supabase-seed

You can seed a Supabase database with sample products and styles by running idempotent TypeScript scripts that utilize development-only HTTP endpoints. These scripts safely populate product catalogs and design styles using onConflictDoNothing and onConflictDoUpdate strategies to prevent duplicate data.

Your Supabase database shows empty product listings because the development environment lacks initial data population. Running a database seeding process populates the missing product catalogs and associated style images, allowing your application frontend to retrieve and display the required sample data immediately.

The best way to add new data categories like contractors to a Supabase database is to extend idempotent seeding scripts. This approach safely inserts new data categories into your existing development database structure using TypeScript scripts while preserving your current product catalog and style records.

Yes, you can use idempotent scripts to update existing Supabase seed data without duplicating rows. The scripts implement onConflictDoUpdate strategies to modify existing records and onConflictDoNothing to skip duplicates, ensuring your database seeding process remains safe and predictable across multiple executions.

Yes, Supabase database seeding works with development-only HTTP endpoints to populate your database. These endpoints trigger TypeScript scripts that insert product catalogs and design style images, providing a quick way to set up your development environment with necessary sample data.
