Product Update - Volume 4
Return value validators
Compile time type check isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? Run time type validation! Add a returns property with a validator to your Convex functions to make sure your frontend always gets the right data.
There are plenty of other goodies packed in the Convex 1.13 release. Learn more in the latest Convex package update.
20 is the new 5
Convex starter plan now lets you create 20 free projects. Don’t let a number hold you back from building your next project.
Team & Project Roles
Share the burden of being a team administrator with someone else on your team. For individual projects, restrict access to potentially destructive actions and writing to the prod deployment. Read the docs to learn more.
A few things to keep in mind:
- These permissions don’t apply to deploy keys that may already be shared amongst your team. Restricted access tokens will be launching soon.
- Existing teams are backfilled with all team members as project admins for all projects. Moving forward you have to explicitly choose admin roles for new members and projects.
- A live dashboard session will not immediately be adjusted if a user moves to a role with different permissions.
Faster text search indexing
The best improvements are the ones where you do nothing and the platform just gets better. Convex text search indexing just got a lot faster and more reliable.
Snapshot import status in the dashboard
Importing a large data set can take time. You can now keep an eye on the status of your import in your dashboard without having to keep the command line open.
