## Summary Adds a contextual `D + <letter>` chord pattern for jumping between Database sub-pages, mounted only while `DatabaseLayout` is active. Establishes the pattern we can repeat for other sections (Auth, Storage, Functions, etc.). Linear: [FE-3140](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/FE-3140/define-subnavigation-pattern-for-database-management-page) ## Pattern - Chords are 2-key sequences (`D`, `<letter>`) — no global leader, no `G` prefix. - Registration is contextual: `<DatabaseNavShortcuts />` lives inside `DatabaseLayout`, so the leading `D` is only "owned" while the user is under `/project/<ref>/database/*`. Doesn't burn a global key. - Hover tooltips on each sub-menu item show the chord, anchored to the label text (Linear-style). Powered by `<ShortcutTooltip>` already used in the main nav. - Items hidden by feature flags (Roles, Column Privileges, Replication) auto-disable the chord — no muscle-memory navigating to a 404. ## Shortcuts added | Sub-page | Chord | Notes | |---|---|---| | Tables | `D T` | | | Functions | `D F` | | | Triggers | `D R` | t**R**iggers — `T` taken by Tables | | Indexes | `D I` | | | Extensions | `D X` | e**X**tensions | | Schema Visualizer | `D V` | | | Enumerated Types | `D E` | | | Publications | `D U` | p**U**blications — avoids collision with Schema Visualizer's `D P` (Download as PNG) | | Column Privileges | `D C` | flag-gated | | Settings | `D ,` | mirrors global `G ,` for project settings — avoids collision with Schema Visualizer's `D S` (Download as SVG) | | Replication | `D L` | rep**L**ication — flag-gated | | Roles | `D O` | r**O**les — flag-gated | | Backups | `D B` | platform-only | | Migrations | `D M` | | External-link sub-menu items (Policies, Wrappers, Webhooks, Security Advisor, Performance Advisor, Query Performance) are intentionally not chorded — they route out of `/database/*` and don't belong to the section's namespace. ## Collision audit Other shortcuts active on database pages (table-list, schema-visualizer) were checked against the new chords: - **Schema Visualizer** (`/database/schemas`): `D P` (Download PNG), `D S` (Download SVG), `O A`, `O S`. Publications and Settings were remapped to `D U` and `D ,` to avoid the `D P` / `D S` clashes. - **List pages** (`/database/tables`, etc.): `Shift+F`, `Shift+N`, `O S`, `F C` — no overlap with `D + <letter>`. ## Files - `state/shortcuts/registry/database-nav.ts` — new registry module with the 14 chord definitions. - `state/shortcuts/registry.ts` — spreads the new IDs/definitions into the canonical registry. - `components/interfaces/DatabaseNavShortcuts.tsx` — null-rendering hook component that wires `useShortcut` for each chord, keyed off `useGenerateDatabaseMenu` so URLs and feature gating stay in sync with the sidebar. - `components/layouts/DatabaseLayout/DatabaseLayout.tsx` — mounts the component. - `components/layouts/DatabaseLayout/DatabaseMenu.utils.tsx` — tags each menu item with its `shortcutId`. - `components/ui/ProductMenu/ProductMenu.types.ts` — adds optional `shortcutId?: ShortcutId` field. - `components/ui/ProductMenu/ProductMenuItem.tsx` — renders the hover tooltip when an item has a `shortcutId`, anchored to the label span. ## Test plan - [ ] On `/project/<ref>/database/tables`, press `D F` — navigates to `/database/functions`. - [ ] On `/project/<ref>/database/schemas`, press `D P` — downloads the PNG (Schema Visualizer wins, no nav conflict). - [ ] On `/project/<ref>/database/schemas`, press `D U` — navigates to `/database/publications`. - [ ] On `/project/<ref>/database/tables`, press `D ,` — navigates to `/database/settings`. - [ ] Hover any sub-menu item with a chord — pill appears next to the label after ~1s. - [ ] On a project with the Replication flag off — `D L` does nothing. - [ ] Navigate to `/auth` — pressing `D F` does nothing (chord unmounts with the layout). - [ ] Type `D` then `F` slowly inside an input — does not navigate (input-focus guard).
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
masterand 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.
- Type:
- 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 pullfrequently 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
infrastructurerepo.
# 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=
