+
+## Project Quotas
+
+Each Broadcast and Presence message counts towards your [Project Quotas](/docs/guides/realtime/quotas).
+
+It's common to unintentionally flood the Realtime service with messages. For example, tracking mouse movents without throttling would send hundreds of events per second. It's rare that you need so many messages. Updating a mouse movement even a few times per second is usually enough for the human eye.
+
+The Supabase client includes a configurable throttling parameter to protect against these unintended floods.
+
+## Default client throttling
+
+By default the Supabase clients throttles messages to 10 messages per-second (1 message every 100 milliseconds). This is a soft-limit provided as a safe-guard when you're getting started. You'll rarely need to send more messages than this.
+
+Each client has their own throttling behavior. For example, if you instantiate two clients, by default you would send 20 messages per-second to your project.
+
+## Managing client-side throttling
+
+You can customize the client-side throttling when creating the client:
+
+```js
+import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
+
+const SUPABASE_URL = 'https://.supabase.co'
+const SUPABASE_ANON_KEY = ''

## Channels
-When you initialize your Supabase Realtime client, you define a `topic` that uniquely references a channel. Everyone connected to the same Channel `topic` receives the same messages.
+A Channel is the basic building block of Realtime. You can think of a Channel as a chatroom, similar to a Discord or Slack channel, where participants are able to see who's online and send and receive messages.
+
+When you initialize your Supabase Realtime client, you define a `topic` that uniquely references a channel. Clients can bi-directionally send and receive messages over a Channel.
```js
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
const client = createClient('https://.supabase.co', '')
-const channel = client.channel('my-topic') // set your topic here
+const roomOne = client.channel('room-one') // set your topic here
```
-Clients can bi-directionally send and receive messages over a Channel. The Realtime backend can also push messages to all clients connected to the same Channel.
+## Broadcast
-A single client can receive change records from Postgres, Broadcast messages from other clients, and Presence updates all over the same Channel.
+Realtime Broadcast follows the [publish-subscribe pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern) where a client publishes messages to a channel based on a unique topic. For example, a user could send a message to a channel with topic `room-one`.
+
+```js
+roomOne.send({
+ type: 'broadcast',
+ event: 'test',
+ payload: { message: 'hello, world' },
+})
+```
+
+Other clients can receive the message in real-time by subscribing to the Channel with topic `room-one`. These clients continue to receive messages as long as they are subscribed and connected to the same Channel topic.
+
+An example use-case is sharing a user's cursor position with other clients in an online game.
+
+## Presence
+
+Presence can be used to share and invidual's state with others within a Channel.
+
+```js
+const presenceTrackStatus = await roomOne.track({
+ user: 'user-1',
+ online_at: new Date().toISOString(),
+})
+```
+
+Each client maintains their own state, and this is then combined into a "shared state" for that Channel topic. It's commonly used for sharing statuses (eg: "online" or "inactive"). The neat thing about Presence is that if a client is suddenly disconnected (for example, they go offline), their state is automatically removed from the shared state. If you've ever tried to build an βI'm onlineβ feature which handles unexpected disconnects, you'll appreciate how useful this is.
+
+When a new client subscribes to a channel, it will immediately receive the channel's latest state in a single message because the state is held by the Realtime server.
## Choosing between Broadcast and Presence
-We recommend using Broadcast by default, and then Presence when required. Presence merges all changes into a shared state for every client connected to the same channel. If you use Presence, it's best to throttle your changes so that you are sending updates less frequently.
+We recommend using Broadcast by default, and then Presence when required. Presence utilizes an in-memory conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) to track and synchronize shared state in an eventually consistent manner. It computes the difference between existing state and new state changes and sends the necessary updates to clients via Broadcast. This is computationally heavy, so you should use it sparingly. If you use Presence, it's best to throttle your changes so that you are sending updates less frequently.
+
+## Reatlime extensions
+
+Channels provide a generic networking solution. Supabase Realtime is designed to leverage this networking primitive with "extensions". We currently support one extension: Postgres changes.
+
+### Postgres changes
+
+The Postgres Changes extension listens for database changes and sends them to clients. Clients are required to subscribe with a JWT dictating which changes they are allowed to receive based on the database's [Row Level Security](/docs/guides/auth/row-level-security).
+
+```js
+const allChanges = client
+ .channel('schema-db-changes')
+ .on(
+ 'postgres_changes',
+ {
+ event: '*',
+ schema: 'public',
+ },
+ (payload) => console.log(payload)
+ )
+ .subscribe()
+```
+
+Anyone with access to a valid JWT signed with the project's JWT secret is able to listen to your database's changes, unless tables have [Row Level Security](/docs/guides/auth/row-level-security) enabled and policies in place.
+
+Clients can choose to receive `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`, or `*` (all) changes for all changes in a schema, a table in a schema, or a column's value in a table. Your clients should only listen to tables in the `public` schema and you must first enable the tables you want your clients to listen to.

-Realtime Broadcast follows the [publish-subscribe pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern) where a client publishes messages to a channel based on a unique topic. For example, a user could send a message to a channel with topic `room-1`.
+Let's explore how to implement Realtime Broadcast to send messages between clients.
-Other clients can receive the message in real-time by subscribing to the channel with topic `room-1`. These clients can continue to receive messages as long as they continue to be online and subscribed to the same channel topic.
+## Usage
-An example use-case is sharing a user's cursor position with other clients in an online tool or game.
+You can use the Supabase client libraries to send and receive Broadcast messages.
-## Quick start
+### Initialize the client
-Let's explore how to implement Realtime Broadcast so you can integrate it into your use case.
+Go to your Supabase project's [API Settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/api) and grab the `URL` and `anon` public API key.
-
+```js
+import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
-
-
-
+const SUPABASE_URL = 'https://.supabase.co'
+const SUPABASE_KEY = ''
- Install the Supabase JavaScript client.
+const client = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_KEY)
+```
-
+### Listening to Broadcast messages
-
+You can provide a callback for the `broadcast` channel to receive message. In this example we will receive any `broadcast` messages in `room-1`:
- ```bash
- npm install @supabase/supabase-js
- ```
+{/* prettier-ignore */}
+```js
+// Join a room/topic. Can be anything except for 'realtime'.
+const channelA = clientA.channel('room-1')
-
+// Simple function to log any messages we receive
+function messageReceived(payload) {
+ console.log(payload)
+}
-
+// Subscribe to the Channel
+channelA
+ .on(
+ 'broadcast',
+ { event: 'test' },
+ (payload) => messageReceived(payload)
+ )
+ .subscribe()
+```
-
-
-
+### Sending Broadcast messages
- This client will be used to listen for messages.
+We can send Broadcast messages using `channelB.send()`. Let's set up another client to send messages.
- Go to your Supabase project's [API Settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/api) and grab the `URL` and `anon` public API key.

-
+ // Send a message once the client is subscribed
+ channelB.send({

Use this to guarantee that the server has received the message before resolving `channelD.send`'s promise. If the `ack` config is not set to `true` when creating the channel, the promise returned by `channelD.send` will resolve immediately.

-Presence can be used to share state between clients. Each client maintains their own piece of state within the shared state.
-
-Presence utilizes an in-memory conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) to track and synchronize shared state in an eventually consistent manner. It computes the difference between existing state and new state changes and sends the necessary updates to clients via Broadcast.
-
-When a new client subscribes to a channel, it will immediately receive the channel's latest state in a single message instead of waiting for all other clients to send their individual states.
-
-Clients are free to come-and-go as they please, and as long as they are all subscribed to the same channel then they will all have the same Presence state as each other.
-
-The neat thing about Presence is that if a client is suddenly disconnected (for example, they go offline), their state will be automatically removed from the shared state. If you've ever tried to build an βI'm onlineβ feature which handles unexpected disconnects, you'll appreciate how useful this is.
-
-## Quick start
-
Let's explore how to implement Realtime Presence so you can integrate it into your use case.
-
+## Usage
-
-
-
+You can use the Supabase client libraries to track Presence state between users.
- Install the Supabase JavaScript client.
+### Initialize the client
-
+Go to your Supabase project's [API Settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/api) and grab the `URL` and `anon` public API key.
-
+```js
+import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
- ```bash
- npm install @supabase/supabase-js
- ```
+const SUPABASE_URL = 'https://.supabase.co'
+const SUPABASE_KEY = ''
-
+const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_KEY)
+```
-
+### Sync and track state
-
-
-
+Listen to the `sync`, `join`, and `leave` events triggered whenever any client joins or leaves the channel or changes their slice of state:
- This client will be used to track Presence state as new clients join and leave the channel.
+```js
+const roomOne = supabase.channel('room_01')
- Go to your Supabase project's [API Settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/api) and grab the `URL` and `anon` public API key.
+roomOne
+ .on('presence', { event: 'sync' }, () => {
+ const newState = roomOne.presenceState()
+ console.log('sync', newState)
+ })
+ .on('presence', { event: 'join' }, ({ key, newPresences }) => {
+ console.log('join', key, newPresences)
+ })
+ .on('presence', { event: 'leave' }, ({ key, leftPresences }) => {
+ console.log('leave', key, leftPresences)
+ })
+ .subscribe()
+```
-
+### Sending state
-
+You can send state to all subscribers using `track()`:
- ```js
- import {
- createClient
- } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
+{/* prettier-ignore */}
+```js
+const roomOne = supabase.channel('room_01')
- const clientA = createClient(
- 'https://.supabase.co',
- ''
- )
- ```
+const userStatus = {
+ user: 'user-1',
+ online_at: new Date().toISOString(),
+}
-
+roomOne.subscribe(async (status) => {
+ if (status !== 'SUBSCRIBED') { return }
-
+ const presenceTrackStatus = await roomOne.track(userStatus)
+ console.log(presenceTrackStatus)
+})
+```
-
-
-
+A client will receive state from any other client that is subscribed to the same topic (in this case `room_01`). It will also automatically trigger its own `sync` and `join` event handlers.
- A channel's topic can be anything except for `'realtime'`.
+### Stop tracking
-
+You can stop tracking precense using the `untrack()` method. This will trigger the `sync` and `leave` event handlers.
-
+```js
+const untrackPresence = async () => {
+ const presenceUntrackStatus = await roomOne.untrack()
+ console.log(presenceUntrackStatus)
+}
- ```js
- const channelA = clientA.channel('room-1')
- ```
+untrackPresence()
+```
-
+## Presence options
-
+You can pass configuration options while initializing the Supabase Client.
-
-
-
-
- Listen to the `sync`, `join`, and `leave` events triggered whenever any client joins or leaves the channel or changes their slice of state.
-
- To begin tracking state, `clientA` calls `channelA.track()`, passing in the desired state to share. Once `clientA` successfully tracks its state, it will automatically trigger its own `sync` and `join` event handlers.
-
-
-
-
-
- ```js
- channelA
- .on(
- 'presence',
- { event: 'sync' },
- () => {
- const newState = channelA.presenceState()
- console.log('sync', newState)
- }
- )
- .on(
- 'presence',
- { event: 'join' },
- ({ key, newPresences }) => {
- console.log('join', key, newPresences)
- }
- )
- .on(
- 'presence',
- { event: 'leave' },
- ({ key, leftPresences }) => {
- console.log('leave', key, leftPresences)
- }
- )
- .subscribe(async (status) => {
- if (status === 'SUBSCRIBED') {
- const presenceTrackStatus = await channelA.track({
- user: 'user-1',
- online_at: new Date().toISOString(),
- })
- console.log(presenceTrackStatus)
- }
- })
- ```
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- This client will add to and remove from shared state so other clients can be notified of changes to Presence state.
-
-
-
-
-
- ```js
- const clientB = createClient(
- 'https://.supabase.co',
- ''
- )
- ```
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- This channel's topic must match `channelA`'s.
-
-
-
-
-
- ```js
- const channelB = clientB.channel('room-1')
- ```
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Subscribe to channel and add to state.
-
- This will trigger `clientA`'s `sync` and `join` event handlers.
-
-
-
-
-
- ```js
- channelB.subscribe(async (status) => {
- if (status === 'SUBSCRIBED') {
- const presenceTrackStatus = await channelA.track({
- user: 'user-2',
- online_at: new Date().toISOString(),
- })
- console.log(presenceTrackStatus)
- }
- })

## Limitations
-The current version of Realtime's Postgres Changes feature has some performance limitations to keep in mind. There can be a bottleneck on the database that limits the number of messages streamed to subscribed clients.
+Realtime systems usually require forethought, because of their scaling dynamics. For the `Postgres Changes` feature, every change event must be checked to see if the subscribed user has access. This means that if you have 100 users subscribed to a table where you make a single insert, it will then trigger 100 "reads": one for each user.
-The polling query that fetches the changes is currently single-threaded. If you are frequently changing your database, the polling query may not be able to fetch the changes rapidly enough. The delivery of the changes will be delayed until you will get timeout. Additionally, there is a polling query per subscribed client, which means that each unique pair of `filters` and `JWT token` (logged-in user) affects the performance of the polling query. In other words, RLS and filters can further limit the number of messages that can be streamed to subscribed clients.
+There can be a bottleneck on the database that limits the number of messages streamed to subscribed clients. If you are frequently changing your database, the database query may not be verify the authorization rapidly enough and the delivery of the changes will be delayed until you will get timeout.
-From our testing and observation of the performance of the polling query, we have found that the following limits are safe to use:
+If you are listening to Postgres Changes at scale, you should consider using separate table without RLS and filters. Alternatively, you can use Realtime server-side only and then re-stream the changes to your clients using a Realtime Broadcast.

## Limitations
-Realtime systems usually require forethought, because of their scaling dynamics. For the `Postgres Changes` feature, every change event must be checked to see if the subscribed user has access. This means that if you have 100 users subscribed to a table where you make a single insert, it will then trigger 100 "reads": one for each user.
