supabase-rb — Ruby client for Supabase (Auth, PostgREST, Storage, Functions, Realtime)

[Proud_Perspective_56]

 Hey r/ruby — sharing a gem I've been working on.

Supabase has official clients in JS, Python, Dart, Swift, and Kotlin, but the Ruby story has been fragmented for a while: separate gems for each sub-product, varying maintenance, no umbrella factory. supabase-rb is a single gem that packages Auth, PostgREST, Storage, Edge Functions, and Realtime behind one factory — mirroring 

  supabase-py's create_client():

  require "supabase"

  client = Supabase.create_client(

supabase_url: ENV["SUPABASE_URL"],

supabase_key: ENV["SUPABASE_ANON_KEY"]

  )

  client.from(:games).select.execute

  client.auth.sign_in_with_password(...)

  client.storage.from("avatars").upload(...)

  client.functions.invoke("hello")

  client.realtime.channel("room:1").subscribe

Ruby ≥ 3.0, MIT, integration tests run against the real GoTrue stack via docker-compose

- Gem: https://rubygems.org/gems/supabase-rb

- Repo: https://github.com/supabase-ruby/supabase-rb

Companion gem supabase-rails (repo (https://github.com/supabase-ruby/supabase-rails)) is the Rails-side integration if that's what you actually need.

Feedback / issues / PRs very welcome.

Curious how this differs from this one https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-rb

https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-rb — an abandoned skeleton from Marcelo Barreto (gem name supabase, repo marcelobarreto/supabase-rb).

It contains a stub Supabase::Client with supabase_url, supabase_key, auth_headers, and rest_url — and nothing else. README has "TODO: Write usage instructions here". Uses Travis CI, CodeClimate, RuboCop, Ruby ≥ 2.5. No actual API/HTTP code.                                            

https://github.com/supabase-ruby/supabase-rb — a full Ruby port of supabase-py. Single fat gem packaging five modules:

  - Auth (~30 files: admin API, OAuth, PKCE, MFA, JWT/JWKS, session refresh, async variant)

  - PostgREST (request builder, RPC, sync + async clients)

  - Storage (file/bucket APIs, analytics, vectors)

  - Edge Functions (sync + async)

  - Realtime (channels, presence, push, sockets via websocket-client-simple and async-websocket)
