Creating modern web applications has never been easier, especially for solo developers. With the power of Spring Boot combined with Supabase.io, you can build slick, fast, full-stack web applications with minimal fuss. In this guide, we will walk you through the features this project offers, how to get started, and some troubleshooting tips.

Features Overview

• Utilizes Supabase.io for RDBMS, authentication, and storage.
• Integrates seamlessly with Spring Security for authentication.
• Supports a wide range of RDBMS features via IntelliJ.
• Visual HTML editing compatibility with Pinegrow.
• Bootstrap as the default CSS framework with easy theme customization.
• Dynamic partial page updates with HTMX and Thymeleaf Fragments.
• Stateless architecture using Supabase JWT.

Getting Started

To kick things off, you’ll need:

• Java 16+
• Maven
• A new Supabase.io project (free starter version recommended)

Configuration

Configure your environment by setting the following values:

SUPABASE_DATABASE_URL      jdbc:postgresql:db.PROJECT.supabase.co:postgres
SUPABASE_DATABASE_USER      postgres
SUPABASE_DATABASE_PASSWORD  [Your Supabase Password]
SUPABASE_URL                https://PROJECT.supabase.co
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY           [Your JWT with the role of anon]
SUPABASE_JWT_SIGNER         [Your TOP SECRET key]

Make sure not to share your JWT signer, as it acts like a super password!

Understanding The Code with an Analogy

Think of your Spring Boot application as a restaurant:

• The Kitchen: This is where your Java code is prepared (backend). It’s where all the magic happens, just like chefs turning raw ingredients into delicious meals.
• The Dining Area: This is your Thymeleaf templates (frontend). Just like a beautifully arranged dining area, your templates need to be appealing and easy to navigate.
• Supabase: Acts like the supplier of raw ingredients. Without a reliable supply, the kitchen won’t function well. Similarly, Supabase provides all the required data and authentication layers.
• Bootstrap: This is the decor that enhances the dining area, making it more inviting for customers. You can switch out the decor (themes) easily to keep the restaurant fresh.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues during development, consider the following:

• Check the console logs for any error messages regarding database connectivity or authentication.
• Ensure that your environment variables are set correctly.
• For any configuration problems, revisit the configuration guide to ensure everything is in place.
• Consult project documentation and utilize platforms like Stack Overflow for community support.
• If issues persist, feel free to check out the discussion board or file an issue on GitHub.
