Overview

Supabase is an open-source alternative to Firebase, offering backend services such as database management, authentication, and storage. Pairing Supabase with ASP.NET Core unlocks a formidable combo of a scalable backend and the strong features of Microsoft's web framework. Normally, this integration involves setting up Supabase's API endpoints and the client library within an ASP.NET Core project, dealing with environment variables securely, and using RESTful or RPC calls to work with data. When configured right, your app can tap into Supabase's features without a hitch for an easy developer journey.

How to use Supabase with ASP.NET Core?

Step 1: Create a Supabase Project

  1. Sign up and log in to Supabase.
  2. Click on "New Project".
  3. Fill in the required details like project name, password, and region.
  4. Once the project is created, note down the API URL and Anon key from the project settings.

Step 2: Set Up ASP.NET Core Project

  1. Open a terminal and create a new ASP.NET Core project using the command:
    ```shell
    dotnet new webapi -n SupabaseAspNet
    ```
  2. Navigate to the newly created project directory:
    ```shell
    cd SupabaseAspNet
    ```

Step 3: Add Supabase Client Library

  1. Install the Supabase .NET SDK using NuGet:
    ```shell
    dotnet add package Supabase
    ```
  2. Open Startup.cs or Program.cs (depending on your ASP.NET Core version) to configure the Supabase client.

Step 4: Configure Supabase in ASP.NET Core

  1. Add configuration settings in appsettings.json:
    ```json
    {
    "Supabase": {
    "Url": "YOUR_SUPABASE_URL",
    "AnonKey": "YOUR_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY"
    }
    }
    ```
  2. In Startup.cs or Program.cs, read the settings and initialize the Supabase client:
    ```csharp
    public class Startup
    {
    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

    public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
    Configuration = configuration;
    }

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
    var supabaseUrl = Configuration["Supabase:Url"];
    var supabaseAnonKey = Configuration["Supabase:AnonKey"];

    var supabase = new Supabase.Client(supabaseUrl, supabaseAnonKey);

    services.AddSingleton(supabase);
    services.AddControllers();
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
    {
    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
    app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
    }

    app.UseRouting();
    app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
    {
    endpoints.MapControllers();
    });
    }
    }
    ```

Step 5: Interact with Supabase in Controllers

  1. Create a new controller, for example SupabaseController.cs:
    ```csharp
    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
    using Supabase;

    [ApiController]
    [Route("[controller]")]
    public class SupabaseController : ControllerBase
    {
    private readonly Client _supabase;

    public SupabaseController(Client supabase)
    {
    _supabase = supabase;
    }

    [HttpGet("data")]
    public async Task GetData()
    {
    var data = await _supabase.From("your_table").Get();
    return Ok(data.Models);
    }
    }
    ```

Step 6: Run Your ASP.NET Core Application

  1. Execute the following command to run your application:
    ```shell
    dotnet run
    ```
  2. Access the endpoint in your browser or via Postman by navigating to https://localhost:[port]/supabase/data.

Remember to replace "your_table" with the actual table name in your Supabase database for the data fetching to work properly.
