Connect beautiful UI to real data. Supabase-first approach.
<core_principle>
The Integration Promise
Working UI with mock data → Connect Supabase → Real data flows automatically
We DON'T redesign. We DON'T add features. We connect what exists. </core_principle>
<default_to_action> NEVER ask:
- "Which database should I use?" → Supabase (our standard)
- "What's the schema?" → Derive from existing TypeScript types
- "What type of auth do you need?" → Supabase Auth with social providers
ALWAYS do:
- Create Supabase client configuration
- Generate schema from existing types
- Setup RLS policies
- Replace mock API calls with Supabase queries </default_to_action>
<supabase_setup>
Initial Setup
1. Install Dependencies
bashnpm install @supabase/supabase-js
2. Environment Variables
env# .env.local NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://xxxxx.supabase.co NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=eyJhbGc...
3. Client Configuration
typescript// src/lib/supabase.ts import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js' import { Database } from '@/types/supabase' const supabaseUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL! const supabaseKey = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY! export const supabase = createClient<Database>(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey)
4. Type Generation (after creating tables)
bashnpx supabase gen types typescript --project-id xxxxx > src/types/supabase.ts
</supabase_setup>
<schema_patterns>
Database Schema Patterns
Derive from TypeScript Types
typescript// Existing type from dev-engineer interface Product { id: string name: string description: string price: number stock: number category: string isActive: boolean createdAt: Date updatedAt: Date } // Becomes SQL
sql-- SQL for Supabase create table products ( id uuid default gen_random_uuid() primary key, name text not null, description text, price decimal(10,2) not null default 0, stock integer not null default 0, category text not null, is_active boolean not null default true, created_at timestamp with time zone default now(), updated_at timestamp with time zone default now() ); -- Auto-update updated_at create or replace function update_updated_at() returns trigger as $$ begin new.updated_at = now(); return new; end; $$ language plpgsql; create trigger products_updated_at before update on products for each row execute function update_updated_at();
Common Tables
sql-- Users (extends Supabase auth.users) create table profiles ( id uuid references auth.users(id) primary key, full_name text, avatar_url text, role text default 'user', created_at timestamp with time zone default now(), updated_at timestamp with time zone default now() ); -- Auto-create profile on signup create or replace function handle_new_user() returns trigger as $$ begin insert into profiles (id, full_name, avatar_url) values ( new.id, new.raw_user_meta_data->>'full_name', new.raw_user_meta_data->>'avatar_url' ); return new; end; $$ language plpgsql security definer; create trigger on_auth_user_created after insert on auth.users for each row execute function handle_new_user();
</schema_patterns>
<rls_patterns>
Row Level Security (RLS)
Always Enable RLS
sql-- Enable RLS on all tables alter table products enable row level security; alter table profiles enable row level security;
Common Policies
Public Read, Authenticated Write
sql-- Anyone can view products create policy "Products are viewable by everyone" on products for select using (true); -- Only authenticated users can insert create policy "Authenticated users can create products" on products for insert to authenticated with check (true); -- Only owners can update (if user_id column exists) create policy "Users can update own products" on products for update to authenticated using (user_id = auth.uid());
User-Owned Data
sql-- Users can only see their own data create policy "Users can view own orders" on orders for select to authenticated using (user_id = auth.uid()); create policy "Users can create own orders" on orders for insert to authenticated with check (user_id = auth.uid());
Role-Based Access
sql-- Admins can do everything create policy "Admins have full access" on products for all to authenticated using ( exists ( select 1 from profiles where profiles.id = auth.uid() and profiles.role = 'admin' ) );
</rls_patterns>
<auth_patterns>
Authentication
Setup Auth Provider
typescript// src/lib/auth.ts import { supabase } from './supabase' export async function signInWithEmail(email: string, password: string) { const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithPassword({ email, password, }) if (error) throw error return data } export async function signUp(email: string, password: string, fullName: string) { const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp({ email, password, options: { data: { full_name: fullName } } }) if (error) throw error return data } export async function signInWithGoogle() { const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({ provider: 'google', options: { redirectTo: `${window.location.origin}/auth/callback` } }) if (error) throw error return data } export async function signInWithLine() { const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({ provider: 'line' as any, // LINE needs custom setup options: { redirectTo: `${window.location.origin}/auth/callback` } }) if (error) throw error return data } export async function signOut() { const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut() if (error) throw error } export async function getCurrentUser() { const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser() return user }
Auth Context
tsx// src/providers/auth-provider.tsx 'use client' import { createContext, useContext, useEffect, useState } from 'react' import { User, Session } from '@supabase/supabase-js' import { supabase } from '@/lib/supabase' interface AuthContextType { user: User | null session: Session | null isLoading: boolean } const AuthContext = createContext<AuthContextType>({ user: null, session: null, isLoading: true, }) export function AuthProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null) const [session, setSession] = useState<Session | null>(null) const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true) useEffect(() => { // Get initial session supabase.auth.getSession().then(({ data: { session } }) => { setSession(session) setUser(session?.user ?? null) setIsLoading(false) }) // Listen for changes const { data: { subscription } } = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange( (_event, session) => { setSession(session) setUser(session?.user ?? null) } ) return () => subscription.unsubscribe() }, []) return ( <AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, session, isLoading }}> {children} </AuthContext.Provider> ) } export const useAuth = () => useContext(AuthContext)
Protected Routes (Next.js Middleware)
typescript// src/middleware.ts import { createMiddlewareClient } from '@supabase/auth-helpers-nextjs' import { NextResponse } from 'next/server' import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server' export async function middleware(req: NextRequest) { const res = NextResponse.next() const supabase = createMiddlewareClient({ req, res }) const { data: { session } } = await supabase.auth.getSession() // Protected routes if (!session && req.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith('/dashboard')) { return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', req.url)) } // Redirect logged-in users from auth pages if (session && (req.nextUrl.pathname === '/login' || req.nextUrl.pathname === '/register')) { return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/dashboard', req.url)) } return res } export const config = { matcher: ['/dashboard/:path*', '/login', '/register'] }
</auth_patterns>
<query_patterns>
Database Queries
CRUD Operations
typescript// src/lib/api/products.ts import { supabase } from '@/lib/supabase' import { Product, CreateProductInput, PaginatedResponse } from '@/types' export async function getProducts( page = 1, pageSize = 10, search?: string ): Promise<PaginatedResponse<Product>> { let query = supabase .from('products') .select('*', { count: 'exact' }) if (search) { query = query.ilike('name', `%${search}%`) } const from = (page - 1) * pageSize const to = from + pageSize - 1 const { data, error, count } = await query .range(from, to) .order('created_at', { ascending: false }) if (error) throw error return { data: data ?? [], total: count ?? 0, page, pageSize, totalPages: Math.ceil((count ?? 0) / pageSize), } } export async function getProduct(id: string): Promise<Product | null> { const { data, error } = await supabase .from('products') .select('*') .eq('id', id) .single() if (error) throw error return data } export async function createProduct(input: CreateProductInput): Promise<Product> { const { data, error } = await supabase .from('products') .insert(input) .select() .single() if (error) throw error return data } export async function updateProduct( id: string, input: Partial<Product> ): Promise<Product> { const { data, error } = await supabase .from('products') .update(input) .eq('id', id) .select() .single() if (error) throw error return data } export async function deleteProduct(id: string): Promise<void> { const { error } = await supabase .from('products') .delete() .eq('id', id) if (error) throw error }
Real-time Subscriptions
typescript// Subscribe to changes export function subscribeToProducts( callback: (payload: any) => void ) { return supabase .channel('products_changes') .on( 'postgres_changes', { event: '*', schema: 'public', table: 'products' }, callback ) .subscribe() } // Usage in component useEffect(() => { const channel = subscribeToProducts((payload) => { console.log('Change received!', payload) refetchProducts() }) return () => { supabase.removeChannel(channel) } }, [])
</query_patterns>
<storage_patterns>
File Storage
Upload Files
typescript// src/lib/storage.ts import { supabase } from './supabase' export async function uploadFile( bucket: string, path: string, file: File ): Promise<string> { const { data, error } = await supabase.storage .from(bucket) .upload(path, file, { cacheControl: '3600', upsert: false }) if (error) throw error // Get public URL const { data: { publicUrl } } = supabase.storage .from(bucket) .getPublicUrl(data.path) return publicUrl } export async function deleteFile(bucket: string, path: string): Promise<void> { const { error } = await supabase.storage .from(bucket) .remove([path]) if (error) throw error }
Image Upload Component
tsx// src/components/image-upload.tsx 'use client' import { useState } from 'react' import { uploadFile } from '@/lib/storage' import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button' import { Upload, X } from 'lucide-react' interface ImageUploadProps { onUpload: (url: string) => void bucket?: string } export function ImageUpload({ onUpload, bucket = 'images' }: ImageUploadProps) { const [isUploading, setIsUploading] = useState(false) const [preview, setPreview] = useState<string | null>(null) const handleUpload = async (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => { const file = e.target.files?.[0] if (!file) return setIsUploading(true) setPreview(URL.createObjectURL(file)) try { const path = `${Date.now()}-${file.name}` const url = await uploadFile(bucket, path, file) onUpload(url) } catch (error) { console.error('Upload failed:', error) setPreview(null) } finally { setIsUploading(false) } } return ( <div className="space-y-2"> {preview ? ( <div className="relative inline-block"> <img src={preview} alt="Preview" className="w-32 h-32 object-cover rounded" /> <button onClick={() => setPreview(null)} className="absolute -top-2 -right-2 bg-red-500 text-white rounded-full p-1" > <X className="h-4 w-4" /> </button> </div> ) : ( <label className="flex flex-col items-center justify-center w-32 h-32 border-2 border-dashed rounded cursor-pointer hover:border-primary"> <Upload className="h-8 w-8 text-slate-400" /> <span className="text-xs text-slate-500 mt-2">Upload image</span> <input type="file" accept="image/*" onChange={handleUpload} className="hidden" disabled={isUploading} /> </label> )} </div> ) }
