Supabase auth with Provider

Ask us anything

Hi,

I am trying to understand how Auth works for Webweb. I am building a web app with Supabase as my database and also using Linked as an auth provider with Supabase.

Current setup

  1. Setup Supabase as db and auth within WeWeb

  2. Setup Supabase and Linkedin as provider

  3. When a user clicks on the sign in button on the login page in preview mode they are redirected to the Linkedin auth page and then redirected a weweb editor page (for debugging)

  4. I have a supabase trigger that creates a new row in the profile table for the user when they sign up. I have setup RLS on the profile table such that only a user can see their profile

Questions:

  1. Post login, on the auth_redirect page, I see in my variables is_authenticated and user variable. How does this work? How can I build a case for when the login flow fails?

  2. In the profiles collection, I only see data for the logged in user, but I did not implement any filters on the collection. Is this by design? Does Weweb manage this automatically?

  3. Does Weweb handle the access tokens and integration with Supabase? If yes what are the key things I need to consider when building the app except RLS?

Thank you

  1. You should be able to see the error in the query parameter of your URL if the auth fails.
  2. It probably is RLS
  3. Yes
