How Supabase and Jamsocket work together

Use Y-Sweet, Jamsocket's Yjs server, for document collaboration.

Y-Sweet is a Yjs sync server with built-in persistence to S3. This demo uses Y-Sweet to sync and persist documents as users edit.

Use Supabase for document management.

Supabase manages everything around the document, from document permissions to user authentication.

Clone and run locally

Create a Y-Sweet service via the Jamsocket dashboard
Create a Supabase project via the Supabase dashboard

Clone the Y-Sweet Supabase Starter template using

gh repo clone jamsocket/y-sweet-supabase-demo

git clone git@github.com:jamsocket/y-sweet-supabase-demo.git

Rename .env.example to .env.local and update the following:
```
SUPABASE_DATABASE_URL=[INSERT SUPABASE PROJECT URL]
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=[INSERT SUPABASE PROJECT API ANON KEY]
Y_SWEET_CONNECTION_STRING=[INSERT Y_SWEET CONNECTION STRING]
```
Both SUPABASE_DATABASE_URL and SUPABASE_ANON_KEY can be found in your Supabase project's API settings

Create a connection string in your Y-Sweet service page and supply the value to Y_SWEET_CONNECTION_STRING
Setup your database on Supabase and run the commands in setup.sql
In the Auth Providers page, disable Confirm Email under Email. For the purposes of this demo, disabling Confirm Email will allow us to focus on the application logic itself.
You can now run the Next.js local development server:

The starter kit should now be running on localhost:3000.
Y-Sweet allows you to choose where you persist your documents. This demo uses Y-Sweet's Bring Your Own Storage feature to automatically persist your document to your own AWS S3 Bucket. Contact us to get set up, or explore Supabase's storage service.

Deploy to Netlify

The above will also clone the Starter kit to your GitHub, you can clone that locally and develop locally.

Once you've added this project to Netlify, install the Jamsocket and Supabase extensions to add the necessary environment variables for your application.
