Supabase Auth
Supabase Auth provides authentication integrated with PostgreSQL Row Level Security. Supports email/password, magic links, OTP, OAuth, and anonymous sign-in.
Quick Start
npm install @supabase/supabase-js
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
const supabase = createClient(
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL!,
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY!
)
Email/Password Authentication
Sign Up
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signUp({
email: 'user@example.com',
password: 'secure-password',
options: {
data: {
full_name: 'John Doe',
avatar_url: 'https://example.com/avatar.png'
},
emailRedirectTo: 'https://myapp.com/welcome'
}
})
if (error) {
console.error('Sign up error:', error.message)
} else {
console.log('Check email for confirmation')
}
Sign In
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithPassword({
email: 'user@example.com',
password: 'secure-password'
})
if (error) {
console.error('Sign in error:', error.message)
} else {
console.log('User:', data.user)
console.log('Session:', data.session)
}
Sign Out
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
// Sign out from all devices
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut({ scope: 'global' })
Magic Link (Passwordless)
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOtp({
email: 'user@example.com',
options: {
emailRedirectTo: 'https://myapp.com/auth/callback'
}
})
if (!error) {
console.log('Check email for magic link')
}
Phone/SMS Authentication
// Send OTP
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOtp({
phone: '+1234567890'
})
// Verify OTP
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.verifyOtp({
phone: '+1234567890',
token: '123456',
type: 'sms'
})
OAuth (Social Login)
Sign In with Provider
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
provider: 'google',
options: {
redirectTo: 'https://myapp.com/auth/callback',
scopes: 'email profile',
queryParams: {
access_type: 'offline',
prompt: 'consent'
}
}
})
// Providers: google, github, discord, facebook, twitter,
// apple, azure, gitlab, bitbucket, linkedin, notion, slack, spotify, twitch, zoom
Handle OAuth Callback
// app/auth/callback/route.ts (Next.js App Router)
import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server'
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
export async function GET(request: Request) {
const { searchParams, origin } = new URL(request.url)
const code = searchParams.get('code')
const next = searchParams.get('next') ?? '/'
if (code) {
const supabase = await createClient()
const { error } = await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)
if (!error) {
return NextResponse.redirect(`${origin}${next}`)
}
}
return NextResponse.redirect(`${origin}/auth/error`)
}
Anonymous Sign In
// Enable in Dashboard: Authentication > Providers > Anonymous
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInAnonymously()
// Convert anonymous to permanent user
const { error: linkError } = await supabase.auth.updateUser({
email: 'user@example.com',
password: 'new-password'
})
Session Management
Get Session
// Get current session
const { data: { session } } = await supabase.auth.getSession()
// Get current user
const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()
Listen to Auth Changes
const { data: { subscription } } = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange(
(event, session) => {
console.log('Auth event:', event)
// Events: SIGNED_IN, SIGNED_OUT, TOKEN_REFRESHED,
// USER_UPDATED, PASSWORD_RECOVERY
if (event === 'SIGNED_IN') {
console.log('User signed in:', session?.user)
}
if (event === 'SIGNED_OUT') {
console.log('User signed out')
}
}
)
// Cleanup
subscription.unsubscribe()
Refresh Session
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.refreshSession()
Password Recovery
Send Reset Email
const { error } = await supabase.auth.resetPasswordForEmail(
'user@example.com',
{
redirectTo: 'https://myapp.com/auth/reset-password'
}
)
Update Password
// After user clicks reset link and is redirected
const { error } = await supabase.auth.updateUser({
password: 'new-secure-password'
})
Update User
// Update email (sends confirmation)
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.updateUser({
email: 'new@example.com'
})
// Update password
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.updateUser({
password: 'new-password'
})
// Update metadata
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.updateUser({
data: {
full_name: 'Jane Doe',
avatar_url: 'https://example.com/new-avatar.png'
}
})
Next.js Integration
Server-Side Client
// lib/supabase/server.ts
import { createServerClient } from '@supabase/ssr'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
export async function createClient() {
const cookieStore = await cookies()
return createServerClient(
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL!,
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY!,
{
cookies: {
getAll() {
return cookieStore.getAll()
},
setAll(cookiesToSet) {
try {
cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
cookieStore.set(name, value, options)
)
} catch {
// Ignore in Server Components
}
},
},
}
)
}
Browser Client
// 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!
)
}
Middleware
// middleware.ts
import { createServerClient } from '@supabase/ssr'
import { NextResponse, type NextRequest } from 'next/server'
export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
let response = NextResponse.next({ request })
const supabase = createServerClient(
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL!,
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY!,
{
cookies: {
getAll() {
return request.cookies.getAll()
},
setAll(cookiesToSet) {
cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value }) =>
request.cookies.set(name, value)
)
response = NextResponse.next({ request })
cookiesToSet.forEach(({ name, value, options }) =>
response.cookies.set(name, value, options)
)
},
},
}
)
// Refresh session
await supabase.auth.getUser()
return response
}
export const config = {
matcher: ['/((?!_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico).*)'],
}
Protected Server Component
// app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server'
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'
export default async function Dashboard() {
const supabase = await createClient()
const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()
if (!user) {
redirect('/login')
}
return <div>Welcome, {user.email}</div>
}
React Hooks
Auth Context
// contexts/auth-context.tsx
'use client'
import { createContext, useContext, useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { User, Session } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/client'
type AuthContextType = {
user: User | null
session: Session | null
loading: boolean
}
const AuthContext = createContext<AuthContextType>({
user: null,
session: null,
loading: true
})
export function AuthProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null)
const [session, setSession] = useState<Session | null>(null)
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true)
const supabase = createClient()
useEffect(() => {
supabase.auth.getSession().then(({ data: { session } }) => {
setSession(session)
setUser(session?.user ?? null)
setLoading(false)
})
const { data: { subscription } } = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange(
(_event, session) => {
setSession(session)
setUser(session?.user ?? null)
}
)
return () => subscription.unsubscribe()
}, [])
return (
<AuthContext.Provider value={{ user, session, loading }}>
{children}
</AuthContext.Provider>
)
}
export const useAuth = () => useContext(AuthContext)
Usage
'use client'
import { useAuth } from '@/contexts/auth-context'
export default function Profile() {
const { user, loading } = useAuth()
if (loading) return <div>Loading...</div>
if (!user) return <div>Not logged in</div>
return <div>Hello, {user.email}</div>
}
Multi-Factor Authentication
Enroll TOTP
// Start enrollment
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.mfa.enroll({
factorType: 'totp',
friendlyName: 'Authenticator App'
})
// data contains:
// - id: factor ID
// - totp.qr_code: QR code SVG
// - totp.secret: manual entry secret
// - totp.uri: otpauth:// URI
// Verify enrollment
const { data: challenge } = await supabase.auth.mfa.challenge({
factorId: data.id
})
const { data: verify, error } = await supabase.auth.mfa.verify({
factorId: data.id,
challengeId: challenge.id,
code: '123456'
})
Challenge During Login
const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithPassword({
email: 'user@example.com',
password: 'password'
})
if (data.session === null && data.user) {
// MFA required
const factors = await supabase.auth.mfa.listFactors()
const totpFactor = factors.data.totp[0]
const { data: challenge } = await supabase.auth.mfa.challenge({
factorId: totpFactor.id
})
// Get code from user, then verify
const { data: session, error } = await supabase.auth.mfa.verify({
factorId: totpFactor.id,
challengeId: challenge.id,
code: userEnteredCode
})
}
Row Level Security Integration
Auth integrates seamlessly with RLS:
-- Users can only read their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users read own data"
ON profiles FOR SELECT
TO authenticated
USING ((SELECT auth.uid()) = user_id);
-- Check auth in policies
CREATE POLICY "Authenticated users insert"
ON posts FOR INSERT
TO authenticated
WITH CHECK (auth.uid() = author_id);
Admin Operations
Use service role for admin operations:
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
const supabaseAdmin = createClient(
process.env.SUPABASE_URL!,
process.env.SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY!,
{
auth: {
autoRefreshToken: false,
persistSession: false
}
}
)
// Admin operations
const { data, error } = await supabaseAdmin.auth.admin.listUsers()
// Create user
const { data, error } = await supabaseAdmin.auth.admin.createUser({
email: 'user@example.com',
password: 'password',
email_confirm: true
})
// Delete user
await supabaseAdmin.auth.admin.deleteUser(userId)
Best Practices
- Use SSR package -
@supabase/ssrfor server-side - Middleware for session refresh - Keep sessions alive
- Combine with RLS - Database-level security
- Handle auth state changes - Update UI reactively
- Use service role carefully - Only server-side, never expose

View allALWAYS load before starting any task. Provides persistent cross-session memory for learning from past work. Read memory at task start to avoid repeating mistakes; write memory at task end to record what worked. Covers decisions.json (architectural choices), patterns.json (proven approaches), failures.json (past errors and fixes), preferences.json (project conventions), and session activity logs.
MANDATORY before starting any task. Enforces the strict 3-call-per-cycle execution loop that prevents tool call sprawl. D: Single discover call with all queries batched. P: Plan in text with zero tool calls. B: Single batched precision call. Every DPB cycle targets exactly 3 tool calls. Covers dependency analysis, batch opportunities, scope estimation, and loop-back triggers.
Load PROACTIVELY when task involves investigating errors, diagnosing failures, or tracing unexpected behavior. Use when user says "debug this", "fix this error", "why is this failing", "trace this issue", or "it's not working". Covers error message and stack trace analysis, runtime debugging, network request inspection, state debugging, performance profiling, type error diagnosis, build failure resolution, and root cause analysis with memory-informed pattern matching against past failures.
Load PROACTIVELY when starting work on an unfamiliar codebase or setting up a new project. Use when user says "help me understand this codebase", "onboard me", "what does this project do", "set up my environment", or "map the architecture". Covers codebase structure analysis, architecture mapping, dependency auditing, convention and pattern detection, developer environment setup, and documentation of findings for rapid productive contribution.
