  <StepHikeCompact.Step step={1}>
    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Create a new Supabase project">

    [Launch a new project](https://supabase.com/dashboard) in the Supabase Dashboard.

    Your new database has a table for storing your users. You can see that this table is currently empty by running some SQL in the [SQL Editor](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/sql).

    </StepHikeCompact.Details>

    <StepHikeCompact.Code>

     ```sql name=SQL_EDITOR
      select * from auth.users;
      ````

    </StepHikeCompact.Code>

  </StepHikeCompact.Step>

  <StepHikeCompact.Step step={2}>

    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Create a React app">

    Create a React app using the `create-react-app` command.

    </StepHikeCompact.Details>

    <StepHikeCompact.Code>

      ```bash name=Terminal
      npx create-react-app my-app
      ```

    </StepHikeCompact.Code>

  </StepHikeCompact.Step>

  <StepHikeCompact.Step step={3}>
    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Install the Supabase client library">

    The fastest way to get started is to use Supabase's `auth-ui-react` library which provides a convenient interface for working with Supabase Auth from a React app.

    Navigate to the React app and install the Supabase libraries.

    </StepHikeCompact.Details>

    <StepHikeCompact.Code>

      ```bash name=Terminal
      cd my-app && npm install @supabase/supabase-js @supabase/auth-ui-react @supabase/auth-ui-shared
      ```

    </StepHikeCompact.Code>

  </StepHikeCompact.Step>

  <StepHikeCompact.Step step={4}>
    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Set up your login component">

    In `App.js`, create a Supabase client using your [Project URL and public API (anon) key](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/api).

    You can configure the Auth component to display whenever there is no session inside `supabase.auth.getSession()`

    </StepHikeCompact.Details>
    <StepHikeCompact.Code>

      ```js name=src/App.js
        import './index.css'
        import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
        import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
        import { Auth } from '@supabase/auth-ui-react'
        import { ThemeSupa } from '@supabase/auth-ui-shared'

        const supabase = createClient('https://<project>.supabase.co', '<your-anon-key>')

        export default function App() {
          const [session, setSession] = useState(null)

          useEffect(() => {
            supabase.auth.getSession().then(({ data: { session } }) => {
              setSession(session)
            })

            const {
              data: { subscription },
            } = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange((_event, session) => {
              setSession(session)
            })

            return () => subscription.unsubscribe()
          }, [])

          if (!session) {
            return (<Auth supabaseClient={supabase} appearance={{ theme: ThemeSupa }} />)
          }
          else {
            return (<div>Logged in!</div>)
          }
        }
      ```

    </StepHikeCompact.Code>

  </StepHikeCompact.Step>

  <StepHikeCompact.Step step={5}>
    <StepHikeCompact.Details title="Start the app">

    Start the app, go to http://localhost:3000 in a browser, and open the browser console and you should be able to log in.

    </StepHikeCompact.Details>

    <StepHikeCompact.Code>

      ```bash name=Terminal
      npm start
      ```
