⚠️ Node.js 18 Deprecation Notice

Node.js 18 reached end-of-life on April 30, 2025. As announced in our deprecation notice, support for Node.js 18 was dropped on October 31, 2025.

Usage

First of all, you need to install the library:

npm install @supabase/supabase-js

Then you're able to import the library and establish the connection with the database:

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

// Create a single supabase client for interacting with your database
const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key')

UMD

You can use plain <script>s to import supabase-js from CDNs, like:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@supabase/supabase-js@2"></script>

or even:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@supabase/supabase-js@2"></script>

Then you can use it from a global supabase variable:

<script>
  const { createClient } = supabase
  const _supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key')

  console.log('Supabase Instance: ', _supabase)
  // ...
</script>

ESM

You can use <script type="module"> to import supabase-js from CDNs, like:

<script type="module">
  import { createClient } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@supabase/supabase-js/+esm'
  const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key')

  console.log('Supabase Instance: ', supabase)
  // ...
</script>

Deno

You can use supabase-js in the Deno runtime via JSR:

import { createClient } from 'jsr:@supabase/supabase-js@2'

Custom fetch implementation

supabase-js uses the cross-fetch library to make HTTP requests, but an alternative fetch implementation can be provided as an option. This is most useful in environments where cross-fetch is not compatible, for instance Cloudflare Workers:

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

// Provide a custom `fetch` implementation as an option
const supabase = createClient('https://xyzcompany.supabase.co', 'public-anon-key', {
  global: {
    fetch: (...args) => fetch(...args),
  },
})

Support Policy

This section outlines the scope of support for various runtime environments in Supabase JavaScript client.

Node.js

We only support Node.js versions that are in Active LTS or Maintenance status as defined by the official Node.js release schedule. This means we support versions that are currently receiving long-term support and critical bug fixes.

When a Node.js version reaches end-of-life and is no longer in Active LTS or Maintenance status, Supabase will drop it in a minor release, and this won't be considered a breaking change.

Deno

We support Deno versions that are currently receiving active development and security updates. We follow the official Deno release schedule and only support versions from the stable and lts release channels.

When a Deno version reaches end-of-life and is no longer receiving security updates, Supabase will drop it in a minor release, and this won't be considered a breaking change.
