Getting Started

Install

You can use our AI-Assisted Setup to install the plugin. Add the Capgo skills to your AI tool using the following command:

npx skills add https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo-skills --skill capacitor-plugins

Then use the following prompt:

Use the `capacitor-plugins` skill from `Cap-go/capgo-skills` to install the `@capgo/capacitor-supabase` plugin in my project.

If you prefer Manual Setup, install the plugin by running the following commands and follow the platform-specific instructions below:

npm install @capgo/capacitor-supabase
npx cap sync

Android Minimum SDK

The Android implementation requires Android 8.0 or newer. Set minSdkVersion = 26 in android/variables.gradle.

Initialize The Client

import { CapacitorSupabase } from '@capgo/capacitor-supabase';

await CapacitorSupabase.initialize({
  supabaseUrl: 'https://your-project.supabase.co',
  supabaseKey: 'your-anon-key',
});

Sign In And Access The JWT

const { session, user } = await CapacitorSupabase.signInWithPassword({
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: 'password123',
});

console.log('User', user?.id);
console.log('JWT available', Boolean(session?.accessToken));

Listen For Auth Changes

const listener = await CapacitorSupabase.addListener('authStateChange', ({ event, session }) => {
  console.log('Auth event', event);
  console.log('Current JWT available', Boolean(session?.accessToken));
});

await listener.remove();

Pair Native Auth With supabase-js

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

const { session } = await CapacitorSupabase.getSession();

const supabase = createClient('https://your-project.supabase.co', 'your-anon-key', {
  global: {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${session?.accessToken}`,
    },
  },
});

const { data } = await supabase.from('table').select('*');
console.log(data);

Native Database Helpers

const { data, error } = await CapacitorSupabase.select({
  table: 'users',
  columns: 'id, name, email',
  filter: { active: true },
  limit: 10,
  orderBy: 'created_at',
  ascending: false,
});

console.log(data, error);

Recommended Usage

• Use this plugin for authentication and session management.
• Keep Realtime, Storage, Edge Functions, and advanced querying in @supabase/supabase-js.
• Pass the native JWT into the JavaScript client whenever you need the rest of the Supabase surface area.
