend code and manage deployments; cloud agents can use anonymous mode via CONVEX_AGENT_MODE=anonymous
  • Provides step-by-step wiring for React (Vite), Next.js App Router, and links to guides for Vue, Svelte, React Native, Remix, and Node.js

Quickstart: a barebones Convex template, running

Stand up a barebones Next.js + Convex template from the idea, locally, with an anonymous dev deployment. Minimal by design: local dev servers, no publish step, no pre-baked auth.

Workflow

  1. Run recipe quickstart-recipe@^2 with {idea, template} (the pack fetches + caches it; pinned offline fallback). It creates the project, installs deps, starts the backend (anonymous) and the web dev server.
  2. When it prints the dev URL, open it for the user.
  3. Present a short plan and CONFIRM before building features beyond the template.
