## Problem The design-system Sidebar page was mostly an upstream shadcn paste: first-person voice, a broken `/blocks` link, missing structure images, CLI install steps that do not match this monorepo, and a long changelog / data-fetching tutorial that do not apply here. Separately, it still taught classic shadcn **HSL channel** variables plus `hsl(var(--sidebar-*))`. In this monorepo those tokens are **full colours**. Mixing the two patterns produces invalid CSS. Related call-site cleanup: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/51161 ## Solution - Rewrite the Sidebar docs as a shorter monorepo guide: import from `'ui'`, structure, theming, provider / sidebar props, menu building blocks, controlled mode, state styling. - Move Studio’s `--sidebar-*` aliases into shared `packages/ui` compat CSS so every app on the shared theme gets working `bg-sidebar` utilities. - Drop the duplicate definitions from Studio `globals.css`. Left alone on purpose: brand / destructive channel tokens and docs that correctly use `hsl(var(--brand-…))`. ## Review instructions Design-system preview: [design-system](https://design-system-git-dnywh-docssidebar-full-colour-tokens-supabase.vercel.app/) 1. [Live Sidebar docs](https://supabase.com/design-system/docs/components/sidebar) · [Preview Sidebar docs](https://design-system-git-dnywh-docssidebar-full-colour-tokens-supabase.vercel.app/design-system/docs/components/sidebar). Confirm the page is no longer the upstream essay: no broken images, no `/blocks` link, imports from `'ui'`, theming shows full-colour aliases. 2. Smoke Studio: left nav should look unchanged (same aliases, now from compat.css). 3. Optional: in DevTools, confirm `--sidebar-background` resolves to a full `oklch(...)` colour. ## Checklist - [x] I have read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) - [ ] If I wrote a new docs topic or edited an existing topic, I used the `/write-the-docs` or `/edit-the-docs` skill, which applies the docs [style guide](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/apps/docs/style-guide)
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 main contributing guide 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 v22
# 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=
