# Supabase + Next.js Skill
*Load with: base.md + supabase.md + typescript.md*
Next.js App Router patterns with Supabase Auth and Drizzle ORM.
**Sources:** [Supabase Next.js Guide](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth/server-side/nextjs) | [Drizzle + Supabase](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/drizzle)
---
## Core Principle
**Drizzle for queries, Supabase for auth/storage, server components by default.**
Use Drizzle ORM for type-safe database access. Use Supabase client for auth, storage, and realtime. Prefer server components; use client components only when needed.

const channel = supabase
.channel('posts')
.on(
'postgres_changes',
{ event: '*', schema: 'public', table: 'posts' },
(payload) => {
if (payload.eventType === 'INSERT') {
setPosts((prev) => [payload.new as Post, ...prev]);
} else if (payload.eventType === 'DELETE') {
setPosts((prev) => prev.filter((p) => p.id !== payload.old.id));
} else if (payload.eventType === 'UPDATE') {
setPosts((prev) =>
prev.map((p) => (p.id === payload.new.id ? payload.new as Post : p))
);
}
}
)
.subscribe();
return () => {
supabase.removeChannel(channel);
};

return (
<ul>
{posts.map((post) => (
<li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>

const handleOAuth = async (provider: 'google' | 'github') => {
const supabase = createClient();
await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({
provider,
options: {
redirectTo: `${window.location.origin}/auth/callback`,
},
});
};
return (
<div className="space-y-2">
<button onClick={() => handleOAuth('google')}>
Continue with Google
</button>
<button onClick={() => handleOAuth('github')}>
Continue with GitHub
</button>
</div>

## Sign Out
### Server Action
```typescript
// src/app/actions/auth.ts
'use server';
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';
import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server';
export async function signOut() {
const supabase = await createClient();
await supabase.auth.signOut();
redirect('/login');
}
```
### Sign Out Button
```typescript
'use client';
import { signOut } from '@/app/actions/auth';
export function SignOutButton() {
return (
<form action={signOut}>
<button type="submit">Sign Out</button>
</form>
);
}
```

## Anti-Patterns
- **Using Supabase client for DB queries** - Use Drizzle for type-safety
- **Fetching in client components** - Prefer server components
- **Not using middleware for auth** - Session refresh is critical
- **Calling `cookies()` synchronously** - Must await in Next.js 15+
- **Service key in client** - Never expose, server-only
- **Missing revalidatePath** - Always revalidate after mutations
- **Not handling auth errors** - Show user-friendly messages
This skill boots a Next.js App Router starter wired to Supabase for auth, storage, and realtime, with Drizzle ORM for type-safe Postgres queries. It prioritizes server components, secure server-side clients, and clear patterns for auth, middleware, and server actions. The setup is opinionated to accelerate secure, spec-driven web app development.
The stack uses Supabase clients: a browser client for UI interactions and a server client integrated with Next.js cookies for server components and middleware. Drizzle provides typed schema definitions and query helpers that run against the Postgres connection. Server actions handle authenticated mutations, middleware refreshes sessions and protects routes, and storage helpers manage avatar uploads and public URLs.
How do server and browser Supabase clients differ here?
Browser client uses NEXT_PUBLIC keys and is used in client components; server client is created with cookie integration for server components, enabling secure session-aware requests. Keep service-role keys only on the server.
Where should I put Drizzle schema and queries?
Place schema.ts and typed query functions under src/db. Export the drizzle client from src/db/index.ts so server actions and pages can import typed helpers consistently.
