Discover the easiest way to blend Supabase and Django with this detailed guide. Step-by-step instructions help merge the strengths of both platforms effortlessly.
Integrating Supabase with Django merges the real-time, scalable features of Supabase's database with the sturdy framework of Django. This pairing takes full advantage of PostgreSQL, allowing for smooth data handling and API management in a secure, scalable setup. The process? It involves setting up both Supabase and Django, configuring authentication, creating and managing databases, and syncing data between these two platforms. Key to building dynamic web applications is understanding how to seamlessly connect Supabase's backend services with Django's ORM and views.
requests
library so you can interact with the Supabase REST API:django-environ
to manage environment variables:Create a .env
file in the root directory of your Django project.
Add your Supabase API URL and API key to the .env
file:
```
SUPABASE_URL=
SUPABASE_KEY=
```
Load the .env
file in your settings.py
:
```python
import environ
env = environ.Env()
environ.Env.read_env()
SUPABASE_URL = env('SUPABASE_URL')
SUPABASE_KEY = env('SUPABASE_KEY')
```
Create a utility file to handle Supabase interactions, let's call it supabase_utils.py
:
```python
import requests
from django.conf import settings
SUPABASE_URL = settings.SUPABASE_URL
SUPABASE_KEY = settings.SUPABASE_KEY
headers = {
"apikey": SUPABASE_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": f"Bearer {SUPABASE_KEY}"
}
def fetch_from_supabase(endpoint):
url = f"{SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/{endpoint}"
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
return response.json()
def insert_to_supabase(endpoint, data):
url = f"{SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/{endpoint}"
response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
return response.json()
```
Import supabase_utils.py
into your Django views and use its functions to interact with Supabase:
```python
from django.http import JsonResponse
from .supabase_utils import fetch_from_supabase, insert_to_supabase
def fetch_data_view(request):
data = fetch_from_supabase('your_table_name')
return JsonResponse(data, safe=False)
def insert_data_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
data = request.POST.dict()
response = insert_to_supabase('your_table_name', data)
return JsonResponse(response, safe=False)
```
Map the new views to URLs in your urls.py
:
```python
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('fetch-data/', views.fetch_data_view, name='fetch_data'),
path('insert-data/', views.insert_data_view, name='insert_data'),
]
```
