Supabase JS SDK

Isomorphic JavaScript SDK for Supabase - combining Auth, Database, Storage, Functions, and Realtime.

Guides · Reference Docs · TypeDoc

Usage

First of all, you need to install the library:

npm install @supabase/supabase-js

Then you're able to import the library and establish the connection with the database:

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

// Create a single supabase client for interacting with your database
const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key')

UMD

You can use plain <script>s to import supabase-js from CDNs, like:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@supabase/supabase-js@2"></script>

or even:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@supabase/supabase-js@2"></script>

Then you can use it from a global supabase variable:

<script>
  const { createClient } = supabase
  const _supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key')

  console.log('Supabase Instance: ', _supabase)
  // ...
</script>

ESM

You can use <script type="module"> to import supabase-js from CDNs, like:

<script type="module">
  import { createClient } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@supabase/supabase-js/+esm'
  const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key')

  console.log('Supabase Instance: ', supabase)
  // ...
</script>

Deno

You can use supabase-js in the Deno runtime via JSR:

import { createClient } from 'jsr:@supabase/supabase-js@2'

Custom fetch implementation

supabase-js uses the cross-fetch library to make HTTP requests, but an alternative fetch implementation can be provided as an option. This is most useful in environments where cross-fetch is not compatible, for instance Cloudflare Workers:

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

// Provide a custom `fetch` implementation as an option
const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key', {
  global: {
    fetch: (...args) => fetch(...args),
  },
})

Support Policy

This section outlines the scope of support for various runtime environments in Supabase JavaScript client.

Node.js

We only support Node.js versions that are in Active LTS or Maintenance status as defined by the official Node.js release schedule. This means we support versions that are currently receiving long-term support and critical bug fixes.

When a Node.js version reaches end-of-life and is no longer in Active LTS or Maintenance status, Supabase will drop it in a minor release, and this won't be considered a breaking change.

⚠️ Node.js 18 Deprecation Notice

Node.js 18 reached end-of-life on April 30, 2025. As announced in our deprecation notice, support for Node.js 18 was dropped in version 2.79.0.

If you must use Node.js 18, please use version 2.78.0, which is the last version that supported Node.js 18.

Deno

We support Deno versions that are currently receiving active development and security updates. We follow the official Deno release schedule and only support versions from the stable and lts release channels.

When a Deno version reaches end-of-life and is no longer receiving security updates, Supabase will drop it in a minor release, and this won't be considered a breaking change.

Browsers

All modern browsers are supported. We support browsers that provide native fetch API. For Realtime features, browsers must also support native WebSocket API.

Bun

We support Bun runtime environments. Bun provides native fetch support and is compatible with Node.js APIs. Since Bun does not follow a structured release schedule like Node.js or Deno, we support current stable versions of Bun and may drop support for older versions in minor releases without considering it a breaking change.

React Native

We support React Native environments with fetch polyfills provided by the framework. Since React Native does not follow a structured release schedule, we support current stable versions and may drop support for older versions in minor releases without considering it a breaking change.

Cloudflare Workers

We support Cloudflare Workers runtime environments. Cloudflare Workers provides native fetch support. Since Cloudflare Workers does not follow a structured release schedule, we support current stable versions and may drop support for older versions in minor releases without considering it a breaking change.

Important Notes

• Experimental features: Features marked as experimental may be removed or changed without notice

Known Build Warnings

UNUSED_EXTERNAL_IMPORT in Vite / Rollup / Nuxt

When bundling your app, you may see warnings like:

"PostgrestError" is imported from external module "@supabase/postgrest-js" but never used in "...supabase-js/dist/index.mjs".
"FunctionRegion", "FunctionsError", "FunctionsFetchError", "FunctionsHttpError" and "FunctionsRelayError" are imported from external module "@supabase/functions-js" but never used in "...".

This is a false positive — your bundle is fine. Here is why it happens:

@supabase/supabase-js re-exports PostgrestError, FunctionsError, and related symbols so you can import them directly from @supabase/supabase-js. However, our build tool merges all imports from the same package into a single import statement in the built output:

// dist/index.mjs (simplified)
import { PostgrestClient, PostgrestError } from '@supabase/postgrest-js'
//       ^ used internally    ^ re-exported for you

Your bundler checks which names from that import are used in the code body, and flags PostgrestError as unused because it only appears in an export statement — not called or assigned. The export itself is the usage, but downstream bundlers don't track this correctly. This is a known Rollup/Vite limitation with re-exported external imports.

Nothing is broken. Tree-shaking and bundle size are unaffected.

To suppress the warning:

Vite / Rollup (vite.config.js or rollup.config.js):

export default {
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      onwarn(warning, warn) {
        if (warning.code === 'UNUSED_EXTERNAL_IMPORT' && warning.exporter?.includes('@supabase/'))
          return
        warn(warning)
      },
    },
  },
}

Nuxt (nuxt.config.ts):

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  vite: {
    build: {
      rollupOptions: {
        onwarn(warning, warn) {
          if (warning.code === 'UNUSED_EXTERNAL_IMPORT' && warning.exporter?.includes('@supabase/'))
            return
          warn(warning)
        },
      },
    },
  },
})
