Getting Started

Use Supabase with Vue

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

Create a Vue app using the npm init command.

1
npm init vue@latest 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 Vue app.

Navigate to the Vue app and install supabase-js.

1
cd my-app && npm install @supabase/supabase-js
4

Create the Supabase client

Create a /src/lib directory in your Vue app, create a file called supabaseClient.js and add the following code to initialize the Supabase client with your project URL and public API (anon) key:

Project URL
Anon key

import {  } from '@supabase/supabase-js'  export const  = ('https://<project>.supabase.co', '<your-anon-key>')
5

Query data from the app

Replace the existing content in your App.vue file with the following code.

<script setup>  import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue'  import { supabase } from './lib/supabaseClient'  const instruments = ref([])  async function getInstruments() {    const { data } = await supabase.from('instruments').select()    instruments.value = data  }  onMounted(() => {    getInstruments()  })  </script>  <template>    <ul>      <li v-for="instrument in instruments" :key="instrument.id">{{ instrument.name }}</li>    </ul>  </template>

Start the app

Start the app and go to http://localhost:5173 in a browser and you should see the list of instruments.

npm run dev
