## Usage

First of all, you need to install the library:

```sh
npm install @supabase/supabase-js
```

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

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

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

### UMD

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

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

or even:

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

Then you can use it from a global `supabase` variable:

```html
<script>
  const { createClient } = supabase
  const _supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'your-publishable-key')

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

### ESM

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

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

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

### Deno

You can use supabase-js in the Deno runtime via [JSR](https://jsr.io/@supabase/supabase-js):

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

### Custom `fetch` implementation

`supabase-js` uses the runtime's global `fetch` to make HTTP requests, but an alternative `fetch` implementation can be provided as an option. This is useful in environments where the global `fetch` is unavailable or where you want to customize request behavior:

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

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

### Distributed Tracing with OpenTelemetry

The Supabase JS SDK can attach W3C/OpenTelemetry trace context headers (`traceparent`, `tracestate`, `baggage`) to outgoing requests, enabling end-to-end request tracing from your client application through Supabase services.

Trace propagation is **opt-in** and disabled by default. When enabled, headers are only attached to requests targeting Supabase domains (`*.supabase.co`, `*.supabase.in`, `localhost`).

#### Enable trace propagation

```js
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
import { trace } from '@opentelemetry/api'

const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key', {
  tracePropagation: true,
})

const tracer = trace.getTracer('my-app')
await tracer.startActiveSpan('fetch-users', async (span) => {
  // This request now includes the active trace context.
  const { data, error } = await supabase.from('users').select('*')
  span.end()
})
```

If `@opentelemetry/api` is not installed or no active context exists, the SDK silently no-ops.

#### Advanced configuration

```typescript
interface TracePropagationOptions {
  // Enable trace propagation (default: false).
  enabled?: boolean

  // Respect upstream sampling decisions (default: true).
  // When true, headers are skipped if the upstream trace is not sampled.
  respectSamplingDecision?: boolean
}
```

```js
// Always propagate, even for non-sampled traces.
const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key', {
  tracePropagation: { enabled: true, respectSamplingDecision: false },
})
```

## 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](https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases#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](https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/37217), 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.

> ⚠️ **Node.js 20 Deprecation Notice**
>
> Node.js 20 reached end-of-life on April 30, 2026. As announced in [our deprecation notice](https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/45715), support for Node.js 20 was dropped in version `2.110.0`.
>
> If you must use Node.js 20, please use version `2.109.0`, which is the last version that supported Node.js 20.

### Deno

We support Deno versions that are currently receiving active development and security updates. We follow the [official Deno release schedule](https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/stability_and_releases/) 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:

```js
// 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`):**

```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`):**

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