Adding a Supabase backend to your extension

Written By Udaya Prakash

Supabase is an open-source backend platform.

If you know Firebase, it's that, with the source open.

Connecting it gives your extension user accounts, a database and server-side logic, without you writing or hosting a backend.

How to set it up

  1. Create a free Supabase account and a project.

  2. Copy your project URL and API key from the Supabase dashboard.

  3. Paste both into PlugThis.

The code that connects the two is generated for you. From then on the extension can sign users in and store data.

Whose account it is

Yours. The data lives in your Supabase project, not ours, and it stays there if you stop using PlugThis.
