- description
- Use Prisma Next with a Supabase project via `@prisma-next/extension-supabase` — wire `extensions: [supabasePack]`, declare cross-space FKs to `supabase:auth.AuthUser`, author RLS policies (`policy_select` / `policy_update` / `@@rls`, `auth.uid()` predicates), build `db.ts` with the `supabase()` factory, bind roles per request (`asUser(jwt)` / `asAnon()` / `asServiceRole()`), query `auth.*` / `storage.*` via the `db.asServiceRole().supabase` admin root, and validate JWTs (`jwksUrl` for current projects / `jwtSecret` for legacy HS256). Use for supabase, RLS, row level security, policy, role binding, anon, authenticated, service_role, auth.users, auth.uid(), JWT, JWKS, SUPABASE_JWKS_URL, SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET, SUPABASE.JWT_INVALID, SUPABASE.CONFIG_INVALID, RoleBoundDb, session pooler, supabase:auth.AuthUser, @prisma-next/extension-supabase.
# Prisma Next — Supabase
> **Edit your data contract. Prisma handles the rest.**
This skill covers using Prisma Next against a **Supabase** project end-to-end: composing the Supabase extension pack, referencing Supabase-owned tables from your contract, authoring row-level-security (RLS) policies, and running role-bound queries through the `supabase()` runtime.
## When to Use
- User has a Supabase project (or wants one) and is wiring Prisma Next into it.
- User wants RLS policies on their tables (`policy_select`, `@@rls`, `auth.uid()`).
- User wants per-request role binding (`asUser(jwt)`, `asAnon()`, `asServiceRole()`).
- User wants a foreign key into `auth.users` (cross-space FK).
- User wants to read Supabase-internal tables (`auth.*`, `storage.*`) as an admin.
- User mentions: *supabase, RLS, row level security, policy, anon, authenticated, service_role, auth.users, auth.uid(), JWT, jwtSecret, jwksUrl, SUPABASE.JWT_INVALID, RoleBoundDb, session pooler*.
## When Not to Use
- General contract editing (models, fields, relations) → `prisma-next-contract`.
- Non-Supabase `db.ts` wiring, middleware, teardown → `prisma-next-runtime`.
- General query shapes (filtering, includes, aggregates) → `prisma-next-queries` — everything there applies to a role-bound `db` too.
- Migration planning / applying → `prisma-next-migrations`.
## Key Concepts
- **The pack is an `external` contract space.** `@prisma-next/extension-supabase/pack` ships a complete, introspection-generated contract of everything Supabase owns — the `auth` and `storage` schemas, their native enum types, and the platform roles (`anon`, `authenticated`, `service_role`) — all with control policy `external`. Composed via `extensions`, it means: the migration planner **emits no DDL** for those objects (Supabase manages them), and `db verify` **confirms they exist** in the live database. Your own tables stay `managed` as usual.
- **Roles come from the pack; you never declare them.** RLS `roles = [authenticated]` identifiers resolve against the composed contract. Pointing the runtime at a non-Supabase Postgres fails verify with a `not-found` issue naming the missing role — the common "wrong database" misconfiguration surfaces before queries run.
- **The runtime is role-first.** `supabase()` returns a `SupabaseDb` with **no top-level query surface** — there is no `db.sql` / `db.orm` until you bind a role. `await db.asUser(jwt)` / `db.asAnon()` / `db.asServiceRole()` each return a `RoleBoundDb` exposing `.sql`, `.orm`, `.raw`, `.execute(plan)`, and `.transaction(fn)`. This is deliberate: in a Supabase app there is no meaningful "no role" execution context, and defaulting to the connection's login role is a silent-RLS-bypass footgun.
- **Role binding is below middleware and cannot leak.** Each role-bound query runs on a connection that had `set_config('role', …)` and `set_config('request.jwt.claims', …)` applied beneath the user-middleware chain, with `RESET ALL` on release. Postgres-side `auth.uid()` / `auth.jwt()` read those session vars — RLS enforcement is Postgres's job; the runtime's job is binding the context.
- **RLS is enforced by policies *and* grants.** Policies filter *rows*; `GRANT` controls *table access*. Prisma Next authors and migrates the policies; it does not author grants (see *What Prisma Next doesn't do yet*). A role with policies but no `GRANT` gets a permission error, not filtered rows. On Supabase your `public` tables already carry the platform-role grants via default privileges — the grant that is actually missing out of the box is `service_role`'s on `auth.*` / `storage.*` (see *Workflow — Grants*).
- **JWT validation is eager and configurable — current Supabase projects need `jwksUrl`.** `asUser(jwt)` verifies the token (via `jose`) *before* any connection is acquired: signature + expiry against `jwksUrl` (asymmetric signing keys — **the default on current Supabase projects**, which sign ES256) **xor** `jwtSecret` (the symmetric HS256 secret — legacy projects only). Both or neither → a structured error with code `SUPABASE.CONFIG_INVALID`. Bad tokens throw a structured error with code `SUPABASE.JWT_INVALID` and a typed `meta.reason` — including a mismatch between the token's algorithm and the configured key source (an ES256 token against a `jwtSecret` client names the problem and tells you to switch to `jwksUrl`). The Postgres role is derived from the token's `role` claim (defaults to `authenticated`). Note: `supabase status` still prints a `JWT_SECRET` even on projects that sign ES256 — its presence does not mean your project uses it.
- **Admin access to `auth.*` / `storage.*` is a secondary root on `service_role` only — and needs a one-time grant.** `db.asServiceRole().supabase` exposes the pack's own contract (`.sql`, `.orm`, `.nativeEnums`, `.execute`). The root exists only on `service_role` by design, but a real Supabase project grants `service_role` **no table privileges** on `auth.*` / `storage.*` (only schema `USAGE`; only `postgres` holds table grants). Before the admin root can read a Supabase-internal table, run the narrow grant once (see *Workflow — Grants*). `asUser` / `asAnon` have no `.supabase`, and the primary `asServiceRole().sql` / `.orm` stay scoped to *your* contract.
## Workflow — Wire the pack into the config
The concept: the pack registers the Supabase contract space so your contract can reference it and the planner/verifier know what Supabase owns. The extension has no `/control` subpath yet, so it can't go through the target façade's `defineConfig({ extensions: [...] })` — it wires into the low-level config's `extensions` (see *What Prisma Next doesn't do yet*). The low-level imports below are a **deliberate exception** to the façade-only import rule, forced by that gap; the block mirrors `examples/supabase/prisma-next.config.ts` verbatim — copy it rather than composing your own:
```typescript
// prisma-next.config.ts
import postgresAdapter from '@prisma-next/adapter-postgres/control';
import { defineConfig } from '@prisma-next/cli/config-types';
import postgresDriver from '@prisma-next/driver-postgres/control';
import supabasePack from '@prisma-next/extension-supabase/pack';
import sql from '@prisma-next/family-sql/control';
import { prismaContract } from '@prisma-next/sql-contract-psl/provider';
import postgres from '@prisma-next/target-postgres/control';
import postgresPackRef from '@prisma-next/target-postgres/pack';
import { postgresCreateNamespace } from '@prisma-next/target-postgres/types';
export default defineConfig({
family: sql,
target: postgres,
adapter: postgresAdapter,
driver: postgresDriver,
extensions: [supabasePack],
contract: prismaContract('./src/contract.prisma', {
output: 'src/contract.json',
target: postgresPackRef,
createNamespace: postgresCreateNamespace,
}),
migrations: { dir: 'migrations' },
});
```
## Workflow — Contract: FK into `auth.users` + RLS policies
The concept: your models live in your namespaces (`public`); Supabase's live in the pack's (`auth`, `storage`). A relation field typed `supabase:auth.AuthUser` is a **cross-space FK** — the planner emits `REFERENCES "auth"."users"("id")`, and the target table is verified, never migrated. RLS policies are top-level `policy_<operation>` blocks in the same namespace as their target model, and the target model must opt in with `@@rls`. Mirror `examples/supabase/src/contract.prisma`:
```prisma
namespace public {
model Profile {
id Uuid @id @default(uuid())
username String
userId Uuid @unique
user supabase:auth.AuthUser @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
@@map("profile")
@@rls
}
// authenticated may read only their own profile.
policy_select profile_owner_read {
target = Profile
roles = [authenticated]
using = "\"userId\"::uuid = auth.uid()"
}
// anon may read every profile (a public directory listing).
policy_select profile_public_read {
target = Profile
roles = [anon]
using = "true"
}
// authenticated may update only their own profile, and may not
// reassign it to another owner (WITH CHECK).
policy_update profile_owner_write {
target = Profile
roles = [authenticated]
using = "\"userId\"::uuid = auth.uid()"
withCheck = "\"userId\"::uuid = auth.uid()"
}
}
```
The `Uuid` constructor selects native UUID storage in type position. The legacy `@db.Uuid` spelling is removed; rewrite any `String @db.Uuid` alias or field as `Uuid` before emitting.
The pieces:
- **Per-operation policy blocks**: `policy_select`, `policy_insert`, `policy_update`, `policy_delete`, `policy_all`. Body is `key = value`: `target` (a model in this namespace), `roles` (resolve against the composed contract — the pack supplies `anon` / `authenticated` / `service_role`), `using`, and (for write operations) `withCheck`. Multiple permissive policies per `(target, operation)` are valid — Postgres ORs them.
- **`@@rls` is required on policy targets.** A `policy_*` block whose target model lacks `@@rls` fails emit with `PSL_EXTENSION_TARGET_MODEL_MISSING_ATTRIBUTE`. A model with `@@rls` and *no* policies is also meaningful: RLS enabled, deny-all.
- **Predicates are verbatim SQL strings.** Quote camelCase column names inside them (`\"userId\"`), and cast where needed — `auth.uid()` returns `uuid`. Renames in your contract do not rewrite predicate bodies.
- **TS-builder parity exists.** `@prisma-next/postgres/contract-builder` exports `policySelect` / `policyInsert` / `policyUpdate` / `policyDelete` / `policyAll`, `rlsEnabled(Model)`, and `role('anon')` — mirroring the PSL lowering key-for-key (identical emitted wire names). PSL is the canonical path shown here.
Emit + migrate as usual (`prisma-next contract emit`, then `prisma-next-migrations`). The plan creates your table, its FK, `ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY`, and the `CREATE POLICY` statements — and **no DDL for `auth.*`**.
## Workflow — `db.ts` with the `supabase()` factory
The concept: instead of the stock `postgres()` factory, a Supabase app builds its client with `supabase()` from the extension's `/runtime` subpath. The factory is **async** (it prepares JWT key material — including the one-time JWKS fetch when `jwksUrl` is set), and the result is role-first.
```typescript
// src/prisma/db.ts
import { supabase } from '@prisma-next/extension-supabase/runtime';
import type { Contract } from './contract.d';
import contractJson from './contract.json' with { type: 'json' };
export const db = await supabase<Contract>({
contractJson,
url: process.env['DATABASE_URL'], // direct Postgres connection — see pitfalls
jwksUrl: process.env['SUPABASE_JWKS_URL'], // https://<project-ref>.supabase.co/auth/v1/.well-known/jwks.json
// Legacy HS256 projects use jwtSecret: process.env['SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET'] instead — exactly one of the two.
});
```
Options beyond the basics: `middleware` (same composition as `postgres()` — see `prisma-next-runtime`; middleware never sees the role-binding `set_config` calls), `poolOptions`, `pg` (BYO `pg.Pool` / `pg.Client` instead of `url`). Teardown is `await db.close()` / `await using` exactly as in `prisma-next-runtime` — the same script-hang rules apply.
## Workflow — Role-bound queries
The concept: bind the role that should execute the request, then query through the returned `RoleBoundDb` — every query surface from `prisma-next-queries` works, RLS-filtered by Postgres.
```typescript
// A signed-in user: rows are RLS-scoped to the JWT's auth.uid().
const userDb = await db.asUser(jwt); // async — rejects with code SUPABASE.JWT_INVALID on a bad/expired token
const mine = await userDb.orm.public.Profile.select('id', 'username').all();
// The anon role: sees what anon policies permit.
const listing = await db.asAnon().orm.public.Profile.select('id', 'username').all();
// service_role: BYPASSRLS — sees everything in YOUR contract.
const all = await db.asServiceRole().orm.public.Profile.select('id', 'username').all();
// Writes ride the same surfaces; RLS filters them too. An UPDATE against
// another owner's row affects 0 rows; a withCheck violation raises an error.
const updated = await userDb.orm.public.Profile
.where({ userId: me })
.updateAndCount({ username: 'new-name' });
```
Notes: `asAnon()` / `asServiceRole()` are sync; only `asUser` is async. Multi-namespace contracts address models by coordinate (`orm.public.Profile`, `sql.public.profile`) — see `prisma-next-queries` § *Namespace-aware accessors*. `RoleBoundDb.transaction(fn)` wraps work in a transaction on the role-bound session.
## Workflow — Admin reads of `auth.*` / `storage.*`
The concept: Supabase-internal tables are not part of your contract, so they are not on your query surfaces. The `service_role` binding carries a **secondary root** — `db.asServiceRole().supabase` — which is the *pack's* contract surface:
```typescript
const admin = db.asServiceRole();
// SQL builder over the pack contract:
const users = await admin.supabase
.execute(admin.supabase.sql.auth.users.select('id', 'email').build())
.toArray();
// ORM over the pack contract:
const sessions = await admin.supabase.orm.auth.AuthSession.select('id', 'aal').all();
// Native enum values (e.g. auth.aal_level) come typed:
type AalLevel = (typeof admin.supabase.nativeEnums.auth.AalLevel)['Value'];
```
**The admin root needs a one-time grant.** A real Supabase project gives `service_role` no table privileges on `auth.*` / `storage.*` — out of the box, the reads above fail with `permission denied for table users` (sqlState `42501`). Grant exactly what you read, narrowly:
```sql
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA auth TO service_role;
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE auth.users TO service_role;
```
Other boundaries to respect: `asUser` / `asAnon` have **no** `.supabase`; the admin root has **no** `.transaction` (it is a separate contract-bound runtime sharing the pool — a transaction spanning both roots is out of scope); and for user *management* (creating users, password resets) prefer the GoTrue Admin API — Supabase-internal schemas can drift across platform upgrades; direct `service_role` SQL is for ad-hoc admin reads.
## Workflow — Grants
The concept: RLS policies are row filters on top of ordinary table privileges — a role with policies but no `GRANT` gets `permission denied`, not filtered rows. On Supabase the two directions are easy to get backwards:
- **Your own `public` tables need nothing.** Supabase ships `ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES` on `public`, so tables created by `prisma-next db init` / `migrate` inherit full grants for `anon` / `authenticated` / `service_role` automatically — the same as dashboard-created tables. RLS policies are what actually protect the rows; do not add per-table grants, and do not narrow the defaults unless you have a reason.
- **The one grant you do need is for admin reads of Supabase-internal tables** — `service_role` has no table privileges on `auth.*` / `storage.*` (see *Admin reads* above for the narrow `GRANT USAGE` / `GRANT SELECT` pair).
Run grants via the Supabase SQL editor or `psql`. Symptom of a missing grant: `permission denied for table …` (sqlState `42501`) instead of an empty result.
