Step 1: Setting Up Supabase Account

• Create an account on the Supabase website by visiting https://supabase.io
• Once registered, you'll receive an email verification link. Click on it to verify your email address.
• Log in to your Supabase dashboard using your credentials.
• Create a new project by clicking on the "New Project" button.
• Assign a name to your project and select the database region.
• Set a strong database password and wait for the project setup to complete.

Step 2: Configuring Database Tables

• Navigate to the "Table Editor" in your Supabase project dashboard.
• Create a new table called "Budgets" with the following fields:
  - id: UUID, primary key
  - user\_id: UUID, foreign key to Users table
  - budget\_name: Text
  - amount: Numeric
  - created\_at: Timestamp with default value of now()

Step 3: Setting Up Authentication

• Navigate to the "Authentication" tab in your Supabase dashboard.
• By default, email sign-ups and sign-ins should be enabled, but verify that they are.
• Consider enabling additional providers if needed, such as Google or GitHub, from the "Providers" tab.
• Use the API keys provided in the "API" tab for integrating authentication in your application.

Step 4: Implementing Backend Logic

• Install Supabase client library in your project (e.g., via npm: `npm install @supabase/supabase-js`).
• Initialize the Supabase client in your backend code:
  \`\`\`javascript import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'; const supabaseUrl = 'YOUR_SUPABASE_URL'; const supabaseKey = 'YOUR_SUPABASE_ANON\_KEY'; const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey); \`\`\`
  • Implement APIs for creating, reading, updating, and deleting budget records. For example, to create a budget:
    \`\`\`javascript async function createBudget(userId, budgetName, amount) { const { data, error } = await supabase .from('Budgets') .insert([{ user_id: userId, budget_name: budgetName, amount }]); if (error) throw error; return data; } \`\`\`

   

  Step 5: Creating User Interface

   

  • Design a user interface where users can log in, log out, and manage their budgets.
  • Integrate Supabase authentication within the UI:
    \`\`\`javascript async function signIn(email, password) { const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({ email, password }); if (error) throw error; return { user, session }; } \`\`\`
    • Set up forms to create and view budget records and integrate them with the backend APIs.

     

    Step 6: Testing and Deployment

     

    • Thoroughly test the application to ensure users can sign up, sign in, create, update, and delete budgets.
    • Debug any issues and ensure data integrity in the database.
    • Deploy the application to a hosting provider of your choice, using environment variables to protect Supabase keys.

     

    Conclusion

     

    • Review your project security rules and ensure only authenticated users can access their specific budget records.
    • Regularly monitor your database and application logs for any unusual activity or errors.
    • Continue iterating on the project, adding features like budget categorization, financial reports, and more.
