Partials are currently defined via MDX includes. This PR switches to pre-compile-time partials, which have a new syntax: ``` <$Partial path="path/to/file.mdx" /> ``` ## Rationale This produces two improvements: 1. Partial substitution can occur in pipelines that don't use MDX compilation. For example, we can now do partial substitution before building the search index, so partial content will also be indexed. 2. After the App Router migration, the MDXProviders should've been deprecated, but were kept around for the sole reason of making partials work, and leading to us shipping unnecessary client-side code. We get a minor decrease in overall client bundle size (5.74 MB to 5.6 MB) by getting rid of the Providers. ## Breaking changes Besides the change to partial syntax, the arguments are also less powerful than before because we are doing string substitution and don't have the full power of JS. Defining string variables is still possible (documented in the Contributing guide), and since that's all we actually do in practice, this shouldn't be too cumbersome. There is always the escape hatch of making a custom component for more complex content reuse cases.

# Contributing to Supabase Docs
|
|
|
|
Thanks for contributing to Supabase Docs! Here are a few resources to help you get started.
|
|
|
|
The code and content for our docs site are located in the main [Supabase GitHub repo](https://github.com/supabase/supabase), under the `apps/docs` directory.
|
|
|
|
In the repo, you'll also find:
|
|
|
|
- The [developers guide](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/apps/docs/DEVELOPERS.md), which will help you set up your local machine to develop the docs site
|
|
- The [contributing guide](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/apps/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md), which goes over the content organization and some general guidelines for writing docs content
|
|
|
|
## Components
|
|
|
|
Our docs content is mainly written in MDX. Aside from standard GitHub-flavored Markdown, you can use the following helper components to help you organize and display your content:
|
|
|
|
### Accordion
|
|
|
|
For content that requires progressive disclosure:
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<Accordion
|
|
type="default"
|
|
openBehaviour="multiple"
|
|
chevronAlign="right"
|
|
justified
|
|
size="medium"
|
|
className="text-foreground-light mt-8 mb-6"
|
|
>
|
|
<div className="border-b mt-3 pb-3">
|
|
<AccordionItem
|
|
header="Accordion item 1"
|
|
id="item-1"
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
Your content here.
|
|
|
|
</AccordionItem>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div className="border-b mt-3 pb-3">
|
|
<AccordionItem
|
|
header="Accordion item 2"
|
|
id="item-2"
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
More content here.
|
|
|
|
</AccordionItem>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Accordion
|
|
type="default"
|
|
openBehaviour="multiple"
|
|
chevronAlign="right"
|
|
justified
|
|
size="medium"
|
|
className="text-foreground-light mt-8 mb-6"
|
|
>
|
|
<div className="border-b mt-3 pb-3">
|
|
<AccordionItem

|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
|
|
### Admonition
|
|
|
|
For extra information that doesn't fit into the main flow. There are 5 supported types of admonitions:
|
|
|
|
- `danger` to warn the user about any missteps that could cause data loss or data leaks
|
|
- `deprecation` to notify the user about features that are (or will soon be) deprecated
|
|
- `caution` to warn about anything that could cause a bug or serious user inconvenience
|
|
- `tip` to point out helpful but optional actions
|
|
- `note` for anything else
|
|
|
|
Leave a blank line between the admonition tag and the contained content. This will prevent Prettier from trying to break the lines within the content.
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<Admonition type="danger">
|
|
|
|
This could lead to data loss!
|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="deprecation">
|
|
|
|
This feature is deprecated.
|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="caution">
|
|
|
|
You should make sure you don't set this up wrong.
|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="tip">
|
|
|
|
In certain cases, you may want to do this.
|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="note">
|
|
|
|
Additional helpful information.
|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="danger">
|
|
|
|
This could lead to data loss!
|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="deprecation">
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="caution">
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="tip">

|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
<Admonition type="note">
|
|
|
|
Additional helpful information.
|
|
|
|
</Admonition>
|
|
|
|
### Code Samples
|
|
|
|
You can include code samples as normal in Markdown:
|
|
|
|
````mdx
|
|
```js
|
|
const PI = 3.14
|
|
```
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Or, you can use the `<$CodeSample />` component to include code samples from a source code file.
|
|
|
|
If the file is within the `supabase/supabase` repo's `examples` directory:
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<$CodeSample
|
|
path="/relative/path/from/examples/directory.js"
|
|
{/_ Array of [start, end] line numbers to include.
|
|
Line numbers are 1-indexed and inclusive.
|
|
-1 indicates the final line. _/}
|
|
lines={[[1, 3], [5, -1]]}
|
|
{/* Optional, displays as a file name on the code block */}
|
|
meta="display/path.js"
|
|
/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the file is within some other GitHub repo:
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<$CodeSample
|
|
external={true}
|
|
org="supabase"
|
|
repo="cli"
|
|
commit="1623aa9b95ec90e21c5bae5a0d50dcf272abe92f"
|
|
path="/relative/path/from/root.js"
|
|
lines={[[1, 3], [5, -1]]}
|
|
meta="display/path.js"
|
|
/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The repo must be public, the org must be on the allow list, and the commit must be an immutable SHA (not a mutable tag or branch name).
|
|
|
|
### Icons
|
|
|
|
The following icons are available. They can be styled with [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/) classes:
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<IconArrowDown />
|
|
<IconCheck />
|
|
<IconX />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<div class="flex items-center gap-2">
|
|
<IconArrowDown />
|
|
<IconCheck />
|
|
<IconX />
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
### Image
|
|
|
|
You can include images with regular Markdown syntax:
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
If your image has alternate light and dark versions, or you want to make it zoomable, you can also use the image component:
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<Image
|
|
alt="Supabase architectural diagram"
|
|
src={{
|
|
dark: '/docs/img/supabase-architecture.svg',
|
|
light: '/docs/img/supabase-architecture--light.svg',
|
|
}}
|
|
zoomable
|
|
/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Image
|
|
alt="Supabase architectural diagram"
|
|
src={{
|
|
dark: '/docs/img/supabase-architecture.svg',
|
|
light: '/docs/img/supabase-architecture--light.svg',
|
|
}}
|
|
zoomable
|
|
/>
|
|
|
|
### Project Variables
|
|
|
|
Some guides and tutorials will require that users copy their Supabase project URL and anon key. You can provide those inline if the user is signed in:
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<ProjectConfigVariables variable="url" />
|
|
<ProjectConfigVariables variable="anonKey" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<ProjectConfigVariables variable="url" />
|
|
<ProjectConfigVariables variable="anonKey" />
|
|
|
|
### Step Hike
|
|
|
|
For tutorials, which feature step-by-step instructions, often with accompanying code, we use the `StepHike` pattern:
|
|
|
|
````mdx
|
|
<StepHikeCompact>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Step step={1}>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Details title="The first step">
|
|
|
|
Explanation of what to do first.
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Details>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Code>
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
select ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Code>
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Step>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Step step={2}>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Details title="No code in this step" fullWidth>
|
|
|
|
Explanation of what to do next. This stretches the full width of the section: Sweet tiramisu apple biscuit candy cake. Orange ipsum muffin cookie cake biscuit. Orange muffin vanilla sweet sugar candy. Sprinkles jelly sweet orange candy cream.
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Details>
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Step>
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact>
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Step step={1}>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Details title="The first step">
|
|
|
|
Explanation of what to do first.
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Details>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Code>
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
select ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Code>
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Step>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Step step={2}>
|
|
|
|
<StepHikeCompact.Details title="No code in this step" fullWidth>
|
|
|
|
Explanation of what to do next. This stretches the full width of the section: Sweet tiramisu apple biscuit candy cake. Orange ipsum muffin cookie cake biscuit. Orange muffin vanilla sweet sugar candy. Sprinkles jelly sweet orange candy cream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Details>
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact.Step>
|
|
|
|
</StepHikeCompact>
|
|
|
|
### Tabs
|
|
|
|
Use tabs when users can select between multiple versions of the content. For example, the content might differ based on language or package manager.
|
|
|
|
If you include the `queryGroup` prop, the user's selection will sync with other tab groups. Leave out this prop to omit this behavior.
|
|
|
|
````mdx
|
|
<Tabs
|
|
scrollable
|
|
size="small"
|
|
type="underlined"
|
|
defaultActiveId="js"
|
|
queryGroup="language"
|
|
>
|
|
<TabPanel id="js" label="JavaScript">
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const supabase = createSupabaseClient()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabPanel>
|
|
<TabPanel id="dart" label="Dart">
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
void main() async {
|
|
Supabase.initialize();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabPanel>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
<Tabs
|
|
scrollable
|
|
size="small"
|
|
type="underlined"
|
|
defaultActiveId="js"
|
|
queryGroup="language"
|
|
>
|
|
<TabPanel id="js" label="JavaScript">
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const supabase = createSupabaseClient()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabPanel>
|
|
<TabPanel id="dart" label="Dart">
|
|
|
|
```dart
|
|
void main() async {
|
|
Supabase.initialize();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabPanel>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
|
|
### Info Tooltip
|
|
|
|
The <InfoTooltip tooltipContent="This is an info tooltip">InfoTooltip</InfoTooltip> component is used to add more context to a word or phrase via tooltip.
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<InfoTooltip tooltipContent="The open source Firebase alternative.">Supabase</InfoTooltip>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Partials
|
|
|
|
We incorporate content reuse in the docs to avoid duplication. If you find yourself writing the same content over and over, you can put it in a partial instead. Here are some examples of commonly used partials:
|
|
|
|
<Accordion
|
|
type="default"
|
|
openBehaviour="multiple"
|
|
chevronAlign="right"
|
|
justified
|
|
size="medium"
|
|
className="text-foreground-light mt-8 mb-6"
|
|
>
|
|
<div className="border-b mt-3 pb-3">
|
|
<AccordionItem
|
|
header="Database setup"
|
|
id="database-setup"
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<$Partial path="database_setup.mdx" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<$Partial path="database_setup.mdx" />
|
|
|
|
</AccordionItem>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div className="border-b mt-3 pb-3">
|
|
<AccordionItem
|
|
header="Create client for Auth"
|
|
id="create-client-auth"
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<$Partial path="create_client_snippet.mdx" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<$Partial path="create_client_snippet.mdx" />
|
|
|
|
</AccordionItem>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
|
|
To make a new partial:
|
|
|
|
1. Make a new MDX file in `apps/docs/content/_partials`.
|
|
1. Write your reusable content.
|
|
1. You can now use your partial inside any other MDX file by using: `<$Partial path="path/from/_partials/directory.mdx" />`.
|
|
|
|
If you need compile-time variable replacement, you can define variables that get replaced with strings.
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
<$Partial path="path/to/file.mdx" variables={{ "substitute": "this" }}>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mdx
|
|
Here is the partial text to {{ .substitute }}.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Only string replacements are possible at this time. For more complex use cases, consider making a custom component.
