This submodule provides convenience helpers for implementing user authentication in SvelteKit applications.
Using npm:
npm install @supabase/auth-helpers-sveltekit
This library supports the following tooling versions:
- Node.js:
^16.15.0
Set up the fillowing env vars. For local development you can set them in a .env
file. See an example here.
# Find these in your Supabase project settings > API
PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-anon-key
Create a server supabase client in a handle hook:
// src/hooks.server.ts
import { PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL, PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY } from '$env/static/public';
import { createSupabaseServerClient } from '@supabase/auth-helpers-sveltekit';
import type { Handle } from '@sveltejs/kit';
export const handle: Handle = async ({ event, resolve }) => {
event.locals.supabase = createSupabaseServerClient({
supabaseUrl: PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL,
supabaseKey: PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY,
event
});
/**
* a little helper that is written for convenience so that instead
* of calling `const { data: { session } } = await supabase.auth.getSession()`
* you just call this `await getSession()`
*/
event.locals.getSession = async () => {
const {
data: { session }
} = await event.locals.supabase.auth.getSession();
return session;
};
return resolve(event, {
filterSerializedResponseHeaders(name) {
return name === 'content-range';
}
});
};
Note that we are specifying
filterSerializedResponseHeaders
here. We need to tell SvelteKit that supabase needs thecontent-range
header.
In order to make the session available to the UI (pages, layouts) we need to pass the session in the root layout server load function:
// src/routes/+layout.server.ts
import type { LayoutServerLoad } from './$types';
export const load: LayoutServerLoad = async ({ locals: { getSession } }) => {
return {
session: getSession()
};
};
To be able to use Supabase in shared load functions and inside pages you need to create a Supabase client in the root layout load:
// src/routes/+layout.ts
import { PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL } from '$env/static/public';
import { createSupabaseLoadClient } from '@supabase/auth-helpers-sveltekit';
import type { LayoutLoad } from './$types';
import type { Database } from '../DatabaseDefinitions';
export const load: LayoutLoad = async ({ fetch, data, depends }) => {
depends('supabase:auth');
const supabase = createSupabaseLoadClient<Database>({
supabaseUrl: PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL,
supabaseKey: PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY,
event: { fetch },
serverSession: data.session
});
const {
data: { session }
} = await supabase.auth.getSession();
return { supabase, session };
};
The client can be accessed inside pages by $page.data.supabase
or data.supabase
when using export let data: PageData
.
The usage of depends
tells sveltekit that this load function should be executed whenever invalidate
is called to keep the page store in sync.
createSupabaseLoadClient
caches the client when running in a browser environment and therefore does not create a new client for every time the load function runs.
We need to create an event listener in the root +layout.svelte
file in order catch supabase events being triggered.
<!-- src/routes/+layout.svelte -->
<script lang="ts">
import { invalidate } from '$app/navigation';
import { onMount } from 'svelte';
import type { LayoutData } from './$types';
export let data: LayoutData;
$: ({ supabase, session } = data);
onMount(() => {
const {
data: { subscription },
} = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange((event, _session) => {
if (_session?.expires_at !== session?.expires_at) {
invalidate('supabase:auth');
}
});
return () => subscription.unsubscribe();
});
</script>
<slot />
The usage of invalidate
tells sveltekit that the root +layout.ts
load function should be executed whenever the session updates to keep the page store in sync.
In order to get the most out of TypeScript and it´s intellisense, you should import the generated Database types into the app.d.ts
type definition file that comes with your SvelteKit project, where import('./DatabaseDefinitions')
points to the generated types file outlined in v2 docs here after you have logged in, linked, and generated types through the Supabase CLI.
// src/app.d.ts
import { SupabaseClient, Session } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
import { Database } from './DatabaseDefinitions';
declare global {
namespace App {
interface Locals {
supabase: SupabaseClient<Database>;
getSession(): Promise<Session | null>;
}
interface PageData {
session: Session | null;
}
// interface Error {}
// interface Platform {}
}
}
For row level security to work properly when fetching data client-side, you need to use supabaseClient from PageData
and only run your query once the session is defined client-side:
<!-- src/routes/profile/+page.svelte -->
<script lang="ts">
import type { PageData } from './$types';
export let data: PageData;
$: ({ supabase, session } = data);
let loadedData = [];
async function loadData() {
const { data } = await supabase.from('test').select('*').limit(20);
loadedData = data;
}
$: if (session) {
loadData();
}
</script>
{#if session}
<p>client-side data fetching with RLS</p>
<pre>{JSON.stringify(loadedData, null, 2)}</pre>
{/if}
<!-- src/routes/profile/+page.svelte -->
<script lang="ts">
import type { PageData } from './$types';
export let data: PageData;
$: ({ user, tableData } = data);
</script>
<div>Protected content for {user.email}</div>
<pre>{JSON.stringify(tableData, null, 2)}</pre>
<pre>{JSON.stringify(user, null, 2)}</pre>
// src/routes/profile/+page.ts
import type { PageLoad } from './$types';
import { redirect } from '@sveltejs/kit';
export const load: PageLoad = async ({ parent }) => {
const { supabase, session } = await parent();
if (!session) {
throw redirect(303, '/');
}
const { data: tableData } = await supabase.from('test').select('*');
return {
user: session.user,
tableData
};
};
Wrap an API Route to check that the user has a valid session. If they're not logged in the session is null
.
// src/routes/api/protected-route/+server.ts
import type { RequestHandler } from './$types';
import { json, error } from '@sveltejs/kit';
export const GET: RequestHandler = async ({ locals: { supabase, getSession } }) => {
const session = await getSession();
if (!session) {
// the user is not signed in
throw error(401, { message: 'Unauthorized' });
}
const { data } = await supabase.from('test').select('*');
return json({ data });
};
If you visit /api/protected-route
without a valid session cookie, you will get a 401 response.
Wrap an Action to check that the user has a valid session. If they're not logged in the session is null
.
// src/routes/posts/+page.server.ts
import type { Actions } from './$types';
import { error, fail } from '@sveltejs/kit';
export const actions: Actions = {
createPost: async ({ request, locals: { supabase, getSession } }) => {
const session = await getSession();
if (!session) {
// the user is not signed in
throw error(401, { message: 'Unauthorized' });
}
// we are save, let the user create the post
const formData = await request.formData();
const content = formData.get('content');
const { error: createPostError, data: newPost } = await supabase
.from('posts')
.insert({ content });
if (createPostError) {
return fail(500, {
supabaseErrorMessage: createPostError.message
});
}
return {
newPost
};
}
};
If you try to submit a form with the action ?/createPost
without a valid session cookie, you will get a 401 error response.
import type { Actions } from './$types';
import { fail, redirect } from '@sveltejs/kit';
import { AuthApiError } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
export const actions: Actions = {
signin: async ({ request, locals: { supabase } }) => {
const formData = await request.formData();
const email = formData.get('email') as string;
const password = formData.get('password') as string;
const { error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithPassword({
email,
password
});
if (error) {
if (error instanceof AuthApiError && error.status === 400) {
return fail(400, {
error: 'Invalid credentials.',
values: {
email
}
});
}
return fail(500, {
error: 'Server error. Try again later.',
values: {
email
}
});
}
throw redirect(303, '/dashboard');
},
signout: async ({ locals: { supabase } }) => {
await supabase.auth.signOut();
throw redirect(303, '/');
}
};
To avoid writing the same auth logic in every single route you can use the handle hook to protect multiple routes at once.
// src/hooks.server.ts
import type { RequestHandler } from './$types';
import { getSupabase } from '@supabase/auth-helpers-sveltekit';
import { redirect, error } from '@sveltejs/kit';
export const handle: Handle = async ({ event, resolve }) => {
// protect requests to all routes that start with /protected-routes
if (event.url.pathname.startsWith('/protected-routes')) {
const session = await event.locals.getSession();
if (!session) {
// the user is not signed in
throw redirect(303, '/');
}
}
// protect POST requests to all routes that start with /protected-posts
if (event.url.pathname.startsWith('/protected-posts') && event.request.method === 'POST') {
const session = await event.locals.getSession();
if (!session) {
// the user is not signed in
throw error(303, '/');
}
}
return resolve(event);
};
