8:05 This part needs to be updated. As of sometime in October 2023, the auth schema is available, but the users table is not visible and only public tables are shown
I almost scoffed at the idea of using Supabase because for one I don't care much for SQL (got burned out on it a few years ago), for two I don't care for putting business logic in my database. BUT, since it appears that I can build apps without all the API layer boilerplate I am starting to come around. Plus having the AI available to help write sql makes it less painful.
Every time I try this I get a "Database error saving new user" 500 error response. I've rewatched many times now and I'm doing exactly what you are. Any ideas?
Thanks man how to depend on specific data add another profile table? ex: when the user creates an account, check if the employee will save in the employee table and otherwise will save the manager tabel?
It's no longer possible to create the trigger through the UI, but I figured out how to create the trigger in the SQL editor. create trigger "create_profile_for_user_trigger" after insert on auth.users for each row execute function create_profile_for_user();
Great video! Saved me a bunch of trial and error. Would like to point out that it seems that Orientation > Row is required if you want access to the "new" object in the function called by the trigger. Perhaps there is another object available in the function if Orientation > Statement is used?
@@ajaychandrasekaran9262 Are you looking to use the Orientation > Statement? We're using row for our project anyway, so it was not an issue for us. The supabase support has been very helpful. I'll bet if you create a help ticket they will have an engineer provide an answer.
As many have noted, Supabase no longer allows us to create triggers based on the auth schema. I found a video with the workaround: ua-cam.com/video/mcrqn77lUmM/v-deo.html
is it a good practice for a production application for Inventory management to use Triggers? Hope you can make a video to demonstrate inventory management using Triggers. Thanks!
This video could use an update that triggers cannot be created via supabase trigger interface but with an sql query instead. At least that was the case when I followed along today.
I really wish you finish this video with clicking and reading that value from newly created profile, but I guess it involves more frontend part to do so.
but with this FK in place (in profiles which relates to ID of auth.users), we cant delete a user in the AUTH section anymore because of FK constraint error on delete right?
@JonMeyers @Supabase I'd like to create a profile row only after the user confirms their email. Do I understand correctly that the UPDATE event will call the trigger function on any update, and there is no way to trigger the function on update of a specific column? Ideally, I'd like to trigger the function when `email_confirmed_at` is changing from NULL to a non-NULL value in `auth.users`. Is this possible to achieve this?
When we are using email authentication then we can send raw user meta data and fetch inside functions. But How can we get the username and profile image value from functions if we are authenticating with Google ?
I am stuck with a superbase trigger. I can't set trigger on auth.users. In Add a new Trigger > Conditions to fire trigger > Table there is only one 'profiles' table. What am i doing wrong?
Supabase wraps around PostgreSQL atm, and is really just a convenience wrapper trying to expose all the cool things that Postgres give you out of the box! Therefore, I think it is unlikely Supabase would move away from Postgres. Anything is possible though!
What if you want to create a trigger function on deletion of a row. How do I get a reference to the primary key from the deleted row, so that I can clean up rows from other tables based on that?
>so that I can clean up rows from other tables It sounds like you want "cascading deletes". When you set up a column in a table which references another table you can choose to use "cascade delete" which will delete any references for the trigger, you can access the ID using the "OLD" values inside the function - eg: OLD.id
@@Supabase 🤔...or that would have been awesome if it was true... Sorry, but I cant find cascading deletes anywhere. When I delete a user from auth users I just get an error referring to foreign keys. But when I edit the foreign keys-column in those tables, there is no such option 😟 Or maybe there's no UI for it yet? I fixed it by first removing the relationship in the UI and then ADD CONSTRAINT via an SQL query. Thanks anyway for pointing me in the right direction

dude if you knew how much the community racked their brains over this authoring feature...
note that this is 2 years ago. now you must create a trigger with SQL editor if you listen to auth

Thank you so much for this!!! I literally cried last night😂😂😂😂

You can still access the users table using the SQL editor. They only removed access direectly from the UI.

The table to fire the trigger (auth table) does not show up in my list.
same issue here. only the public schema tables are displayed!

Please make more videos like these on triggers and plpgsql! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Trigger from auth is not available yet, how to trigger when user created?
The auth schema is managed by Supabase and is read-only through the dashboard.
Edit: Use the SQL Editor
As many have noted, Supabase no longer allows us to create triggers based on the auth schema. I found a video with the workaround: ua-cam.com/video/mcrqn77lUmM/v-deo.html

Correct, you would need to delete the profile first. You could also remove the constraint and add one with cascading delete with raw SQL 👍
@JonMeyers @Supabase I'd like to create a profile row only after the user confirms their email. Do I understand correctly that the UPDATE event will call the trigger function on any update, and there is no way to trigger the function on update of a specific column?

How would the automatic creation of records in a monthly table be, so that every month records were automatically generated in a table?

Now only i am getting is can't create new user Data base error. after automating on user insert in auth.users trigger
7:45 damn i wish this was mentioned in the docs. Took me an hour to figure out why the function did not have permissions to run.
That was really good. Thank you. I would like to also see how to do it in SQL editor.

No, supabase is a database of its own.

It sounds like you want "cascading deletes". When you set up a column in a table which references another table you can choose to use "cascade delete" which will delete any references
for the trigger, you can access the ID using the "OLD" values inside the function - eg: OLD.id
