Katerina Skroumpelouandgithub-actions[bot] fc5db9bb03 docs: update client-side tracing and Edge Function CORS guides (#48924)
Updates the client-side tracing and Edge Function CORS docs for changes
shipping in `@supabase/supabase-js` v2.112.3 (supabase/supabase-js#2603,
supabase/supabase-js#2604). The tracing guide gains a vendor
compatibility table (plain OpenTelemetry works as is, Sentry needs
`propagateTraceparent: true`, Datadog RUM needs `allowedTracingUrls`),
the new `respectSamplingDecision` semantics (non-sampled requests now
carry `traceparent` only, so logs stay correlatable), a troubleshooting
entry for the SDK's new propagator warning, and a note that browser
calls to Edge Functions need the trace headers in the function's CORS
allow-list. The CORS guide now states explicitly that trace headers are
sent only when trace propagation is opted in (never by default), adds a
table of when each SDK header is actually sent, and the hardcoded
`corsHeaders` examples are updated to the full header list. Should merge
after the v2.112.3 release is published, since it documents that
version's behavior.

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.

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.
