Danny WhiteandJoshen Lim 64c37ca72b chore(studio): database tables UI improvements (#44163)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

UI improvements

## What is the current behavior?

- The database tables list and columns list use inconsistent page shells
and table primitives
- The child columns page has weaker information hierarchy and row
actions than the parent tables page
- Responsive column priority on the tables list does not reflect the
most important data on smaller breakpoints
- Table actions and counts are harder to scan than they should be

## What is the new behavior?

- Both pages now use `PageLayout` with matching large-width content
containers
- `ColumnList` now uses the latest `ui` Table primitives instead of the
legacy cleaned-up-later table
- Both pages now show totals in a table footer
- `ColumnList` now uses a tiny filter input, case-insensitive filtering,
inline descriptions under the name, and a primary `Edit` button with
overflow actions
- `TableList` now has improved responsive column priority:
  - smallest breakpoint keeps `Rows`
  - `Columns` appears from `sm`
  - `Size` appears from `lg`
  - `Realtime Enabled` appears from `2xl`
- `TableList` now uses `View columns` as the CTA, removes the ambiguous
icon from that CTA, restores the entity icon from `sm` upwards only, and
tightens the name column on the smallest breakpoint only
- Boolean icon columns are right-aligned consistently, with the same
Realtime icon tones applied to both `Realtime Enabled` and `Nullable`
- The columns detail page now uses breadcrumbs for navigation back to
Tables instead of an inline back button

Supabase Studio

A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:

What's included

Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.

As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:

  • Table & SQL editors
    • Saved queries are unavailable
  • Database management
    • Policies, roles, extensions, replication
  • API documentation

Managing Project Settings

Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.

How to contribute?

  • Branch from master and name your branches with the following structure
    • {type}/{branch_name}
      • Type: chore | fix | feature
      • The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
  • When you send a PR to master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review.
  • Review the contributing checklists to help test your feature before sending a PR.
  • The Dashboard is under active development. You should run git pull frequently to make sure you're up to date.

Developer Quickstart

Note

Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal infrastructure repo.

# You'll need to be on Node v20
# in /studio

## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server

## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio  # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`

## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode

Running within a self-hosted environment

Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.

cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up

Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=

Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.

npm install
npm run dev

If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
