Hey guys, welcome to yet another article of a hands-on guide for creating a fullstack application,  in today's dynamic world of web development, ensuring the security and dependability of authentication systems stands as an absolute necessity. As a developer, I recognize the paramount importance of building robust authentication mechanisms. With the advent of modern frontend frameworks like Solid.js and the emergence of feature-rich backend services like Supabase, I find myself equipped with powerful tools to integrate authentication into my applications.

I have to confess, this was the first time to try Supabase, and solid.js for that matter, but I was really surprised from the perfection both technologies brought together to authenticate the login mechanism.
Here's the video if you prefer to watch it:

But for now, let me give you a practical demonstration, showcasing how I integrate Solid.js and Supabase to construct a secure web application. I'm gonna show you how these advanced technologies synergize to establish a resilient infrastructure, safeguarding user data and facilitating access control.

# Understanding the Project
The repository we'll be working with contains a Solid.js application that showcases how to integrate authentication using Supabase. Before diving into the implementation details, let's understand the prerequisites and the project structure.

# Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have the following:

- Node.js and npm: Ensure Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) are installed on your system.
- Supabase Account: Sign up for a Supabase account to leverage its authentication and database services.

Getting Started
1-Clone the Repository: Begin by cloning the repository to your local machine.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/BekBrace/solidJs_supabase_auth.git
```
2- Navigate to the Project Directory: Move into the project directory.
```bash
cd solidjs_supabase_auth
```
3- Install Dependencies: Install project dependencies using npm.
```bash
npm install
```
4- Set Up Supabase: Create a Supabase project and configure your credentials in a .env.local file.
5- Start the Development Server: Launch the Solid.js development server.
```bash
npm run dev
```
# Application Structure
The project structure is organized into components responsible for various authentication-related tasks:

Register Component: Handles user registration.
Login Component: Manages user authentication.
Dashboard Component: Renders the authenticated user's dashboard.

# Conclusion
At the end of the day, this is a great example to show combining the simplicity and reactivity of Solid.js with the powerful authentication capabilities of Supabase, developers can create secure and feature-rich web applications with ease. This project serves as a practical guide to integrating authentication into your Solid.js applications, empowering you to build robust and user-friendly experiences for your users.

Thank you for reading, until the next time :-)
