integrating-convex-expo

Why this skill exists Convex setup in React Native is straightforward, but small details (Expo environment variables, file locations, keeping convex dev running) regularly cause broken builds or “it returns undefined” confusion. This skill standardises a reliable, end-to-end workflow.

When unsure, search for expo-router in package.json and look for an app/ folder.

Workflow A — Add Convex to an existing Expo app (recommended default)

Sets up and evolves Convex backends for Expo / React Native apps: create deployments, configure EXPO_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL (and EAS env vars), wire up ConvexProvider + ConvexReactClient, use generated api types, and implement queries/mutations/actions, schemas/indexes, auth, and file uploads. Use when the user mentions Convex with Expo/React Native, create-expo-app, expo-router, useQuery/useMutation, ConvexReactClient, convex dev, deployment URL, EAS builds, or asks for a realtime database/backend in an Expo app. Source: tristanmanchester/agent-skills.
