Sep 1, 20252025-09 Monthly summary: Delivered a stability improvement for the convex-helpers repository by refining the CI workflow to only diff the convex directory. This prevents CI failures triggered by uncommitted changes elsewhere or in generated code after code generation, aligning with codegen workflows. The change is tied to commit c98a9031a395692f60e3f1970624112658fc5a37 ("don't require fully clean git after codegen").

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for get-convex/convex-helpers: Delivered comprehensive code quality and tooling improvements, stronger type system and safer APIs, robust pagination support, and expanded tests and documentation. Achievements span ESLint configuration, code formatting, and TS config standardization; literals typing enhancements and clearer validator names with partial union typing support; pagination typings and a critical edge-case fix for loading-more on the last page; new examples (streams) and a new module (pkg-pr-new); expanded tests for partial types, pick/omit, and union types, plus documentation improvements. Build and CI readiness were enhanced with a single tsconfig, pre-lint builds, and npm packaging/versioning updates. Addressed key bugs in pagination loading state and unknown result handling, refined import paths, and stabilized test suites. These changes improve reliability, developer velocity, and business value by enabling safer, faster feature delivery and easier maintenance.

May 1, 20252025-05 Monthly summary for get-convex/convex-helpers: This period delivered foundational session management capabilities, API clarity improvements, and broader quality and packaging work that collectively enhance reliability and developer productivity. Key work includes introducing ConvexSessionClient to manage session behavior, experimenting with lazy session ID support (later reverted for stability), renaming the client API/classes for clarity, and adding tests around the new client features and session handling. Also implemented React session ID synchronization and added a browser entrypoint to inject ConvexClient args to reduce duplication. Packaging and documentation improvements include npm version bumps across alpha releases and an explicit changelog workflow, along with docstrings and readme updates. Data handling and validation advances encompass a standard schema, validators helper, and document parsing enhancements, complemented by TypeScript build helpers and test coverage improvements. Performance gains include caching usePaginatedQuery results. Business impact includes more reliable session behavior, smoother React integration, faster onboarding for new developers, and improved deployment hygiene across the project.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 highlights for get-convex/convex-helpers focused on cross-tool interoperability, testability, and release readiness. Key outcomes include introducing a ConvexToZod type alias and Zod preprocess mapping to enable seamless validation interoperability between Convex and Zod, paired with a targeted revert of Zod preprocessing changes to restore stability while planning a safer reintroduction. Strengthened testing infrastructure with Vitest configuration, enhanced runtime assertions, and initial test coverage, plus cleanup of legacy test config. Additionally, extensive dependency upgrades and release tooling updates were implemented, including TypeScript alignment, package-lock updates, and refreshed release scripts to improve consistency and developer onboarding. Overall impact: reduced risk in validation integration, faster and more reliable releases, and improved maintainability of Convex tooling.
