Discover a clear guide on integrating Supabase with your Flutter app. Covering everything from setup to authentication and database operations, ensuring a seamless backend experience.
Supabase, an alternative to Firebase, is open-source and offers backend services. It has a real-time database and user authentication that integrates smoothly with Flutter. To use Supabase with Flutter, set up a project in Supabase and configure the dependencies in the Flutter app. Next, implement Supabase's API for handling data and auth. This enables developers to tap into Supabase’s strengths while crafting cross-platform apps with Flutter. Basic Flutter know-how and some understanding of backend services will be needed.
pubspec.yaml
file in your Flutter project.flutter pub get
to pull in the dependencies.Create a new Dart file, let's call it supabase_service.dart
.
Set up the Supabase client with your project's URL and API key:
```dart
import 'package:supabase/supabase.dart';
class SupabaseService {
final SupabaseClient client;
SupabaseService(String supabaseUrl, String supabaseKey)
: client = SupabaseClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey);
// Additional methods to interact with Supabase
}
final supabaseService = SupabaseService('YOUR_SUPABASE_URL', 'YOUR_SUPABASE_KEY');
```
Add methods for user authentication (sign-up and sign-in) in the supabase_service.dart
file:
```dart
class SupabaseService {
final SupabaseClient client;
SupabaseService(String supabaseUrl, String supabaseKey)
: client = SupabaseClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey);
Future
final response = await client.auth.signUp(email, password);
return response;
}
Future
final response = await client.auth.signIn(email: email, password: password);
return response;
}
}
final supabaseService = SupabaseService('YOUR_SUPABASE_URL', 'YOUR_SUPABASE_KEY');
```
Create a simple Flutter UI to let users sign up and sign in:
```dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Supabase with Flutter',
theme: ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: SignUpPage(),
);
}
```
Create SignUpPage
and SignInPage
widgets and use the methods from the SupabaseService
:
```dart
class SignUpPage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_SignUpPageState createState() => _SignUpPageState();
}
class _SignUpPageState extends State
final _emailController = TextEditingController();
final _passwordController = TextEditingController();
void _signUp() async {
final response = await supabaseService.signUp(
_emailController.text,
_passwordController.text,
);
if (response.error == null) {
// Handle user signed up successfully
} else {
// Handle error
}
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Sign Up'),
),
body: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
child: Column(
children: [
TextField(
controller: _emailController,
decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Email'),
),
TextField(
controller: _passwordController,
decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Password'),
obscureText: true,
),
ElevatedButton(
onPressed: _signUp,
child: Text('Sign Up'),
),
TextButton(
onPressed: () {
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => SignInPage()),
);
},
child: Text('Already have an account? Sign In'),
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
class SignInPage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_SignInPageState createState() => _SignInPageState();
}
class _SignInPageState extends State
final _emailController = TextEditingController();
final _passwordController = TextEditingController();
void _signIn() async {
final response = await supabaseService.signIn(
_emailController.text,
_passwordController.text,
);
if (response.error == null) {
// Handle user signed in successfully
} else {
// Handle error
}
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Sign In'),
),
body: Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
child: Column(
children: [
TextField(
controller: _emailController,
decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Email'),
),
TextField(
controller: _passwordController,
decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: 'Password'),
obscureText: true,
),
ElevatedButton(
onPressed: _signIn,
child: Text('Sign In'),
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
```
Make sure the Navigator is used effectively to switch between SignUpPage
and SignInPage
