Methods
indexes
▸ ** indexes**(): { indexDescriptor: string ; fields: string[] }[]
This API is experimental: it may change or disappear.
Returns indexes defined on this table. Intended for the advanced use cases of dynamically deciding which index to use for a query. If you think you need this, please chime in on ths issue in the Convex JS GitHub repo. https://github.com/get-convex/convex-js/issues/49
Returns
{ indexDescriptor: string ; fields: string[] }[]
Defined in
index
▸ index<IndexName, FirstFieldPath, RestFieldPaths>(name, indexConfig): TableDefinition<DocumentType, Expand<Indexes & Record<IndexName, [FirstFieldPath, ...RestFieldPaths[], "_creationTime"]>>, SearchIndexes, VectorIndexes>
Define an index on this table.
To learn about indexes, see Defining Indexes.
Type parameters
| Name | Type |
|---|---|
IndexName | extends string |
FirstFieldPath | extends any |
RestFieldPaths | extends ExtractFieldPaths<DocumentType>[] |
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | IndexName | The name of the index. |
indexConfig | Object | The index configuration object. |
indexConfig.fields | [FirstFieldPath, ...RestFieldPaths[]] | The fields to index, in order. Must specify at least one field. |
indexConfig.staged? | false | Whether the index should be staged. For large tables, index backfill can be slow. Staging an index allows you to push the schema and enable the index later. If staged is true, the index will be staged and will not be enabled until the staged flag is removed. Staged indexes do not block push completion. Staged indexes cannot be used in queries. |
Returns
TableDefinition<DocumentType, Expand<Indexes & Record<IndexName, [FirstFieldPath, ...RestFieldPaths[], "_creationTime"]>>, SearchIndexes, VectorIndexes>
A TableDefinition with this index included.

A TableDefinition with this index included.
Defined in
▸ index<IndexName, FirstFieldPath, RestFieldPaths>(name, indexConfig): TableDefinition<DocumentType, Indexes, SearchIndexes, VectorIndexes>
Define a staged index on this table.
For large tables, index backfill can be slow. Staging an index allows you to push the schema and enable the index later.
If staged is true, the index will be staged and will not be enabled
until the staged flag is removed. Staged indexes do not block push
completion. Staged indexes cannot be used in queries.

name | IndexName | The name of the index. |
indexConfig | Object | The index configuration object. |
