How to Build Presentation Mode with Supabase

 

Step 1: Set Up a Supabase Account and Project

 

    • Create a free account on the Supabase website.
    • Once logged in, create a new project. This will set up your Supabase instance.
    • Take note of your project's API keys and URL, which you will need for authentication later.

 

Step 2: Create the Database Schema

 

    • Navigate to the “Table Editor” in the Supabase dashboard.
    • Create a new table to store presentation data. For instance, you might name it "presentations".
    • Add columns to the "presentations" table, such as “id” (UUID), “title” (text), “content” (text), and “created\_at” (timestamp).
    • Save the table schema.

 

Step 3: Configure Authentication

 

    • Head over to the “Authentication” section in the Supabase dashboard.
    • Configure the authentication settings to enable sign-ups, email confirmations, or other auth methods based on your requirements.
    • Create an authentication provider (e.g., email and password) and note the configuration details.

 

Step 4: Set Up Client-side Application

 

    • Create a new frontend project using your preferred framework (React, Vue, Angular, etc.).
    • Install the Supabase JavaScript client library in your project:
      npm install @supabase/supabase-js
    • Initialize Supabase in your application by importing and configuring the client:
      import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
      const supabaseUrl = 'https://xyzcompany.supabase.co';
      const supabaseAnonKey = 'your-anon-key';
      const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseAnonKey);
    • Add a basic authentication form for signing up and logging in users.

 

Step 5: CRUD Operations for Presentations

 

    • Create functions for creating, reading, updating, and deleting presentations using Supabase's client methods.
    • Example: Function to create a new presentation

        async function createPresentation(title, content) {
        const { data, error } = await supabase
        .from('presentations')
        .insert([ { title: title, content: content }, ]);
        return { data, error }; }

      Similarly, write functions for reading, updating, and deleting presentations.

 

Step 6: Build Presentation Mode UI

 

    • Create a new UI component for the presentation mode, which will take the data from the "presentations" table and display it in a full-screen view.
    • Use Supabase's real-time capabilities to automatically update the presentation view when data changes. This can be done using Supabase's subscription feature:
      supabase
      .from('presentations')
      .on('UPDATE', payload => {
      console.log('Change received!', payload);
      // Update the presentation mode UI here
      })
      .subscribe();

 

Step 7: Deploy and Test

 

    • Deploy your frontend application using Vercel, Netlify, or any other hosting service.
    • Test the entire flow to ensure that users can create, read, update, and delete presentations and that all changes reflect in real-time in the presentation mode.

 

Step 8: Implement Additional Features

 

    • Enhance the presentation mode UI with additional features like slide transitions, presenter notes, and audience interaction tools.
    • Add security rules in Supabase to ensure that data is secure and only accessible by authorized users.
    • Consider using Supabase's storage feature for storing images or other media files used in the presentations.

 

Conclusion

 

    • By following these steps, you should have a fully functional presentation mode application using Supabase.
    • Explore Supabase documentation for advanced features and optimizations as your application grows.
