Illia BasalaievandMiranda Limonczenko ee1eb5dbca docs: standardize quickstart guides (#48950)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update

## What is the new behavior?

- All 19 guides follow one step order: create project → set up database
→ create app → AI tooling → add keys → create client → query data → run
it → go to production. Added _template.mdx with structure requirements;
it is not enforced with a lint check for now - this will be a separate
PR before adding new guides.
- 4 new partials replace copy-pasted blocks (AI tooling, connection
strings, mobile env vars, going to production).
- Error handling: return a message instead of a blank page when a query
fails.
- All guides verified and tested separately - all work as described.
What was fixed: wrong env var names in the Hono sample, a Next.js page
that redirected to login, missing database permissions in Refine and
Hono, and stale file paths and APIs in SvelteKit, Refine, and TanStack.
- Astro, Expo, Python, Laravel, and Rails were live but missing from the
quickstart grid or listing page. Added, with two new icons.

A reference contract the other 19 quickstart guides are checked against.
Documents the required frontmatter, the canonical 10-step section order,
every guide's deviation from that order (and why), the direct-Postgres
exception (Laravel/Rails/RedwoodJS/Spring Boot), and the
discovery-surface/icon requirements for adding a new guide. No lint rule
enforces it yet; that's a follow-up PR.

→ environment variables step
Shared by 3 guides: ios-swiftui, flutter, kotlin – note Expo React
Native is mobile too but doesn't use this partial, since it has its own
`EXPO_PUBLIC_` prefix convention inline instead.

## Per guide changes

**[Astro](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/astrojs#9-query-supabase-data-from-astro)**
Typed query error in the server client sample.

**[Expo React
Native](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/expo-react-native#8-query-data-from-the-app)**
Added an `error` state alongside instruments. Also removed the broken
[`--web` verification
path](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/expo-react-native#9-start-the-app):
expo-sqlite needs Metro wasm + COEP/COOP config the guide never had
(CodeRabbit finding).


**[Flask](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/flask#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
Split "Create the Supabase client" and ["Query
data"](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/flask#8-query-data-from-the-app)
into their own steps.


**[Flutter](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/flutter#9-setup-deep-links-optional)**
Reworded the deep-links section; keeps the framework-specific [Android
`INTERNET` permission
subsection](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/flutter#android)
under "Going to production."


**[Hono](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/hono#6-declare-supabase-environment-variables)**
Split into "Install dependencies," "Declare environment variables," "Set
up anonymous sign-ins," and "Query data" as separate steps. Fixes wrong
env var names from the previous sample.

**[iOS
SwiftUI](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/ios-swiftui#8-query-data-from-the-app)**
Added an `isLoading` state so the loading overlay doesn't hang forever
on a successful empty result (CodeRabbit fix).


**[Kotlin](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/kotlin#5-install-dependencies)**
Fixed the Compose compiler plugin declaration: `apply false` was missing
from the app module (CodeRabbit finding).


**[Laravel](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/laravel#5-set-up-the-postgres-connection-details)**
Now uses the shared `quickstart_connection_string.mdx` partial for the
session-pooler/SSL guidance instead of inline copy.


**[Next.js](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nextjs#6-allow-public-access-to-the-instruments-page)**
New step fixing the page that previously redirected to login. Its
middleware path check is also now segment-aware so it doesn't over-match
paths like `/instruments-private` (CodeRabbit finding).


**[Nuxt](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nuxtjs#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
"Create the Supabase client" and ["Query
data"](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nuxtjs#8-query-data-from-the-app)
split out as their own steps.


**[React](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/reactjs#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
Same
client-creation/[query-data](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/reactjs#8-query-data-from-the-app)
split as the other Vite-based guides.


**[RedwoodJS](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/redwoodjs#2-gather-database-connection-strings)**
Expanded into explicit transaction-mode/session-mode connection strings,
Prisma schema, migration, seed, and scaffold steps; fixes stale file
paths and APIs from the previous version.


**[Refine](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/refine#8-allow-writes-to-the-instruments-table)**
New step fixing the missing RLS grants that made the scaffolded
create/edit pages fail.

**[Ruby on
Rails](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/ruby-on-rails#4-set-up-the-postgres-connection-details)**
Now uses `quickstart_connection_string.mdx`; added a [reminder to save
the database
password](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/ruby-on-rails#1-create-a-supabase-project)
before it's needed for the connection string.


**[SolidJS](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/solidjs#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
Same
client-creation/[query-data](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/solidjs#8-query-data-from-the-app)
split, adapted to Solid's `resource.error`.

**[Spring
Boot](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/spring-boot#4-set-up-the-postgres-connection-details)**
Connection-string section now uses the shared partial instead of a
duplicated inline caution.


**[SvelteKit](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/sveltekit#8-query-data-from-the-app)**
Updated `load` functions (both `+page.js` and `+page.server.ts`
variants) with explicit query-error typing; fixes stale file paths and
APIs from the previous version.


**[TanStack](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/tanstack#8-query-supabase-data-from-tanstack-start)**
`fetchInstruments` now returns and renders the query error instead of
silently returning an empty list (CodeRabbit finding); fixes stale file
paths and APIs from the previous version.


**[Vue](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/vue#7-create-the-supabase-client)**
Same
client-creation/[query-data](https://docs-git-docs-standardize-framework-quickstarts-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/vue#8-query-data-from-the-app)
split as the other Vite-based guides.

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.
