Getting Started

Use Supabase with SolidJS

Learn how to create a Supabase project, add some sample data to your database, and query the data from a SolidJS app.

1

Create a Supabase project

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

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 countries table with some sample data.

SQL_EDITOR

_13
-- Create the table
_13
create table countries (
_13
id bigint primary key generated always as identity,
_13
name text not null
_13
);
_13
-- Insert some sample data into the table
_13
insert into countries (name)
_13
values
_13
('Canada'),
_13
('United States'),
_13
('Mexico');
_13
_13
alter table countries enable row level security;

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

SQL_EDITOR

_10
create policy "public can read countries"
_10
on public.countries
_10
for select to anon
_10
using (true);

2

Create a SolidJS app

Create a SolidJS app using the degit command.

Terminal

_10
npx degit solidjs/templates/js my-app

3

Install the Supabase client library

The fastest way to get started is to use the supabase-js client library which provides a convenient interface for working with Supabase from a SolidJS app.

Navigate to the SolidJS app and install supabase-js.

Terminal

_10
cd my-app && npm install @supabase/supabase-js

4

Query data from the app

In App.jsx, create a Supabase client using your project URL and public API (anon) key:

Project URL
Anon key

Add a getCountries function to fetch the data and display the query result to the page.

src/App.jsx

_21
import { createClient } from "@supabase/supabase-js";
_21
import { createResource, For } from "solid-js";
_21
_21
const supabase = createClient('https://<project>.supabase.co', '<your-anon-key>');
_21
_21
async function getCountries() {
_21
const { data } = await supabase.from("countries").select();
_21
return data;
_21
}
_21
_21
function App() {
_21
const [countries] = createResource(getCountries);
_21
_21
return (
_21
<ul>
_21
<For each={countries()}>{(country) => <li>{country.name}</li>}</For>
_21
</ul>
_21
);
_21
}
_21
_21
export default App;

5

Start the app

Start the app and go to http://localhost:3000 in a browser and you should see the list of countries.

Terminal

_10
npm run dev
