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

Convex Quickstart

Set up a working Convex project as fast as possible.

When to Use

  • Starting a brand new project with Convex
  • Adding Convex to an existing React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or other app
  • Scaffolding a Convex app for prototyping

When Not to Use

  • The project already has Convex installed and convex/ exists - just start building
  • You only need to add auth to an existing Convex app - use the convex-setup-auth skill
