Getting Started

Use Supabase with Next.js

Learn how to create a Supabase project, add some sample data, and query from a Next.js app.

Create a Supabase project

Go to database.new and create a new Supabase project.

Alternatively, you can create a project using the Management API:

# First, get your access token from https://supabase.com/dashboard/account/tokensexport SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-access-token"# List your organizations to get the organization IDcurl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ https://api.supabase.com/v1/organizations# Create a new project (replace <org-id> with your organization ID)curl -X POST https://api.supabase.com/v1/projects \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "organization_id": "<org-id>", "name": "My Project", "region": "us-east-1", "db_pass": "<your-secure-password>" }'

When your project is up and running, go to the Table Editor, create a new table and insert some data.

Alternatively, you can run the following snippet in your project's SQL Editor. This will create a instruments table with some sample data.

-- Create the tablecreate table instruments ( id bigint primary key generated always as identity, name text not null);-- Insert some sample data into the tableinsert into instruments (name)values ('violin'), ('viola'), ('cello');alter table instruments enable row level security;

Make the data in your table publicly readable by adding an RLS policy:

create policy "public can read instruments"on public.instrumentsfor select to anonusing (true);

Create a Next.js app

Use the create-next-app command and the with-supabase template, to create a Next.js app pre-configured with:

1
npx create-next-app -e with-supabase
3

Declare Supabase Environment Variables

Rename .env.example to .env.local and populate with your Supabase connection variables:

Project URL
Publishable key
Anon key
1
2
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=<SUBSTITUTE_SUPABASE_URL>NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<SUBSTITUTE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY>
4

Query Supabase data from Next.js

Create a new file at app/instruments/page.tsx and populate with the following.

This selects all the rows from the instruments table in Supabase and render them on the page.

Start the app

Run the development server, go to http://localhost:3000/instruments in a browser and you should see the list of instruments.
