Supabase is an open-source backend as a service (BaaS) platform that provides developers with a range of tools and services to build web and mobile applications quickly. It offers a range of features such as user authentication, database management, API hosting, and more.
To use Supabase with Node.js, you can use the Supabase JavaScript client library. This library provides an easy-to-use interface to interact with Supabase services from your Node.js application.
Here are the steps to get started with Supabase and Node.js:
Create a Supabase account and project. You can do this by signing up at app.supabase.io and creating a new project.
Install the Supabase JavaScript client library by running the following command in your Node.js project directory:
npm install @supabase/supabase-js
In your Node.js application, import the Supabase client and initialize it with your Supabase project URL and API key. Here's an example:
javascriptCopy codeconst { createClient } = require('@supabase/supabase-js') const supabaseUrl = 'https://your-project-url.supabase.co' const supabaseKey = 'your-api-key' const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey)
You can now use the Supabase client to interact with your Supabase services. For example, you can use the client's
auth
property to authenticate users:vbnetCopy codeconst { email, password } = req.body const { user, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({ email, password }) if (error) { res.status(401).json({ error: error.message }) } else { res.json({ user }) }
You can also use the client's
from
property to query your database:goCopy codeconst { data, error } = await supabase.from('todos').select('*') if (error) { res.status(500).json({ error: error.message }) } else { res.json({ todos: data }) }
These are just a few examples of what you can do with the Supabase client library in your Node.js application. For more information, check out the Supabase documentation at supabase.io/docs.
