# Convex

> Integrate Hexclave with Convex

This guide shows how to integrate Hexclave with Convex.

### 1) Create a Convex + Next.js app

First, initialize a new Convex + Next.js app:

```bash title="Terminal" theme={null}
npm create convex@latest # make sure to choose "Next.js" and "No auth" when asked — we will add auth later
```

Then, run `npx convex dev` to start the Convex backend, and `npm run dev` to start the development server.

### 2) Install Hexclave

Next, open your app directory and follow the [Hexclave setup prompt](/guides/getting-started/setup). Choose **Next.js** and **Convex** in the setup builder, then copy the generated prompt into your coding agent.

### 3) Create a Hexclave project

[Create a new Hexclave project](https://app.hexclave.com). Get the project ID & API key environment variables from the dashboard.

* Set the `.env.local` file to the environment variables.
* In Convex, go to the dashboard of your project's deployment, and also set the environment variables there.

### 4) Update code

Next, update or create a file in `convex/auth.config.ts`:

```ts theme={null}
import { getConvexProvidersConfig } from "@hexclave/js";  // Vanilla JS
// or: import { getConvexProvidersConfig } from "@hexclave/react";  // React
// or: import { getConvexProvidersConfig } from "@hexclave/next";  // Next.js

export default {
  providers: getConvexProvidersConfig({
    projectId: process.env.HEXCLAVE_PROJECT_ID,  // or: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_HEXCLAVE_PROJECT_ID
  }),
}
```

Then, update your Convex client to use Hexclave:

```ts theme={null}
convexClient.setAuth(hexclaveClientApp.getConvexClientAuth({}));  // browser JS
convexReactClient.setAuth(hexclaveClientApp.getConvexClientAuth({}));  // React
convexHttpClient.setAuth(hexclaveClientApp.getConvexHttpClientAuth({ tokenStore: requestObject }));  // HTTP, see Hexclave docs for more information on tokenStore
```

### 5) Done!

Done! Now, you'll be able to access Hexclave's functionality from your frontend & backend:

```ts theme={null}
// MyPage.tsx
export function MyPage() {
  // see https://docs.hexclave.com for more information on how to use Hexclave
  const user = useUser();
  return <div>Your email is {user.email}</div>;
}

// myFunctions.ts
export const myQuery = query({
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    // In queries & mutations, use the special `getPartialUser` function to get user info
    const obj = await hexclaveServerApp.getPartialUser({ from: "convex", ctx });
    return JSON.stringify(obj);
  },
});
```
