This documentation is for a legacy version of Next.js Supabase Lite. For the latest version, please visit the Next.js Supabase Turbo documentation

Uploading data to Storage

To upload data to Supabase Storage, we can use the Supabase JavaScript client.

Uploading a file

To upload a file, we can use the upload method.

For example, the code below is the code that uploads a user's profile image to the avatars bucket:

async function uploadUserProfilePhoto( client: SupabaseClient, photoFile: File, userId: string ) { const bytes = await photoFile.arrayBuffer(); const bucket = client.storage.from('avatars'); const extension = photoFile.name.split('.').pop(); const fileName = `${userId}.${extension}`; const result = await bucket.upload(fileName, bytes, { upsert: true, }); if (!result.error) { return bucket.getPublicUrl(fileName).data.publicUrl; } throw result.error; }

You can also combine the above with useSWRMutation from SWR when you use the code above from a React component:

import useSWRMutation from 'swr/mutation'; function useUpdateProfile() { const client = useSupabase(); const key = 'useUpdateProfile'; return useSWRMutation(key, async (_, { arg: data }: { arg: { file: File; userId: string; } }) => { return updateUserData(client, data); }); }

And then, you can use it like this:

const updateProfile = useUpdateProfile(); <Form onUpload={(file: File, userId: string) => { return updateProfile.trigger({ file, userId }) } />
