+# Users and Authentication Example App
+
+This example demonstrates how to add users and authentication to a basic chat
+app. It uses [Descope](https://descope.com) for authentication.
+
+Users are initially presented with a "Log In" button. After user's log in, their
+information is persisted to a `users` table. When users send messages, each
+message is associated with the user that sent it. Lastly, users can log out with
+a "Log Out" button.
+
+## Running the App
+
+Because this app uses authentication, it requires a bit of an additional setup.
+
+Follow these instructions https://docs.descope.com/frameworks/convex/ to setup Descope with
+Convex. You will have to update the client in `main.tsx` and the server in
+`auth.config.js`.

+# Welcome to your Convex functions directory!
+
+Write your Convex functions here.
+See https://docs.convex.dev/functions for more.
+
+A query function that takes two arguments looks like:
+
+```ts
+// functions.js
+import { query } from "./_generated/server";
+import { v } from "convex/values";
+
+export const myQueryFunction = query({
+  // Validators for arguments.
+  args: {
+    first: v.number(),
+    second: v.string(),
+  },
+
+  // Function implementation.
+  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
+    // Read the database as many times as you need here.
+    // See https://docs.convex.dev/database/reading-data.
+    const documents = await ctx.db.query("tablename").collect();
+
+    // Arguments passed from the client are properties of the args object.
+    console.log(args.first, args.second);
+
+    // Write arbitrary JavaScript here: filter, aggregate, build derived data,
+    // remove non-public properties, or create new objects.
+    return documents;
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Using this query function in a React component looks like:
+
+```ts
+const data = useQuery(api.functions.myQueryFunction, {
+  first: 10,
+  second: "hello",
+});
+```
+
+A mutation function looks like:
+
+```ts
+// functions.js
+import { mutation } from "./_generated/server";
+import { v } from "convex/values";
+
+export const myMutationFunction = mutation({
+  // Validators for arguments.
+  args: {
+    first: v.string(),
+    second: v.string(),
+  },
+
+  // Function implementation.
+  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
+    // Insert or modify documents in the database here.
+    // Mutations can also read from the database like queries.
+    // See https://docs.convex.dev/database/writing-data.
+    const message = { body: args.first, author: args.second };
+    const id = await ctx.db.insert("messages", message);
+
+    // Optionally, return a value from your mutation.
+    return await ctx.db.get(id);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Using this mutation function in a React component looks like:
+
+```ts
+const mutation = useMutation(api.functions.myMutationFunction);
+function handleButtonPress() {
+  // fire and forget, the most common way to use mutations
+  mutation({ first: "Hello!", second: "me" });
+  // OR
+  // use the result once the mutation has completed
+  mutation({ first: "Hello!", second: "me" }).then((result) =>
+    console.log(result)
+  );
+}
+```
+
+Use the Convex CLI to push your functions to a deployment. See everything
+the Convex CLI can do by running `npx convex -h` in your project root
+directory. To learn more, launch the docs with `npx convex docs`.
