Overview

Combining Supabase with Nuxt.js lets developers harness the power of a backend-as-a-service, paired with a feature-rich, server-side rendered Vue.js framework. Supabase offers real-time databases, authentication, and storage services. This makes it an excellent choice for back-end functionality. On the other hand, Nuxt.js is famous for its performance and easy setup, simplifying front-end development. Joining these two can speed up development, improve scalability, and make deploying web apps smoother. Typically, this setup involves a few key steps: initial configuration, setting up the Supabase client, managing authentication states, and doing CRUD operations.

  3. Once you're in, create a new project by following the steps they give you.
  4. Make sure to jot down the API URL and Anon Key from the project settings. You'll need these later.

Step 2: Set Up a Nuxt.js Project

  1. Make sure Node.js is installed on your computer.
  2. Open up a terminal and run npx create-nuxt-app <your-project-name>.
  3. Follow the prompts to set up your new Nuxt.js project. It's pretty straightforward.

Step 3: Install the Supabase Client

  1. Navigate to your Nuxt.js project directory in the terminal.
  2. Run npm install @supabase/supabase-js to get the Supabase client installed.

Step 4: Configure Environment Variables

  1. Create a .env file in the root directory of your Nuxt.js project.
  2. Add your Supabase credentials to the .env file:
    ```env
    SUPABASE_URL=
    SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
    ```

Step 5: Set Up a Supabase Plugin in Nuxt.js

  1. Create a new directory named plugins in your Nuxt.js project root if it’s not already there.

  2. Inside the plugins directory, create a new file named supabase.js.

  3. Add this code to supabase.js:
    ```js
    import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

    const supabaseUrl = process.env.SUPABASE_URL
    const supabaseAnonKey = process.env.SUPABASE_ANON_KEY
    const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseAnonKey)

    export default ({ app }, inject) => {
    inject('supabase', supabase)
    }
    ```

Step 6: Register the Plugin

  1. Open nuxt.config.js in your project root.
  2. Register the Supabase plugin by adding it to the plugins array:
    ```js
    export default {
    // ... other configurations
    plugins: ['~/plugins/supabase.js'],
    }
    ```

Step 7: Use Supabase in Components or Pages

  1. You can now access the Supabase client from any component or page.
  2. Here's an example of how to use it in a Nuxt.js page:
    ```vue ```

Step 8: Run Your Application

  1. In the terminal, run npm run dev to start the Nuxt.js development server.
  2. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to see your application in action.
