Akash Santra 34c5a9aa7a docs: improve React quickstart with error handling and fix Docker capitalization (#45320)
## I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update

## What is the current behavior?

- The React quickstart example does not handle errors when fetching
data.
- The local development guide uses inconsistent capitalization for
"docker".

## What is the new behavior?

- Adds basic error handling (`error` check) in the React quickstart
example to improve reliability.
- Fixes capitalization from "docker" → "Docker" for consistency with
official naming.

## Additional context

These are small improvements to enhance clarity and developer experience
in the docs.

Maintainers

If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.

Versioning

All tools have versioned docs, which are kept in separate folders. For example, the CLI has the following folders and files:

  • cli: the "next" release.
  • cli_spec: contains the DocSpec for the "next" release (see below).
  • cli_versioned_docs: a version of the documentation for every release (including the most current version).
  • cli_versioned_sidebars: a version of the sidebar for every release (including the most current version).

When you release a new version of a tool, you should also release a new version of the docs. You can do this via the command line. For example, if you just released the CLI version 1.0.1:

npm run cli:version 1.0.1

DocSpec

We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.

  • OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
  • SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
  • ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
  • CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.

The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
