Using Supabase with TypeScript

Many projects nowadays use TypeScript instead of JavaScript. In this book, we’ll focus on using Supabase with JavaScript instead of TypeScript. But still, I want to show you how easily it can be used in combination with the Supabase JavaScript clients, and which benefits it brings.

Supabase’s npm library comes with TypeScript support out of the box. However, with TypeScript, Supabase can also tell you that the expected data from your database doesn’t exist or help you find the correct table name for your database via autocompletion in your editor.

All you need for this is a specific TypeScript file that is generated specifically for your Supabase project. The following steps show how to trigger the Supabase CLI so that it creates such a supabase.ts file containing the needed types for TypeScript – depending on whether you want the types from a supabase.com project, a local instance, or an instance hosted somewhere else...
