Hi @sterile breach. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
In Convex, you can describe the types of documents in your tables using the Doc type from the generated data model. This type provides document types for all of your tables. Here's an example of how you can use it:
import { Doc } from "../convex/_generated/dataModel";
function MessageView(props: { message: Doc<"messages"> }) {
...
}
In the example above, Doc<"messages"> represents the type of a document in the "messages" table. You can replace "messages" with the name of any table in your database to get the type of a document in that table.
If you need the type for a portion of a document, you can use the Infer type helper.
Also, the query and mutation functions in server.js now provide a db with more precise types. Functions like db.insert(table, document) now understand your schema. Additionally, database queries will now return the correct document type (not any).
For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:
- Adding a schema (https://docs.convex.dev/production/best-practices/typescript#adding-a-schema)
- TypeScript types (https://docs.convex.dev/database/schemas#typescript-types)
- Generated-api > dataModel.d.ts (https://docs.convex.dev/generated-api/data-model)
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@thick meteor i need all type my database
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
To get the types for all tables in your database, you can use the Doc type from the generated data model for each table. Here's an example:
import { Doc } from "../convex/_generated/dataModel";
function Component1(props: { data: Doc<"table1"> }) {
...
}
function Component2(props: { data: Doc<"table2"> }) {
...
}
// And so on for all tables in your database
In the example above, Doc<"table1"> and Doc<"table2"> represent the types of documents in the "table1" and "table2" tables respectively. You can replace "table1" and "table2" with the names of any tables in your database to get the types of documents in those tables.
Remember, you need to have defined a schema for your database. Once you've defined a schema, npx convex dev will produce new versions of dataModel.d.ts and server.d.ts with types based on your schema.
For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:
- Adding a schema (https://docs.convex.dev/production/best-practices/typescript#adding-a-schema)
- TypeScript types (https://docs.convex.dev/database/schemas#typescript-types)

@thick meteor i need create variable and write all my database type. not one - all my type
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
To create a variable that includes all the types of your database, you can create a type alias that includes the Doc type for each table in your database. Here's an example:
import { Doc } from "../convex/_generated/dataModel";
type AllDatabaseTypes = {
table1: Doc<"table1">,
table2: Doc<"table2">,
// Add more tables as needed
};
// Now you can use AllDatabaseTypes in your code
let myDatabase: AllDatabaseTypes;
In the example above, AllDatabaseTypes is a type that includes the types of documents in all tables in your database. You can replace "table1" and "table2" with the names of any tables in your database to include the types of documents in those tables.
Remember, you need to have defined a schema for your database. Once you've defined a schema, npx convex dev will produce new versions of dataModel.d.ts and server.d.ts with types based on your schema.
