CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

1.17.3

• Fetch a new JWT from Clerk when using CLerk components to change the active orgId or orgRole in React on the client. Any auth provider can implement this by returning a new getToken function from the useAuth hook passed into ConvexProviderWithAuth.

1.17.2

• Revert local Prettier settings change described in 1.17.1 which removed angle brackets in some cases where local prettier config used plugins.

• npx convex import --replace-all flag which behaves like the Restore functionality in the dashboard.

1.17.1

• Use local Prettier settings to format code in convex/_generated if found.
• Extend supported react and react-dom peerDependencies to include v19 prereleases. This is temporary, only stable React 19 releases will be supported in the long term.
• Hook up Sentry reporting for local deployments, opted-into by npx convex dev --local. This telemetry will be made configurable before this feature is released more broadly. This is being called out here for transparency regarding telemetry, but this --local feature is not yet ready for general consumption. Please don't use it unless you're excited to help test unfinished features and willing to have errors submitted to Convex.
• Don't try to bundle .txt or .md files in the convex/ directory.
• Don't include credentials in HTTP client requests.

1.17.0

• Disallow extra arguments to CLI commands.
• --component flags for convex import and convex data.
• --run-component flag for convex dev --run
• Remove prettier-ignore-start directives from generated code.
• Fix file watcher bug where a syntax error could cause a file to stop being watched.
• Downgrade jwt-decode dependency back to ^3.1.2.
• Change refresh token renewal timing

1.16.6

• Detect TanStack Start projects and use environment variable name VITE_CONVEX_URL.

1.16.5

• restore --run flag of convex import

1.16.4

• Don't typecheck dependent components by default, add --typecheckComponents flag to typecheck.

1.16.3

• Fix some library typecheck errors introduced in 1.16.1. Workaround for previous versions is to add "skipLibCheck": true to the tsconfig.json in the convex directory.

1.16.2

• Change some language around components beta.

1.16.1

• Release components, a feature in beta. These codepaths should not be active unless a convex directory contains a file named convex.config.ts. Components aren't documented yet and may change significantly before general release.

1.16.0

• Added support for a new validator, v.record. This is a typed key-value object in TypeScript. More information can be found in the docs.

• Upgrade esbuild from 0.17 to 0.23. It's possible to use an npm override to use a different version of esbuild if you need to stay on an older version, although changes to the esbuild API could break this in the future.

  See esbuild changelog for the full list of changes. One standout: tsconfig.json is no longer used by esbuild for jsx setting. Convex now sets it manually to "automatic".

1.15.0

• Added new command, npx convex function-spec, that exposes the function metadata (name, type, validators, visibility) of functions defined in your Convex deployment
• Generated code no longer includes the "Generated by convex@version" comment
• Fix issue with convexClient.query() so it always returns a Promise

1.14.0

• Updates to ConvexReactClient to work better with authentication and server rendering
• npx convex init and npx convex reinit have been deprecated in favor of npx convex dev --configure
• Drop support for Node.js v16, and with it drop the dependency on node-fetch. This removes the 'punycode' deprecation warning printed when running the CLI in more recent versions of Node.js.
• Support for custom claims in JWTs

1.13.2

• Fix npx convex import regression in 1.13.1

1.13.1

• Relax client URL validation to prepare for Convex backends accessible on arbitrary domain. This makes skipConvexDeploymentUrlCheck client option also no longer required for accessing deployments not hosted on the Convex BaaS.

• Fix bug where the first mutation request send over the WebSocket failing would not roll back the corresponding optimistic update (completedMutationId could be 0 which is falsey!)

• Fix bug where codegen --init would fail if no Convex directory existed yet.

• Action and query function wrappers now also allow validators for args (previously only objects were accepted) and objects for returns (previously only validators were accepted).

• Change httpRouter behavior for overlapping paths: exact matches first, then the longest prefix patch that matches.

1.13.0

• Convex queries, mutations, and actions now accept returns: property to specify a return value validator.

  Return value validators throw a runtime error (so will roll back the transaction in a mutation) when the value returned from a query or mutation does not match this validator. This is stricter than TypeScript in that extra properties will not be allowed.

• Validator fields are now exposed: the return value of v.object({ ... }) now has a .fields property with the validators for each property on it.

  const message = v.object({ user: v.string(), body: v.string() });
  const imageMessage = v.object({ ...message.fields, })
  

  These validators are also exposed on the schema at schema.tables.messages.validator

  The Validator export is no longer a class. It is now a discriminated union type of all validators where the .kind as the discriminator. The Validator type still has three type parameters with only the first (the TypeScript type enforced by the validator) required.

  The second type parameter IsOptional is no longer a boolean, is it "optional" or "required" now.

  These are breaking changes if you're using the two optional type parameters of Validator or doing instanceof checks with Validator! We apologize for the inconvenience. The same users this affects should be the ones that most benefit from the ability to work with validator types more directly.

• Argument validators now accept validators (object validators and union validators) in addition to objects with validators as properties. Return value validators similarly accept either validators or objects with validators as properties, but unlike args: any validator is allowed.

  Custom function wrappers (AKA middleware) should continue to work, but to present the same API has the builtin Convex function wrappers query, internalQuery, mutation etc. you'll need to update such code to accept either a validator or an object of validators. You'll likely want to update these anyway to support return value validators. The new asValidator helper maybe useful here.

• The default tsconfig.json created in projects when first creating the convex/ directory now uses "moduleResolution": "Bundler". This is just a better default, you probably never want the previous default "node"/"node10".

1.12.1

• Fix bug where npx convex deploy and npx convex dev would incorrectly skip pushing if the only change was removing files

1.12.0

• npx convex env set works with ENV_VAR_NAME=value syntax

1.11.3

• Fix bug when filling out an empty env file
• Exclude files beginning with # from convex directory entry points
• Warn when pushing with an https.ts file
• throw if argument to Query.take() is not an integer

1.11.2

• Fix timestamps in npm convex logs

1.11.1

• Allow Clerk 5 (currently in beta) in convex peerDependencies
• Fix typechecking bug on Windows caused by the Node.js patch for CVE-2024-27980 that makes running tsc.CMD directly no longer work
• Exclude jsonl from convex directory entry points
• Add autocomplete for project selection in new project flow
• output debugBundlePath as full bundle instead of as a single file
