supabase-js VS json-server

[Edge Functions] Custom domains and vanity domains support for Edge Functions. PR

First of all, the code you provided is not directly supabase, but is whatever is provided from the javascript library. The auth part is then redirecting to the gotrue-js library, and as seen here [Gotrue-JS#L238] it returns a `Promise` and that specific type is declared here Where we see it could be two return types. ```ts | { data: { user: User | null session: Session | null } error: null } | { data: { user: null session: null } error: AuthError }

Next up, Supabase released v2 of their JavaScript client library (supabase-js), which brought with it a number of developer experience type improvements, and streamlined how we use some of the API's. A number of methods were also deprecated in this new release, which we'll cover later in this guide.

We install the Supabase client library and also Chakra-UI which we will be using to build our React components.

The last part is the easiest as we simply need to connect Supabase to our Ionic app and call one function. Get started by bringing up a new Ionic app and install the Supabase JS client:

Under src/lib I have a .ts file where I create a supabase client inside.

First and foremost, the language and framework – Typescript & React. Typescript is a must for a project of this size. It provides safety and peace of mind as I iterate quickly to solve bugs and add new features. React is a by-product of the next two things I will mention, Next and Remix. Both of these are higher abstractions on top of React and supply incredible tooling to build fast server side rendered applications. Picking one or the other was driven by my database and auth provider, Supabase. I could have tried to make it work with Remix, but there was already an authentication helper for Next from the Supabase community so I decided on Next. Still using Remix for this current website since I do love Remix so much.

Have a look at https://postgrest.org/en/stable/. They do something in this direction and e.g. supabase.io uses them. Their approach is, if you have a database you have a REST API.

JSON Server

Our backend will be little more than a two-way translation layer between the database and the user interface (UI). Later in this post we will identify other responsibilities of a backend but our implementation will be kept simple to demonstrate the fundamental machinery and concepts. It is worth noting the backend comes in two parts, web server and application server. Both json-server and Express are able to facilitate these roles from the same URL. This is very useful for our tutorial because we do not have to configure the server to manage Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). It is quite typical for production systems to separate these server roles for all sorts of good reasons but for now it would just create an additional complication.

JSON-Server creates fake REST API with a minimum amount of configuration, it provides a simple way to create mock RESTful APIs and easily define the required endpoints, allows easy definition of the data schema in a JSON file and can serve as a reference for each figure in the project.

I thought about usingJson Server (hosting the repo with the words on Github to begin with), Googlesheets, or maybe Firestore (i would prefer not to use it ,to avoid extra costs just in case it gets a reasonable amount of users). It isnt a big app so i just want a simple solution for storing the words and fetching them.

There is https://github.com/typicode/json-server that is really useful for that matter
