Use Supabase with Laravel
Learn how to create a PHP Laravel project, connect it to your Supabase Postgres database, and configure user authentication.
Create a Laravel Project
Make sure your PHP and Composer versions are up to date, then use composer create-project
to scaffold a new Laravel project.
See the Laravel docs for more details.
Install the Authentication template
Install Laravel Breeze, a simple implementation of all of Laravel's authentication features.
Set up the Postgres connection details
Go to database.new and create a new Supabase project. Save your database password securely.
When your project is up and running, navigate to the database settings to find the URI connection string. Make sure Use connection pooling is checked and Session mode is selected. Then copy the URI. Replace the password placeholder with your saved database password.
If your network supports IPv6 connections, you can also use the direct connection string. Uncheck Use connection pooling and copy the new URI.
Change the default schema
By default Laravel uses the public
schema. We recommend changing this as supabase exposes the public
schema as a data API.
You can change the schema of your Laravel application by modifying the search_path
variable app/config/database.php
.
Run the database migrations
Laravel ships with database migration files that set up the required tables for Laravel Authentication and User Management.
Note: Laravel does not use Supabase Auth but rather implements its own authentication system!
Start the app
Run the development server. Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 in a browser to see your application. You can also navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/register and http://127.0.0.1:8000/login to register and log in users.
