How to use Supabase with RedwoodJS?

Prerequisites

Before diving into setting up Supabase with RedwoodJS, make sure you've got Node.js and yarn installed on your computer. Also, don't forget to have a Supabase account ready.

Step 1: Create a new RedwoodJS application

Open up your terminal and run the command yarn create redwood-app followed by the name you want for your project. This will create a new RedwoodJS app for you.

yarn create redwood-app your-redwood-app

Now, navigate into your new RedwoodJS app directory.

cd your-redwood-app

Step 2: Install Supabase

Next, you'll need to install @supabase/supabase-js using yarn. This is the client library that lets you interact with Supabase.

yarn add @supabase/supabase-js

Step 3: Setup Supabase Client

Head over to your src/lib directory and create a new file called supabase.js. This file will set up the Supabase client. Import the 'createClient' function from '@supabase/supabase-js' and initialize the client with your Supabase URL and public anonymous key.

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

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

Step 4: Set environment variables

In the root of your project, create a .env file and add your Supabase URL and public anonymous key there.

SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_url
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your_supabase_anonymous_key

Step 5: Use Supabase in your RedwoodJS application

Now you can start using Supabase in your RedwoodJS app. In your services or components, import the Supabase client from the supabase.js file in the src/lib directory. You can then use it to interact with your Supabase database.

import { supabase } from 'src/lib/supabase'

export const someFunction = async () => {
  const { data, error } = await supabase
    .from('yourTable')
    .select('columnName')
}

And there you have it! This is how you can set up and use Supabase within a RedwoodJS project. With these steps, you can now take advantage of Supabase's features like authentication, storage, functions, and its Postgres database in your RedwoodJS app.
