Getting Started

1. Install this package and it's peer dependencies

npm install --save @supabase/supabase-js @supabase/auth-ui-shared @supabase/auth-ui-react @tanstack/react-query supabase-comments

import "supabase-comments/style.css";

const SUPABASE_URL = "INSERT_SUPABASE_URL";
const SUPABASE_ANON_KEY = "INSERT_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY";
const supabase = createClient(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY);

4. Add the CommentsSection into your react app.

<CommentsSection
  topic="supabase-comments-demo-topic"
  supabaseClient={supabase}
/>

Adjusting the Theme

1. Go to the shadecn theme generator, generate a theme and copy the code.
2. Paste the css into a file called shadecn-theme.css
3. Add the import underneath the import supabase-comments/style.css.

import supabase-comments/style.css
import "./shadecn-theme.css"
