Supabase Edge Functions

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with Supabase Edge Functions, which are serverless TypeScript/JavaScript functions hosted on Deno Deploy within your Supabase project. It allows for invoking these functions using HTTP requests (POST and GET), deploying new function code, and managing their lifecycle. Essentially, this skill provides a programmatic way to automate tasks and trigger actions directly from your Supabase Edge Functions.

When to use it

• Automating data processing: Trigger a function when specific events occur in your database or application logic.
• Integrating with external services: Use an Edge Function as a proxy to interact with APIs that are not directly accessible from the client-side.
• Implementing custom authentication flows: Invoke functions requiring user authentication using access tokens.
• Deploying new function code: Automate the deployment of changes made to your Supabase Edge Functions.

Key capabilities

• Invoking Edge Functions via HTTP POST requests.
• Invoking Edge Functions via HTTP GET requests.
• Passing custom headers, including API keys and authorization tokens, during invocation.
• Creating new Edge Function projects using the Supabase CLI.
• Provides a basic function template for development.

Example prompts

• "Invoke the 'hello-world' Edge Function with the name 'Alice'."
• "Execute the 'get-data' Edge Function and pass an ID of 123."
• "Deploy the newly created edge function named 'my-function'."

Tips & gotchas

• Prerequisites: You will need to have the Supabase CLI installed and configured, along with Deno for local development.
• Environment Variables: The skill requires SUPABASE_URL and SUPABASE_KEY environment variables to be set correctly. These are essential for authentication and accessing your Supabase project.
• Authentication: When invoking functions requiring authentication, ensure you provide a valid access token in the Authorization header.
