Overview

Blending Supabase, an impressive backend service, with Mustache.js, a minimal logic-less templating engine, lets developers quickly create dynamic web apps. Supabase offers scalable databases and real-time functionality, while Mustache.js makes it easy to render templates without putting logic directly into the HTML. This strong combo lets you pull data from Supabase and effortlessly fill Mustache.js templates with it, crafting seamless user experiences that are easy to maintain and run smoothly. Let’s dive into how to get this integration going.

How to use Supabase with Mustache.js for logic-less templates?

Step 1: Set up a Supabase project

  1. Head over to the Supabase website (https://supabase.io) and sign up for an account.
  2. Create a new project and go to the "Database" section.
  3. Set up your database schema by creating the tables and columns you need for your project.
  4. Jot down your Supabase URL and anon key; you'll need these for the front-end integration.

Step 2: Create an HTML template

  1. Create a new HTML file (index.html) in your project directory.

  2. Add this basic HTML structure:

    ```html

    Supabase with Mustache.js
    \`\`\`

Step 3: Include Supabase and Mustache.js

  1. Add the Supabase client library to your project by including this script tag before the closing </head> tag:

    ```html

    ```

  2. Make sure the Mustache.js library is already included via the script tag from the previous step.

Step 4: Write the Mustache.js Template

  1. Create a Mustache.js template inside your HTML file. Add this inside the <body> tag:

    ```html

    ```

  2. This template will loop through a list of users and display their names and emails.

Step 5: Fetch data from Supabase

  1. Create a new JavaScript file (app.js) and set up the Supabase client to fetch data from your database:

    ```javascript
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
    const { data, error } = await supabase
    .from('users')
    .select('*')

    if (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching data: ', error)
    } else {
    renderTemplate(data)
    }
    })

    function renderTemplate(data) {
    const template = document.getElementById('template').innerHTML
    const rendered = Mustache.render(template, { users: data })
    document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = rendered
    }
    ```

  2. This code will fetch user data from the users table in Supabase and render it using the Mustache.js template.

Step 6: Run your project

  1. Open your index.html file in a web browser.
  2. The user data from your Supabase database should be displayed, formatted according to your Mustache.js template.

Step 7: Style your template (Optional)

  1. Add CSS to style your output as needed. You can include a <style> tag within the <head> section of your index.html:

    ```html

    ```

  2. Save your changes and refresh the browser to see the styled output.

That wraps up the setup of using Supabase with Mustache.js for logic-less templates.
