Getting Started

If you prefer video format: @Milan Jovanović has created a video crash course to get started!

Care has been taken to mirror, as much as possible, the Javascript Supabase API. As this is an unofficial client, there are times where this client lags behind the offical client. If there are missing features, please open an issue or pull request!

1. To get started, create a new project in the Supabase Admin Panel.
2. Grab your Supabase URL and Supabase Public Key from the Admin Panel (Settings -> API Keys).
3. Initialize the client!

Note: supabase-csharp has some APIs that require the service_key rather than the public_key (for instance: the administration of users, bypassing database roles, etc.). If you are using the service_key be sure it is not exposed client side. Additionally, if you need to use both a service account and a public/user account, please do so using a separate client instance for each.

Note for Projects defaulting to System.Text.Json (i.e. Blazor WASM):

You will need to install NewtonsoftJson support:

dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson --version 7.0.5

And include the following in your initialization code:

builder.Services.AddControllers().AddNewtonsoftJson();

Initializing a Client

Initializing a barebones client is pretty simple.

var supabase = new Supabase.Client(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_KEY);
await supabase.InitializeAsync();

Or, using options:

var options = new SupabaseOptions
{
    AutoConnectRealtime = true
};
var supabase = new Supabase.Client(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_KEY, options);

// Calling InitializeAsync will automatically attempt a socket connection if specified in the options.
await supabase.InitializeAsync();

Using the Client

As for actually using the client, each service is listed as a property on Supabase.Client. Some services have helpers to make interactions easier. Properties are provided for every client in the event that advanced customization of the client is needed.

1. Supabase.Postgrest
   • Is better accessed using supabase.From<ModelName>() as it provides a wrapper class with some helpful accessors (see below)
2. Supabase.Realtime
   • If used for listening to postgres_changes can be accessed using: supabase.From<ModelName>().On(listenerType, (sender, response) => {})
   • Otherwise, use Supabase.Realtime.Channel("channel_name") for Broadcast and Presence listeners.

// Get the Auth Client
var auth = supabase.Auth;

// Get the Postgrest Client for a Model
var table = supabase.From<TModel>();

// Invoke an RPC Call
await supabase.Rpc("hello_world", null);

// Invoke a Supabase Function
await supabase.Functions.Invoke("custom_function");

// Get the Storage Client
var storageBucket = supabase.Storage.From("bucket_name");

// Use syntax for broadcast, presence, and postgres_changes
var realtime = supabase.Realtime.Channel("room_1");

// Alternatively, shortcut syntax for postgres_changes
await supabase.From<TModel>().On(ListenType.All, (sender, response) =>
{
    switch (response.Event)
    {
        case Constants.EventType.Insert:
            break;
        case Constants.EventType.Update:
            break;
        case Constants.EventType.Delete:
            break;
    }

    Debug.WriteLine($"[{response.Event}]:{response.Topic}:{response.Payload.Data}");
});

Notes

• Be aware that many of the supabase features require permissions for proper access from a client. This is especially true for realtime, postgres, and storage. If you are having problems getting the client to pull data, verify that you have proper permissions for the logged in user.
• Connection to Supabase.Realtime is, by default, not enabled automatically, this can be changed in options.
• When logging in using the Supabase.Auth (Gotrue) client, state is managed internally. The currently logged in user's token will be passed to all the Supabase features automatically (via header injection).
• Token refresh enabled by default and is handled by a timer on the Gotrue client.
• Client libraries listed above have additional information in their readme files.

Of course, there are options available to customize the client. Which can be found in Supabase.SupabaseOptions.

Initializing a Client (with Gotrue/Auth Session Persistence)

You can specify a session handler to persist user sessions in your app. For example:

CustomSessionHandler.cs

class CustomSessionHandler : IGotrueSessionPersistence<Session>
{
    public void SaveSession(Session session)
    {
        // Persist Session in Filesystem or in browser storage
        // JsonConvert.SerializeObject(session) will be helpful here!
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public void DestroySession()
    {
        // Destroy Session on Filesystem or in browser storage
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public Session LoadSession()
    {
        // Retrieve Session from Filesystem or from browser storage
        // JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TSession>(value) will be helpful here!
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Then initialize using the specified handler:

Main.cs

var options = new SupabaseOptions
{
    // ....
    SessionHandler = new CustomSessionHandler()
};

var supabase = new Supabase.Client(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_KEY, options);

// Calling InitializeAsync will automatically invoke the SessionHandler to setup the internal session state
await supabase.InitializeAsync();
