Implementing Next.js with Supabase

Interactive guide for implementing features using patterns from .claude/modules/nextjs-patterns.md and .claude/modules/supabase-security.md.

Quick Decision: Server or Client Component?

Use this decision tree to choose the right component type:

Step 1: Does it need user interaction?

• onClick, onChange, onSubmit handlers?
• useState, useEffect, or other React hooks?
• Browser APIs (localStorage, window)?

→ YES = Client Component ('use client') → NO = Continue to Step 2

Step 2: Does it fetch data from database/API?

• Supabase queries?
• Fetch from external API?
• Read from database?

→ YES = Server Component (default) → NO = Server Component (default, unless Step 1 was yes)

Common Scenarios

| What You're Building | Component Type | Supabase Client | |---------------------|----------------|-----------------| | Page that displays recipes | Server Component | @/lib/supabase/server | | Save/delete button | Client Component | @/lib/supabase/client | | Form with validation | Client Component | @/lib/supabase/client | | Form with Server Action | Server Component | Use Server Action | | Real-time chat | Client Component | @/lib/supabase/client | | Dashboard with data | Server Component | @/lib/supabase/server | | API route handler | Server (Route Handler) | @/lib/supabase/server |

Implementation Patterns

Pattern 1: Server Component with Data Fetching

When: Displaying data from database File location: app/**/page.tsx or app/**/layout.tsx

// app/recipes/page.tsx
import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server'
import RecipeList from '@/components/RecipeList'

export default async function RecipesPage() {
  const supabase = await createClient()

  // Fetch data on server
  const { data: recipes, error } = await supabase
    .from('saved_recipes')
    .select('*')

  // Handle errors
  if (error) {
    return <ErrorDisplay message="Failed to load recipes" />
  }

  // Pass data to components
  return <RecipeList recipes={recipes} />
}

See: nextjs-patterns.md

Pattern 2: Client Component with Interactivity

When: User interactions, state management File location: components/**/*.tsx

// components/SaveButton.tsx
'use client'

import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/client'
import { useState } from 'react'

export default function SaveButton({ recipeId }: { recipeId: string }) {
  const [saving, setSaving] = useState(false)
  const supabase = createClient()

  const handleSave = async () => {
    setSaving(true)
    const { error } = await supabase
      .from('saved_recipes')
      .insert({ id: recipeId })

    if (error) {
      console.error('Save failed:', error)
    }
    setSaving(false)
  }

  return (
    <button onClick={handleSave} disabled={saving}>
      {saving ? 'Saving...' : 'Save Recipe'}
    </button>
  )
}

See: nextjs-patterns.md

Pattern 3: Server Component → Client Component (Data Flow)

When: Need to pass server data to interactive components Rule: Only pass required fields, never full objects

// app/profile/page.tsx (Server Component)
import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server'
import ProfileEditor from '@/components/ProfileEditor' // Client Component

export default async function ProfilePage() {
  const supabase = await createClient()
  const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()

  if (!user) {
    redirect('/login')
  }

  // ✅ CORRECT: Pass only required fields
  return (
    <ProfileEditor
      userId={user.id}
      email={user.email}
      name={user.user_metadata?.name}
    />
  )

  // ❌ WRONG: Don't pass full user object (security risk)
  // return <ProfileEditor user={user} />
}

See: supabase-security.md

Pattern 4: Server Action for Mutations

When: Form submissions, data mutations File location: app/actions.ts or colocated with page

// app/actions.ts
'use server'

import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server'
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function saveRecipe(formData: FormData) {
  const supabase = await createClient()

  // Validate user
  const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()
  if (!user) {
    return { error: 'Unauthorized' }
  }

  // Extract form data
  const name = formData.get('name') as string
  const ingredients = formData.get('ingredients') as string

  // Perform mutation
  const { error } = await supabase
    .from('saved_recipes')
    .insert({ name, ingredients, user_id: user.id })

  if (error) {
    return { error: error.message }
  }

  // Revalidate cache
  revalidatePath('/recipes')
  return { success: true }
}

See: nextjs-patterns.md

Which Supabase Client?

Critical rule: Use the correct client for the environment.

| Environment | Import | Usage | |------------|--------|-------| | Server Component | import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server' | const supabase = await createClient() | | Client Component | import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/client' | const supabase = createClient() | | Server Action | import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server' | const supabase = await createClient() | | Route Handler | import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server' | const supabase = await createClient() | | Middleware | import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/middleware' | const { supabase } = createClient(request) |

See: supabase-security.md

Security Checklist

Before implementing, verify:

• [ ] Using correct Supabase client for environment?
• [ ] Server Component for data fetching (not Client)?
• [ ] Only passing required fields to Client Components?
• [ ] Using getUser() not getSession() for auth validation?
• [ ] No sensitive data exposed to client?
• [ ] RLS policies considered for data access?

See: supabase-security.md

Common Mistakes to Avoid

| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Fix | |-----------|--------| | Async Client Component | Use Server Component or useEffect | | Wrong Supabase client | Check table above | | Passing full user object | Pass only needed fields | | any types | Use specific types from lib/supabase/types.ts | | No error handling | Always check for errors | | Missing loading states | Show spinner/skeleton |

🔄 Workflow

Kaynak: Supabase SSR Guide (Next.js) & Next.js 15 App Router Security

Aşama 1: Environment & Client Initialization

• [ ] Client Selection: İhtiyaca göre @supabase/ssr kullanarak Server Client (RSC/Actions) veya Browser Client (RCC) başlat.
• [ ] Middleware Guard: RLS (Row Level Security) ek olarak, Middleware üzerinde oturum kontrolü ve session refresh mekanizmasını kur.
• [ ] Type Mapping: database.types.ts dosyasını otomatik generate et ve Supabase instance'ına enjekte et.

Aşama 2: Data Orchestration

• [ ] Server-Side Fetching: Veriyi en üst seviyede (Page/Layout) Server Component'te çek ve alt bileşenlere (RCC) minimum veri ile aktar.
• [ ] Server Actions: Form mutation'ları için use server direktifiyle güvenli aksiyonlar tanımla ve revalidatePath ile cache'i güncelle.
• [ ] RLS Audit: Veritabanı seviyesinde auth.uid() bazlı politikaların tüm tablolar için (SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE) aktif olduğunu doğrula.

Aşama 3: Security & Real-time Ops

• [ ] Auth Validation: getSession() yerine her zaman daha güvenli olan getUser() metodunu tercih et.
• [ ] Real-time Handling: Değişiklikleri anlık yansıtmak için supabase.channel() üzerinden subscription'ları kur ve temizle (unmount).
• [ ] Edge Functions: Yoğun işlem gerektiren veya 3. parti API entegrasyonu (örn: Stripe/SendGrid) için Edge Functions kullan.

Kontrol Noktaları

| Aşama | Doğrulama | |-------|-----------| | 1 | Service Role Key asla client-side kodda (RCC) kullanılıyor mu? | | 2 | Form submit sonrası "Optimistic UI" güncellemeleri yapıldı mı? | | 3 | process.env verileri hem local hem de üretim (Supabase Dashboard) ortamında uyumlu mu? |

Quick Reference

Server Component template:

import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server'

export default async function Page() {
  const supabase = await createClient()
  const { data, error } = await supabase.from('table').select('*')
  if (error) return <Error />
  return <Component data={data} />
}

Client Component template:

'use client'
import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/client'
import { useState } from 'react'

export default function Component() {
  const [state, setState] = useState()
  const supabase = createClient()
  // Your interactive logic
  return <div onClick={handler}>...</div>
}

Server Action template:

'use server'
import { createClient } from '@/lib/supabase/server'
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache'

export async function action(formData: FormData) {
  const supabase = await createClient()
  const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()
  if (!user) return { error: 'Unauthorized' }

  // Mutation logic
  revalidatePath('/path')
  return { success: true }
}
