How to Build Social Login (Google, Facebook, Apple) with Supabase

 

Step 1: Set Up Your Supabase Project

 

  • Go to Supabase and sign up for an account if you haven't already.
  • Create a new project by providing a name and selecting the region.
  • Once your project is up and running, take note of the Project URL and Anon Key from the API settings in the Supabase dashboard. You'll need these later.

 

Step 2: Configure Google Authentication

 

  • Go to the Google Developers Console and create a new project.
  • Navigate to the OAuth consent screen and configure it (make sure to add your Supabase URL to the authorized domains).
  • Go to Credentials, create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID, and get your Client ID and Client Secret.
  • Back in the Supabase dashboard, navigate to Authentication > Providers and enable Google login.
  • Input the Client ID and Client Secret from the previous step and save the settings.

 

Step 3: Configure Facebook Authentication

 

  • Go to the Facebook Developers site and create a new app.
  • Set up Facebook Login and make sure to include your Supabase URL in the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs.
  • Get your App ID and App Secret from the dashboard.
  • In the Supabase dashboard, navigate to Authentication > Providers and enable Facebook login.
  • Input the App ID and App Secret and save the settings.

 

Step 4: Configure Apple Authentication

 

  • Go to the Apple Developer Console and log in or create an account.
  • Under Identifiers, create a new Identifier and select App IDs. Enable Sign In with Apple.
  • Create a new Service ID and enable Sign In with Apple. Configure the Redirect URI with your Supabase URL.
  • Create a private key in the Apple Developer Console and download the key file (.p8).
  • Get the Key ID, Team ID, and Client ID.
  • Go to the Supabase dashboard, navigate to Authentication > Providers and enable Apple login.
  • Input the Key ID, Team ID, Client ID, and upload the .p8 file. Save the settings.

 

Step 5: Implement Social Login in Your Frontend

 

  • Install Supabase client SDK in your frontend application using npm:
    npm install @supabase/supabase-js
  • Initialize the Supabase client with your Project URL and Anon Key:
    import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
    const supabase = createClient('your-project-url', 'your-anon-key');
  • Create login buttons and attach event listeners that call the specific Supabase method for social login:




    document.getElementById('google-login').onclick = async () => {
    const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({ provider: 'google' });
    if (error) console.error('Google login error:', error);
    };

    document.getElementById('facebook-login').onclick = async () => {
    const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({ provider: 'facebook' });
    if (error) console.error('Facebook login error:', error);
    };

    document.getElementById('apple-login').onclick = async () => {
    const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signInWithOAuth({ provider: 'apple' });
    if (error) console.error('Apple login error:', error);
    };
  • Handle user session and authentication states accordingly in your frontend application.

 

Step 6: Test Your Implementation

 

  • Deploy your frontend application to your preferred hosting provider.
  • Ensure your OAuth credentials are correctly set in the production environment.
  • Test the social login buttons to make sure they correctly authenticate users.

 

Conclusion

 

  • By following these steps, you should now have a fully functional social login system integrated into your application using Supabase.
  • Always make sure to keep your OAuth credentials secure and never expose them in your frontend code.
