Getting Started

Use Supabase with NuxtJS

Learn how to create a Supabase project, add some sample data to your database, and query the data from a NuxtJS 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 countries table with some sample data.

SQL_EDITOR

_13
-- Create the table
_13
create table countries (
_13
id bigint primary key generated always as identity,
_13
name text not null
_13
);
_13
-- Insert some sample data into the table
_13
insert into countries (name)
_13
values
_13
('Canada'),
_13
('United States'),
_13
('Mexico');
_13
_13
alter table countries enable row level security;

Make the data in your table publicly readable by adding an RLS policy:

SQL_EDITOR

_10
create policy "public can read countries"
_10
on public.countries
_10
for select to anon
_10
using (true);

2

Create a NuxtJS app

Create a Nuxt.js app using the npx nuxi command.

Terminal

_10
npx nuxi@latest init 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 NuxtJS app.

Navigate to the NuxtJS app and install supabase-js.

Terminal

_10
cd my-app && npm install @supabase/supabase-js

4

Query data from the app

In app.vue, create a Supabase client using your project URL and public API (anon) key:

Project URL
Anon key

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

app.vue

_20
<script setup>
_20
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
_20
const supabase = createClient('https://<project>.supabase.co', '<your-anon-key>')
_20
const countries = ref([])
_20
_20
async function getCountries() {
_20
const { data } = await supabase.from('countries').select()
_20
countries.value = data
_20
}
_20
_20
onMounted(() => {
_20
getCountries()
_20
})
_20
</script>
_20
_20
<template>
_20
<ul>
_20
<li v-for="country in countries" :key="country.id">{{ country.name }}</li>
_20
</ul>
_20
</template>

5

Start the app

Start the app, navigate to http://localhost:3000 in the browser, open the browser console, and you should see the list of countries.

Terminal

_10
npm run dev
