SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers build Python web backends without having to design authentication, database access, storage, migrations, and testing patterns from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • FastAPI Backend Structure: Organize routes, dependencies, configuration, services, and application startup for maintainable Python APIs.
  • Supabase Integration: Add Supabase authentication, storage, realtime features, and secure client configuration.
  • SQLAlchemy and SQLModel Persistence: Define typed models, manage asynchronous PostgreSQL sessions, query data, and create Alembic migrations.
  • Use Case: Build a content API where users authenticate through Supabase, create and manage posts in PostgreSQL, upload avatars to storage, and test the API with an isolated database.

Quick Start

Ask the supabase-python skill to scaffold a FastAPI application with Supabase authentication, SQLModel models, asynchronous PostgreSQL access, migrations, storage, and tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate Supabase authentication into a FastAPI backend?

To integrate Supabase authentication into a FastAPI backend, you use the supabase-py client alongside dependency injection to secure routes and manage user sessions. This setup handles user logins and protects API endpoints without building auth logic from scratch.

What is the best way to connect FastAPI to PostgreSQL using SQLModel and Supabase?

The best way to connect FastAPI to PostgreSQL with SQLModel and Supabase is by defining typed models and managing asynchronous database sessions via asyncpg. This pattern provides typed data access and integrates smoothly with Supabase backend services.

How do I set up Alembic migrations for a FastAPI and SQLAlchemy project?

You set up Alembic migrations for FastAPI and SQLAlchemy projects by defining typed models and configuring asynchronous PostgreSQL sessions. Alembic then generates and applies database schema migrations automatically based on your SQLModel or SQLAlchemy changes.

Can I use Supabase storage and realtime features in a Python API?

Yes, you can use Supabase storage and realtime features in a Python API by configuring the supabase-py client within your FastAPI application. This allows your backend to handle file uploads like avatars and push realtime updates directly to connected clients.

Does this FastAPI Supabase pattern support asynchronous testing?

Yes, this FastAPI Supabase pattern supports asynchronous testing by using an isolated PostgreSQL database environment. You can test CRUD routes, file storage, and authentication logic asynchronously without affecting your production data.
