3 months ago For this, how should we structure the DB
How I'm doing it:
Each user has an assigned column where their notes are stored, and I called this column user_notes.: array
I want it that whenever the user adds a note, the new note would be appended to the already existing
user_notes:array which is default totextempty
High Level Overview
1. Authentication - User Registration and Login:
Sign Up: Supabase provides easy-to-use methods for user registration, allowing new users to sign up with their email and password.
Sign In: Supabase handles user login, maintaining user sessions and managing authentication tokens. Session Management:
Supabase manages user sessions, allowing you to maintain user login status across different sessions and pages. Email Verification and Password Recovery:
Supabase can send verification emails to new users and handle password recovery processes, ensuring account security.
2. Database Management - Schema Definition:
You can define your database schema using Supabase's SQL interface or directly within the Supabase dashboard. This includes creating tables for users, todos, and any other related data. CRUD Operations:
Create: Insert new todo items into the database. Read: Retrieve todo items for authenticated users. Update: Modify existing todo items. Delete: Remove todo items from the database. Real-Time Capabilities:
Supabase can provide real-time updates for your application. This means any changes in the todo items (like creation, updates, or deletions) can be reflected instantly in the UI without needing a manual refresh.
3. API Interaction - Backend API Endpoints:
Your Next.js backend will define API endpoints to handle CRUD operations on the todo items. These endpoints will use the Supabase client to interact with the Supabase database. Example API Endpoints:
POST /api/todos: Create a new todo item. GET /api/todos: Retrieve all todo items for the authenticated user. PUT /api/todos/[id]: Update a specific todo item. DELETE /api/todos/[id]: Delete a specific todo item.
4. Frontend Integration - Supabase Client:
You will use the Supabase client library in your frontend to handle user authentication (login, signup, session management). API Calls:
The frontend will make API calls to your Next.js API endpoints to perform CRUD operations on the todo items.
