Observing Supabase Auth State Changes

We need to subscribe to the auth state of Supabase at all times, but each framework has their own approach to this. Here is a compilation. We must get the current state, then subscribe to onAuthStateChange.
Note: all my tutorials use the JS SDK V2.
All of the code follows the same pattern:
- Get and save the current user state
- Subscribe to any changes, save user state on change
Angular - Observable
This assumes you have this.supabase variable.
authState(): Observable<User | null> {
return new Observable((subscriber: Subscriber<User | null>) => {
this.supabase.auth.getSession().then(session =>
subscriber.next(session.data.session?.user)
);
const auth = this.supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange(async ({ }, session) => {
subscriber.next(session?.user);
});
return auth.data.subscription.unsubscribe;
});
}React - Hooks
This assumes you have imported your supabase variable as well as useEffect and useState.
export const useAuthState = (): User | null => {
const [user, setUser] = useState<User | null>(null);
supabase.auth.getSession().then(session =>
setUser(session.data.session?.user);
);
useEffect(() => {
const auth = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange(async ({ }, session) => {
setUser(session?.user);
});
return auth.data.subscription.unsubscribe;
}, []);
return user;
};Svelte - Stores
This assumes you have imported your supabase variable as well as readable.
export const authState = readable(null, (set: Subscriber<User | null>) => {
supabase.auth.getSession().then(session =>
set(session.data.session?.user);
);
const auth = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange(async ({ }, session) => {
set(session?.user);
});
return auth.data.subscription.unsubscribe;
};Now if you want to setup this up to get the session information instead of directly the user information, you could easily change the code.
