6b8772a33e Update Data API docs to include explicit grants (#42969)
Updates our documentation pages around the Data API to include
instructions on how to grant the necessary privileges across API roles
across tables and functions. Current behaviour means this is largely
unnecessary as privileges are granted by default on public schema, but
adding instructions will help cover scenarios where this isn't the case
and expose some of the underlying magic happening.

## To test:
- These updates refer to new settings that are added to the data api
that give more visibility and control over what tables and functions are
accessible via the api.
- To view these settings you'll need enable `tableEditorApiAccessToggle
` feature flag

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.
