Build a User Management App with Nuxt 3 |
Learn how to use Supabase in your Nuxt 3 App. |
If you get stuck while working through this guide, refer to the full example on GitHub.
Let's start building the Vue 3 app from scratch.
We can use nuxi init
to create an app called nuxt-user-management
:
npx nuxi init nuxt-user-management
cd nuxt-user-management
Then let's install the only additional dependency: NuxtSupabase. We only need to import NuxtSupabase as a dev dependency.
npm install @nuxtjs/supabase --save-dev
And finally we want to save the environment variables in a .env
.
All we need are the API URL and the key that you copied earlier.
SUPABASE_URL="YOUR_SUPABASE_URL"
SUPABASE_KEY="YOUR_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY"
These variables will be exposed on the browser, and that's completely fine since we have Row Level Security enabled on our Database. Amazing thing about NuxtSupabase is that setting environment variables is all we need to do in order to start using Supabase. No need to initialize Supabase. The library will take care of it automatically.
An optional step is to update the CSS file assets/main.css
to make the app look nice.
You can find the full contents of this file here.
import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt'
// https://v3.nuxtjs.org/api/configuration/nuxt.config
export default defineNuxtConfig({
modules: ['@nuxtjs/supabase'],
css: ['@/assets/main.css'],
})
Let's set up a Vue component to manage logins and sign ups. We'll use Magic Links, so users can sign in with their email without using passwords.
<script setup>
const supabase = useSupabaseClient()
const loading = ref(false)
const email = ref('')
const handleLogin = async () => {
try {
loading.value = true
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOtp({ email: email.value })
if (error) throw error
alert('Check your email for the login link!')
} catch (error) {
alert(error.error_description || error.message)
} finally {
loading.value = false
}
}
</script>
<template>
<form class="row flex-center flex" @submit.prevent="handleLogin">
<div class="col-6 form-widget">
<h1 class="header">Supabase + Nuxt 3</h1>
<p class="description">Sign in via magic link with your email below</p>
<div>
<input class="inputField" type="email" placeholder="Your email" v-model="email" />
</div>
<div>
<input
type="submit"
class="button block"
:value="loading ? 'Loading' : 'Send magic link'"
:disabled="loading"
/>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</template>
To access the user information, use the composable useSupabaseUser provided by the Supabase Nuxt module.
After a user is signed in we can allow them to edit their profile details and manage their account.
Let's create a new component for that called Account.vue
.
<script setup>
const supabase = useSupabaseClient()
const loading = ref(true)
const username = ref('')
const website = ref('')
const avatar_path = ref('')
loading.value = true
const user = useSupabaseUser()
const { data } = await supabase
.from('profiles')
.select(`username, website, avatar_url`)
.eq('id', user.value.id)
.single()
if (data) {
username.value = data.username
website.value = data.website
avatar_path.value = data.avatar_url
}
loading.value = false
async function updateProfile() {
try {
loading.value = true
const user = useSupabaseUser()
const updates = {
id: user.value.id,
username: username.value,
website: website.value,
avatar_url: avatar_path.value,
updated_at: new Date(),
}
const { error } = await supabase.from('profiles').upsert(updates, {
returning: 'minimal', // Don't return the value after inserting
})
if (error) throw error
} catch (error) {
alert(error.message)
} finally {
loading.value = false
}
}
async function signOut() {
try {
loading.value = true
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
if (error) throw error
user.value = null
} catch (error) {
alert(error.message)
} finally {
loading.value = false
}
}
</script>
<template>
<form class="form-widget" @submit.prevent="updateProfile">
<div>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="text" :value="user.email" disabled />
</div>
<div>
<label for="username">Username</label>
<input id="username" type="text" v-model="username" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="website">Website</label>
<input id="website" type="url" v-model="website" />
</div>
<div>
<input
type="submit"
class="button primary block"
:value="loading ? 'Loading ...' : 'Update'"
:disabled="loading"
/>
</div>
<div>
<button class="button block" @click="signOut" :disabled="loading">Sign Out</button>
</div>
</form>
</template>
Now that we have all the components in place, let's update app.vue
:
<script setup>
const user = useSupabaseUser()
</script>
<template>
<div class="container" style="padding: 50px 0 100px 0">
<Account v-if="user" />
<Auth v-else />
</div>
</template>
Once that's done, run this in a terminal window:
npm run dev
And then open the browser to localhost:3000 and you should see the completed app.
Every Supabase project is configured with Storage for managing large files like photos and videos.
Let's create an avatar for the user so that they can upload a profile photo. We can start by creating a new component:
<script setup>
const props = defineProps(['path'])
const { path } = toRefs(props)
const emit = defineEmits(['update:path', 'upload'])
const supabase = useSupabaseClient()
const uploading = ref(false)
const src = ref('')
const files = ref()
const downloadImage = async () => {
try {
const { data, error } = await supabase.storage.from('avatars').download(path.value)
if (error) throw error
src.value = URL.createObjectURL(data)
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error downloading image: ', error.message)
}
}
const uploadAvatar = async (evt) => {
files.value = evt.target.files
try {
uploading.value = true
if (!files.value || files.value.length === 0) {
throw new Error('You must select an image to upload.')
}
const file = files.value[0]
const fileExt = file.name.split('.').pop()
const fileName = `${Math.random()}.${fileExt}`
const filePath = `${fileName}`
const { error: uploadError } = await supabase.storage.from('avatars').upload(filePath, file)
if (uploadError) throw uploadError
emit('update:path', filePath)
emit('upload')
} catch (error) {
alert(error.message)
} finally {
uploading.value = false
}
}
downloadImage()
watch(path, () => {
if (path.value) {
downloadImage()
}
})
</script>
<template>
<div>
<img
v-if="src"
:src="src"
alt="Avatar"
class="avatar image"
style="width: 10em; height: 10em;"
/>
<div v-else class="avatar no-image" :style="{ height: size, width: size }" />
<div style="width: 10em; position: relative;">
<label class="button primary block" for="single">
{{ uploading ? 'Uploading ...' : 'Upload' }}
</label>
<input
style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden;"
type="file"
id="single"
accept="image/*"
@change="uploadAvatar"
:disabled="uploading"
/>
</div>
</div>
</template>
And then we can add the widget to the Account page:
<script setup>
const supabase = useSupabaseClient()
const loading = ref(true)
const username = ref('')
const website = ref('')
const avatar_path = ref('')
loading.value = true
const user = useSupabaseUser()
const { data } = await supabase
.from('profiles')
.select(`username, website, avatar_url`)
.eq('id', user.value.id)
.single()
if (data) {
username.value = data.username
website.value = data.website
avatar_path.value = data.avatar_url
}
loading.value = false
async function updateProfile() {
try {
loading.value = true
const user = useSupabaseUser()
const updates = {
id: user.value.id,
username: username.value,
website: website.value,
avatar_url: avatar_path.value,
updated_at: new Date(),
}
const { error } = await supabase.from('profiles').upsert(updates, {
returning: 'minimal', // Don't return the value after inserting
})
if (error) throw error
} catch (error) {
alert(error.message)
} finally {
loading.value = false
}
}
async function signOut() {
try {
loading.value = true
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
if (error) throw error
} catch (error) {
alert(error.message)
} finally {
loading.value = false
}
}
</script>
<template>
<form class="form-widget" @submit.prevent="updateProfile">
<Avatar v-model:path="avatar_path" @upload="updateProfile" />
<div>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="text" :value="user.email" disabled />
</div>
<div>
<label for="username">Name</label>
<input id="username" type="text" v-model="username" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="website">Website</label>
<input id="website" type="url" v-model="website" />
</div>
<div>
<input
type="submit"
class="button primary block"
:value="loading ? 'Loading ...' : 'Update'"
:disabled="loading"
/>
</div>
<div>
<button class="button block" @click="signOut" :disabled="loading">Sign Out</button>
</div>
</form>
</template>
That is it! You should now be able to upload a profile photo to Supabase Storage and you have a fully functional application.
