Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative. Start your project with a Postgres database, Authentication, instant APIs, Edge Functions, Realtime subscriptions, and Storage.

Hi — is there a suggested best practice to fully manually manage users? The use case is that we need to import phone number based users for registration. For login we would want to handle manually on server, but also have the option of them being regular supabase users enabling OTP etc.   This is currently solved in firebase using the admin sdk with custom tokens.

+1 on this, seems to me like the current api doesn't allow you to create a user based on a custom token

Hey, has anyone tackled multi-domain auth yet? Or even multi-subdomain auth? How do you do it? How *would* you do it? It doesn't look like there's a config option to set the cookie domain yet, right?

You put your list of domains in the dashboard separated by commas then in your client you set the return to parameter. Let me look at it.

Under Auth Settings "Additional Redirect URLs". you put your urls separated by commas.

Cool, so that gets you auth via multiple domains. Do you know anything about setting the cookie domain to say `example.com` so that a user can stay logged in across `www.` and `app.`?

Then in my client code I do this:
```
  public signInWithProvider = async (provider: Provider) => {
    const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({
      // provider can be:
      // 'azure','bitbucket','facebook','github','gitlab','google','twitter','apple'
      provider: provider
    },{
      redirectTo: window.location.origin
    });
    return { user, session, error };
  }
```

where `window.location.origin` is the domain they're authentication from, which is usualy `localhost:8100` or something like that while in development, or any of of my other domains in the redirect URL's list.

I don't know about www vs. the root domain, I have my domains set up to redirect to the root domain anyway so it's never a problem.

I'm thinking I'd probably have to roll my own client if I switched. The cookie trick is that any subdomain can read a root cookie, so a user session automatically transfers. But my app is a multi-tenant app, so I can end up with thousands of domains sharing the same user table.

(These are two different use cases I'm trying to support, not one big one.)

Does anyone know if the swift library supports Apple Authentication directly in the app without external links? I’m considering this for a project and am having a hard time finding information on it.

Hi I think magic link api is blocked by China’s firewall some how, along with supabase website.

Is there any way to work around like change the ip or domain😢

<@231781964305137665> thanks very much 😤

In short: AWS might not work in China and you need a workaround for that.

Usually every evening GWF temporary blocks AWS access  from outside China and it’s really sucks😢

That sucks. However, you could try self-hosting as well, in-case you need a long-term solution for this problem.

Hi, I just found supabase at github.
What's different between superbase and appwrite?

It seems that appwrite was developed earlier and has more functions

Dumb answer: I think supabase has cooler UIs

Thx for suggesting! Definitely check it out with some other host platforms.

<@!462598260637433856> as someone who have used appwrite I can answer that, Supabase DB is built around the features of Postgres, the appwrite team for some reason decided to create their own abstraction schema on top of mariadb and lost all normal database features due to this. They are trying to be NoSQL on a relational database.

They abstract Document-oriented database model above mariadb

The basic feature of constraints doesn't exist in appwrite due to this, too many things in appwrite felt like an after thought to me or a never thought, this is why I moved to Supabase.

Which BaaS platform  has a better development experience for you?

Does anyone have an example of a form with multiple inputs pushing data to supabase database onSubmit?
