Convex Ents: Manage your document relationships

Convex Ents is a library designed for the Convex platform, aimed at simplifying the management of document relationships in databases by providing functionalities such as easier modeling and querying of related documents, mapping and filtering of database entries, and ensuring unique field values. It allows for defining default values to facilitate schema evolution and supports various deletion methods—including cascading, soft, and scheduled deletions—to handle related document relationships effectively. The library draws parallels with ORMs like Prisma and Drizzle, making it accessible for users familiar with these tools. While Convex Ents facilitates these tasks through a more streamlined and efficient approach, all of these capabilities can still be achieved using basic Convex features. Despite being in a maintenance mode where no active feature development is planned, Convex Ents can be further customized or forked by users to fit specific needs, and it serves as an example of the potential abstractions possible on the Convex platform.
