Dependency Management

Catalogs (Single Source of Truth)

All shared dependencies are defined in root package.json catalogs:

"catalog": {
  "prettier": "^3.6.2",
  "typescript": "^5.9.3",
  "eslint": "^9.38.0"
},
"catalogs": {
  "convex": { "convex": "^1.28.0", "@convex-dev/auth": "^0.0.81" },
  "react19": { "react": "^19.1.4", "react-dom": "19.1.4" }
}

Using Catalogs in Packages

"dependencies": {
  "convex": "catalog:convex",
  "react": "catalog:react19",
  "typescript": "catalog:"
},
"devDependencies": {
  "@gib/eslint-config": "workspace:*",
  "@gib/ui": "workspace:*"
}

Updating Dependencies

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use bun update directly - it may replace catalog: with versions.

# Correct workflow:
1. Edit version in root package.json catalog section
2. Run: bun install
3. Verify with: bun lint:ws (runs sherif)

Code Style Guidelines

Imports (via @gib/prettier-config)

// Order: Types → React → Next/Expo → Third-party → @gib/* → Local
import { useState } from 'react';
import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
import { api } from '@/convex/_generated/api';
import { ConvexError } from 'convex/values';

import { cn } from '@gib/ui';

import type { User } from './types';

TypeScript

• Strict mode enabled (noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true)
• Use type imports: import type { X } from 'y'
• Prefix unused vars with _: const _unused = ...
• Avoid any - use unknown with type guards

Naming Conventions

• Components: PascalCase (UserProfile.tsx)
• Functions/variables: camelCase
• Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE
• Files: kebab-case.ts (except components)

Error Handling

// Convex functions - use ConvexError
import { ConvexError } from 'convex/values';
throw new ConvexError('User not found.');

// Client-side - handle gracefully
try { ... } catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof ConvexError) { /* handle */ }
}

Formatting

• Single quotes, trailing commas
• 80 char line width, 2 space indent
• Tailwind classes sorted via prettier-plugin-tailwindcss
• Use cn() for conditional classes: cn('base', condition && 'active')

Environment Variables

Central .env (root)

All env vars in /.env. Apps load via with-env script:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "bun with-env next dev --turbo",
  "with-env": "dotenv -e ../../.env --"
}

Required Variables

# Convex
CONVEX_SELF_HOSTED_URL=https://api.convex.example.com
CONVEX_SELF_HOSTED_ADMIN_KEY=<generated>
CONVEX_SITE_URL=https://convex.example.com
NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL=https://api.convex.example.com

# Auth (sync to Convex deployment)
AUTH_AUTHENTIK_ID=
AUTH_AUTHENTIK_SECRET=
AUTH_AUTHENTIK_ISSUER=
USESEND_API_KEY=

Syncing to Convex Deployment

# Upload env vars to self-hosted Convex
npx convex env set AUTH_AUTHENTIK_ID "value"
npx convex env set AUTH_AUTHENTIK_SECRET "value"
npx convex env set AUTH_AUTHENTIK_ISSUER "value"
npx convex env set USESEND_API_KEY "value"
npx convex env set CONVEX_SITE_URL "https://convex.example.com"

Convex Backend Patterns

Schema (packages/backend/convex/schema.ts)

import { defineSchema, defineTable } from 'convex/server';
import { authTables } from '@convex-dev/auth/server';

export default defineSchema({
  ...authTables,
  users: defineTable({ ... }).index('email', ['email']),
});

Queries & Mutations

import { v } from 'convex/values';

import { mutation, query } from './_generated/server';

export const getUser = query({
  args: { userId: v.id('users') },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await ctx.db.get(args.userId);
  },
});

Auth

import { getAuthUserId } from '@convex-dev/auth/server';

// In any query/mutation:
const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
if (!userId) throw new ConvexError('Not authenticated.');

Next.js Patterns

Convex Provider Setup

// src/components/providers/ConvexClientProvider.tsx
'use client';

import { ConvexAuthNextjsProvider } from '@convex-dev/auth/nextjs';
import { ConvexReactClient } from 'convex/react';

const convex = new ConvexReactClient(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL!);

export const ConvexClientProvider = ({ children }) => (
  <ConvexAuthNextjsProvider client={convex}>
    {children}
  </ConvexAuthNextjsProvider>
);

Path Aliases

• @/* → ./src/* (Next.js)
• ~/* → ./src/* (Expo)

Expo Patterns

NativeWind (Tailwind for RN)

import '../styles.css';

// Use className like web: <View className="flex-1 bg-background" />

Secure Storage for Auth

import * as SecureStore from 'expo-secure-store';

// Tokens stored via SecureStore, not AsyncStorage

Known Issues / Cleanup Needed

1. Apps reference @acme/_ instead of @gib/_ - Legacy T3 template imports
2. TRPC imports exist but no TRPC - Replace with Convex client
3. Expo uses better-auth - Should use @convex-dev/auth
4. @gib/ui uses pnpm dlx - Should use bunx for shadcn

Adding UI Components

bun ui-add              # Interactive shadcn/ui component addition
