# Supabase Platform Guide

Comprehensive guide for Supabase + Next.js full-stack development and Postgres performance optimization.

## When to Apply

Reference this skill when:
- Building full-stack apps with Supabase backend
- Writing SQL queries or designing schemas
- Implementing indexes or query optimization
- Setting up real-time features or pgvector for AI embeddings
- Configuring authentication, storage, or Edge Functions
- Reviewing database performance issues
- Configuring connection pooling or scaling
- Working with Row-Level Security (RLS)

## Quick Reference

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **PostgreSQL 16** | Full SQL, JSONB |
| **pgvector** | AI embeddings, vector search |
| **RLS** | Row Level Security |
| **Realtime** | Real-time subscriptions |
| **Auth** | Authentication, JWT |
| **Storage** | File storage |

## Setup

### Next.js Client

```bash
npm install @supabase/supabase-js @supabase/ssr
```

```typescript
// lib/supabase/client.ts
import { createBrowserClient } from '@supabase/ssr';

export function createClient() {
  return createBrowserClient(
    process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL!,
    process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY!
  );
}

// lib/supabase/server.ts
import { createServerClient } from '@supabase/ssr';
import { cookies } from 'next/headers';

export function createClient() {
  const cookieStore = cookies();

  return createServerClient(
    process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL!,
    process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY!,
    {
      cookies: {
        getAll() {
          return cookieStore.getAll();
        },
        setAll(cookies) {
          cookies.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
            cookieStore.set(name, value, options)
          );
        },
      },
    }
  );
}
```

## Database

### Table Creation

```sql
-- Users table
CREATE TABLE users (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  email TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  name TEXT NOT NULL,
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);

-- Posts table
CREATE TABLE posts (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  author_id UUID REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  title TEXT NOT NULL,
  content TEXT,
  published BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);

-- Index
CREATE INDEX posts_author_idx ON posts(author_id);
```

### CRUD Operations

```typescript
const supabase = createClient();

// Create
const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('posts')
  .insert({ title: 'Hello', content: 'World', author_id: userId })
  .select()
  .single();

// Read
const { data: posts } = await supabase
  .from('posts')
  .select('*, author:users(name, email)')
  .eq('published', true)
  .order('created_at', { ascending: false })
  .limit(10);

// Update
const { data } = await supabase
  .from('posts')
  .update({ title: 'Updated' })
  .eq('id', postId)
  .select()
  .single();

// Delete
const { error } = await supabase
  .from('posts')
  .delete()
  .eq('id', postId);
```

## Row Level Security (RLS)

```sql
-- Enable RLS
ALTER TABLE posts ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;

-- Read: Public posts are viewable by everyone
CREATE POLICY "Public posts are viewable"
  ON posts FOR SELECT
  USING (published = true);

-- Update: Users can only update their own posts
CREATE POLICY "Users can update own posts"
  ON posts FOR UPDATE
  USING (auth.uid() = author_id);

-- Delete: Users can only delete their own posts
CREATE POLICY "Users can delete own posts"
  ON posts FOR DELETE
  USING (auth.uid() = author_id);

-- Insert: Only authenticated users can create posts
CREATE POLICY "Authenticated can insert"
  ON posts FOR INSERT
  WITH CHECK (auth.uid() IS NOT NULL);
```

## pgvector (AI Embeddings)

```sql
-- Enable extension
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;

-- Embeddings table
CREATE TABLE documents (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
  content TEXT NOT NULL,
  embedding VECTOR(1536), -- OpenAI embedding dimensions
  metadata JSONB DEFAULT '{}'
);

-- HNSW index (fast search)
CREATE INDEX documents_embedding_idx
  ON documents USING hnsw (embedding vector_cosine_ops);

-- Similarity search function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION search_documents(
  query_embedding VECTOR(1536),
  match_count INT DEFAULT 5
)
RETURNS TABLE (id UUID, content TEXT, similarity FLOAT)
AS $$
  SELECT id, content, 1 - (embedding <=> query_embedding) AS similarity
  FROM documents
  ORDER BY embedding <=> query_embedding
  LIMIT match_count;
$$ LANGUAGE SQL;
```

```typescript
// Vector search
const { data } = await supabase.rpc('search_documents', {
  query_embedding: embedding,
  match_count: 5
});
```

## Realtime

```typescript
// Real-time subscription
const channel = supabase
  .channel('posts-changes')
  .on(
    'postgres_changes',
    { event: '*', schema: 'public', table: 'posts' },
    (payload) => {
      console.log('Change:', payload);
    }
  )
  .subscribe();

// Filtered subscription
const channel = supabase
  .channel('user-posts')
  .on(
    'postgres_changes',
    {
      event: 'INSERT',
      schema: 'public',
      table: 'posts',
      filter: `author_id=eq.${userId}`,
    },
    (payload) => {
      console.log('New post:', payload.new);
    }
  )
  .subscribe();

// Unsubscribe
supabase.removeChannel(channel);
```

## Authentication

```typescript
// Sign in
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithPassword({
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: 'password123',
});

// Sign up
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp({
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: 'password123',
});

// OAuth
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
  provider: 'google',
  options: { redirectTo: `${origin}/auth/callback` },
});

// Get current user
const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser();

// Sign out
await supabase.auth.signOut();
```

## Storage

```typescript
// Upload
const { data, error } = await supabase.storage
  .from('avatars')
  .upload(`${userId}/avatar.png`, file, {
    cacheControl: '3600',
    upsert: true,
  });

// Public URL
const { data: { publicUrl } } = supabase.storage
  .from('avatars')
  .getPublicUrl(`${userId}/avatar.png`);

// Delete
await supabase.storage
  .from('avatars')
  .remove([`${userId}/avatar.png`]);
```

## Edge Functions (Deno)

```typescript
// supabase/functions/hello/index.ts
import { serve } from 'https://deno.land/std@0.168.0/http/server.ts';
import { createClient } from 'https://esm.sh/@supabase/supabase-js@2';

serve(async (req) => {
  const supabase = createClient(
    Deno.env.get('SUPABASE_URL')!,
    Deno.env.get('SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY')!
  );

  const { data, error } = await supabase.from('posts').select('*');

  return new Response(JSON.stringify(data), {
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  });
});
```

```bash
# Deploy
supabase functions deploy hello
```
