Anyone using supabase with sveltekit for auth and profiles? There's the built in private users table. The recommendation for user-managed profile fields is to create a separate

profiles

table. I have the postgres stuff working to automatically create a profile entry for new users. When someone logs in to the sveltekit app I need the User and Profile to be persistent but I'm not seeing any built-in way to do this. Is that true? Do I need to rely on setting localstorage or something to store the Profile data when a user first logs in?

Can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by User and Profile to be persistent please?

You need to store the auth token in a cookie and then identify yourself with that. Take a look at svelte-kit hooks

I have cookie auth set up and everything. The sessions are working and I get data from the User table from that. Supabase recommends setting up a public table for other user information: https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/auth-update > User metadata: It's generally better to store user data in a table inside your public schema (i.e. public.users). Use the update() method if you have data which rarely changes or is specific only to the logged in user.
