Use Supabase with Vue

<$Partial path="quickstart_db_setup.mdx" />

3. Create a Vue app

Create a Vue app using the npm init command.

npm init vue@latest my-app

4. Install Supabase's Agent Skills (optional)

Supabase's Agent Skills is a curated set of instructions that give your AI agent procedural knowledge about working with Supabase.

Install them so your AI coding agent can produce more accurate, reliable code using current Supabase patterns, such as authentication, server-side rendering, and database migrations, rather than relying solely on training data.

To install, run the following command in the root of your project:

npx skills add supabase/agent-skills

5. 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.

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

6. Declare Supabase environment variables

Create a .env.local file and populate with your Supabase connection variables that you can get from the helper below, or from the project Connect panel:

VITE_SUPABASE_URL=<SUBSTITUTE_SUPABASE_URL>
VITE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<SUBSTITUTE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY>

<$Partial path="api_settings.mdx" variables={{ "framework": "vuejs", "tab": "frameworks" }} />

7. 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:

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

const supabaseUrl = import.meta.env.VITE_SUPABASE_URL
const supabasePublishableKey = import.meta.env.VITE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY

export const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabasePublishableKey)

8. Query data from the app

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

<script setup>
import { onMounted, ref } 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>

9. 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
