How to implement email verification in Supabase?

Step 1: Set Up Supabase Project

  1. Head over to the Supabase website. Sign in or create an account if you don't have one yet.
  2. Start a new project. Make sure to jot down the Project URL and anon key from the project's settings. You'll need these later.

Step 2: Configure Email Provider

  1. In your Supabase project dashboard, find the "Authentication" section.
  2. Under "Settings", pick "Email" as your authentication provider.
  3. Make sure the "Enable Signups" button is switched on.
  4. If you want, you can tweak the email template for verification emails to fit your brand.
  5. Don't forget to save the settings.

Step 3: Set Redirect URLs (Optional)

  1. Still in the "Authentication" section, go to the "Redirect URLs" tab.
  2. Enter the URLs where users should be sent after they verify their emails. This is handy for directing users to specific pages or handling post-verification setup.

Step 4: Integrate Supabase Auth in Your Application

  1. First, install the Supabase client in your project:
    ```bash
    npm install @supabase/supabase-js
    ```

  2. Then, initialize the Supabase client in your code:
    ```javascript
    import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

    const supabaseUrl = 'https://your-project.supabase.co'
    const supabaseAnonKey = 'your-anon-key'

    const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseAnonKey)
    ```

Step 5: Create Sign-Up Form

  1. Build a sign-up form in your front-end application:
    ```html

    \`\`\`
  2. Add an event listener to handle sign-up with email verification:
    ```javascript
    const signupForm = document.getElementById('signup-form');
    signupForm.addEventListener('submit', async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    const email = document.getElementById('email').value;
    const password = document.getElementById('password').value;

    try {
    const { user, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp({
    email: email,
    password: password
    });

    if (error) throw error;
    alert('Check your email for the verification link!');
    } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error signing up:', error.message);
    alert(error.message);
    }
    });
    ```

Step 6: Handle Email Verification

  1. Create the page for email verification redirects.
  2. When a user clicks the email verification link, Supabase will send them to the specified URL where your app can confirm the email verification.

Step 7: Customize Email Verification Process (Optional)

  1. If needed, customize the success or error handling process after verification is done.
  2. Use user metadata if you need to store any extra user data upon verification.

Implementing email verification in Supabase ensures secure user authentication for your app. Follow these steps closely to set up and integrate email verification smoothly into your project.
