Overview

Learn Supabase’s role in Plainform and the initialization of the Supabase client for database interactions.

Supabase powers Plainform database with a PostgreSQL instance, accessible via a pre-configured Supabase client initialized in the lib folder. This client simplifies interactions with your database, supporting queries, authentication, and storage, with environment variables validated by t3-env to ensure a secure and reliable setup.

By leveraging Supabase’s client, you can quickly integrate data-driven features into your Next.js application while maintaining compatibility with Prisma for type-safe database operations.

It supports:

  • Database Queries: Perform CRUD operations on your Supabase PostgreSQL tables, such as fetching or updating user data.
  • Authentication: (Optional) Manage user sign-ups, logins, and sessions, complementing or replacing Clerk if needed.
  • File Storage: (Optional) Upload and manage files in Supabase storage buckets, ideal for assets like user avatars or documents.
  • Real-Time Subscriptions: (Optional) Enable real-time data updates for features like live notifications or collaborative apps.
  • Row-Level Security: (Optional) Apply fine-grained access control to restrict data access based on user roles.
