Gildas GarciaandDanny White ca28c945db Improve Table Editor design and accessibility (#50797)
## Problem

Controls in the new table sheet's Columns section had inconsistent
styling, alignment and focus states. Some icon-only actions were faint
or lacked useful accessible names and tooltips, while related controls
used different dropdown treatments.

/>

## Solution

- Align the column headers and fields on the same grid, and keep the
foreign key action inside the name field in every state.
- Give the drag, foreign key, suggestions, extra options and remove
actions consistent button styling, sizing, hover and focus states, with
accessible names and tooltips.
- Move masking into Extra options and include it in the options count.
Remove the separators around the former inline controls.
- Use the design system's ComboboxTrigger for column types and align the
Default value select's radius with it. Update the suggestions dropdown
icon.
- Tidy related field labels and update the affected table editor tests.

The underlying column values and database behaviour are unchanged.

## Review instructions

- Open **Table Editor → New table** and inspect the Columns section.
Check that Name, Type and Default value headers align with their fields.
- Tab through the row actions. Check their focus states, accessible
names and tooltips, including the foreign key control with and without a
relation.
- Drag a column to reorder it, open Extra options and toggle masking.
Check the options count and that the other settings still work.
- Compare the closed Type and Default value dropdowns, including an enum
default value.

Community & Support

  • Community Forum. Best for: help with building, discussion about database best practices.
  • GitHub Issues. Best for: bugs and errors you encounter using Supabase.
  • Email Support. Best for: problems with your database or infrastructure.
  • Discord. Best for: sharing your applications and hanging out with the community.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
