Hi @ashen nimbus. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

To disable type checking in Convex, you can use the --typecheck=disable flag with the convex dev command. In your package.json scripts, you already have:

"dev:backend": "convex dev --typecheck=disable",

This is the correct way to disable type checking when running the Convex dev server. When you run npm run dev:backend, Convex will start without performing TypeScript type checks on your functions.

This approach is confirmed by Convex support staff, who recommend using `convex dev --typecheck=disable` to turn off type checking if you want faster iteration or are experiencing performance issues with type checking enabled Discord support thread.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
