Connect Flutterflow Application with Local Supabase

Integrating FlutterFlow with a local Supabase setup allows developers to leverage a low-code platform with a powerful backend. This setup enables offline development, database management, and API integration before deploying to production.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker – To run Supabase locally in containers.

• Supabase CLI – For database management and project deployment.

• FlutterFlow – A no-code UI development platform.

Setup Guide

1. Install Docker

• Download and install Docker Desktop from the official website.

• Ensure WSL 2 is enabled for optimal performance.

• Verify installation using:

  docker --version

2. Install Supabase CLI

• Install using Node.js:

  npm install supabase --save-dev

• Initialize a new Supabase project:

  supabase init supabase start

• If issues arise, try:

  npx supabase start --ignore-health-check

3. Set Up FlutterFlow with Supabase

• Create a FlutterFlow project and enable Supabase integration.

• Use the API URL and Anon Key from your local Supabase setup.

• To link an existing Supabase project, run:

  npx supabase login npx supabase link

4. Database Management with Supabase CLI

• View project tables:

  npx supabase db diff -f initial_structure --linked

• Dump existing data:

  npx supabase db dump --data-only -f supabase/seed.sql --linked

• Reset the database:

  npx supabase db reset

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can efficiently develop, test, and manage your FlutterFlow app with a local Supabase setup before moving to production.
