Module: server

Utilities for implementing server-side Convex query and mutation functions.

Usage

Code Generation

This module is typically used alongside generated server code.

To generate the server code, run npx convex dev in your Convex project. This will create a convex/_generated/server.js file with the following functions, typed for your schema:

• query
• mutation

If you aren't using TypeScript and code generation, you can use these untyped functions instead:

• queryGeneric
• mutationGeneric

Example

Convex functions are defined by using either the query or mutation wrappers.

Queries receive a db that implements the GenericDatabaseReader interface.

import { query } from "./_generated/server";

export default query(async ({ db }, { arg1, arg2 }) => {
  // Your (read-only) code here!
});

If your function needs to write to the database, such as inserting, updating, or deleting documents, use mutation instead which provides a db that implements the GenericDatabaseWriter interface.

import { mutation } from "./_generated/server";

export default mutation(async ({ db }, { arg1, arg2 }) => {
  // Your mutation code here!
});

Type Aliases

FunctionType

The type of a Convex function.

Defined in

server/api.ts:17

FunctionReference

Ƭ FunctionReference<Type, Visibility, Args, ReturnType>: Object

A reference to a registered Convex function.

You can create a FunctionReference using the generated api utility:

import { api } from "../convex/_generated/api";

const reference = api.myModule.myFunction;

If you aren't using code generation, you can create references using anyApi:

import { anyApi } from "convex/server";

const reference = anyApi.myModule.myFunction;

Function references can be used to invoke functions from the client. For example, in React you can pass references to the useQuery hook:

const result = useQuery(api.myModule.myFunction);

Type parameters

Name	Type	Description
Type	extends FunctionType	The type of the function ("query", "mutation", or "action").
Visibility	extends FunctionVisibility = "public"	The visibility of the function ("public" or "internal").
