File Uploads

Handle file uploads with Supabase Storage.

Note: This is mock/placeholder content for demonstration purposes.

Enable users to upload and manage files using Supabase Storage.

Setup

Create Storage Bucket

-- Create a public bucket for avatars
INSERT INTO storage.buckets (id, name, public)
VALUES ('avatars', 'avatars', true);

-- Create a private bucket for documents
INSERT INTO storage.buckets (id, name, public)
VALUES ('documents', 'documents', false);

Set Storage Policies

-- Allow users to upload their own avatars
CREATE POLICY "Users can upload their own avatar"
ON storage.objects FOR INSERT
WITH CHECK (
  bucket_id = 'avatars' AND
  auth.uid()::text = (storage.foldername(name))[1]
);

-- Allow users to view their own avatars
CREATE POLICY "Users can view their own avatar"
ON storage.objects FOR SELECT
USING (
  bucket_id = 'avatars' AND
  auth.uid()::text = (storage.foldername(name))[1]
);

-- Allow users to delete their own avatars
CREATE POLICY "Users can delete their own avatar"
ON storage.objects FOR DELETE
USING (
  bucket_id = 'avatars' AND
  auth.uid()::text = (storage.foldername(name))[1]
);

Upload Component

Basic File Upload

'use client';

import { useState } from 'react';
import { useSupabase } from '@kit/supabase/hooks/use-supabase';
import { createUploadedFileRecordAction } from '../_lib/actions';

export function FileUpload() {
  const supabase = useSupabase();
  const [uploading, setUploading] = useState(false);
  const [file, setFile] = useState<File | null>(null);

  const handleUpload = async () => {
    if (!file) return;

    setUploading(true);

    const { data: auth } = await supabase.auth.getUser();

    if (!auth.user) {
      toast.error('You must be signed in to upload files');
      setUploading(false);
      return;
    }

    const path = `${auth.user.id}/${Date.now()}-${file.name}`;
    const { data, error } = await supabase.storage
      .from('avatars')
      .upload(path, file);

    if (error) {
      toast.error('File upload failed');
      setUploading(false);
      return;
    }

    const result = await createUploadedFileRecordAction({
      bucket: 'avatars',
      path: data.path,
      name: file.name,
      contentType: file.type,
      size: file.size,
    });

    if (result?.data?.success) {
      toast.success('File uploaded successfully');
    }

    setUploading(false);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <input
        type="file"
        onChange={(e) => setFile(e.target.files?.[0] || null)}
        accept="image/*"
      />
      <button
        onClick={handleUpload}
        disabled={!file || uploading}
      >
        {uploading ? 'Uploading...' : 'Upload'}
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

Server Action

'use server';

import { authActionClient } from '@kit/next/safe-action';
import { getSupabaseServerClient } from '@kit/supabase/server-client';
import { z } from 'zod';

export const createUploadedFileRecordAction = authActionClient
  .inputSchema(
    z.object({
      bucket: z.string().min(1),
      path: z.string().min(1),
      name: z.string().min(1),
      contentType: z.string().min(1),
      size: z.number().positive(),
    }),
  )
  .action(async ({ parsedInput: data, ctx: { user } }) => {
    const client = getSupabaseServerClient();

    const { error } = await client.from('uploaded_files').insert({
      user_id: user.id,
      bucket: data.bucket,
      path: data.path,
      name: data.name,
      content_type: data.contentType,
      size: data.size,
    });

    if (error) throw error;

    return {
      success: true,
      path: data.path,
    };
  });

Drag and Drop Upload

'use client';

import { useCallback } from 'react';
import { useDropzone } from 'react-dropzone';

export function DragDropUpload() {
  const onDrop = useCallback(async (acceptedFiles: File[]) => {
    for (const file of acceptedFiles) {
      await uploadFileToStorage(file);
    }
  }, []);

  const { getRootProps, getInputProps, isDragActive } = useDropzone({
    onDrop,
    accept: {
      'image/*': ['.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif'],
    },
    maxSize: 5 * 1024 * 1024, // 5MB
  });

  return (
    <div
      {...getRootProps()}
      className={cn(
        'border-2 border-dashed rounded-lg p-8 text-center cursor-pointer',
        isDragActive && 'border-primary bg-primary/10'
      )}
    >
      <input {...getInputProps()} />
      {isDragActive ? (
        <p>Drop files here...</p>
      ) : (
        <p>Drag and drop files here, or click to select</p>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

File Validation

Client-Side Validation

function validateFile(file: File) {
  const maxSize = 5 * 1024 * 1024; // 5MB
  const allowedTypes = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif'];

  if (file.size > maxSize) {
    throw new Error('File size must be less than 5MB');
  }

  if (!allowedTypes.includes(file.type)) {
    throw new Error('File type must be JPEG, PNG, or GIF');
  }

  return true;
}

Server-Side Validation

export const validateUploadedFileAction = authActionClient
  .inputSchema(
    z.object({
      name: z.string().min(1),
      contentType: z.string().min(1),
      size: z.number().positive(),
      width: z.number().optional(),
      height: z.number().optional(),
    }),
  )
  .action(async ({ parsedInput: file }) => {
    // Validate file size
    if (file.size > 5 * 1024 * 1024) {
      throw new Error('File too large');
    }

    // Validate file type
    const allowedTypes = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif'];
    if (!allowedTypes.includes(file.contentType)) {
      throw new Error('Invalid file type');
    }

    // Validate dimensions for images
    if (file.contentType.startsWith('image/')) {
      if ((file.width ?? 0) > 4000 || (file.height ?? 0) > 4000) {
        throw new Error('Image dimensions too large');
      }
    }

    return { success: true };
  });

Image Optimization

Resize on Upload

import sharp from 'sharp';

export const resizeAvatarAction = authActionClient
  .inputSchema(
    z.object({
      sourcePath: z.string().min(1),
    }),
  )
  .action(async ({ parsedInput: data, ctx: { user } }) => {
    const client = getSupabaseServerClient();

    const { data: file, error: downloadError } = await client.storage
      .from('avatars')
      .download(data.sourcePath);

    if (downloadError) throw downloadError;

    const buffer = Buffer.from(await file.arrayBuffer());

    // Resize image
    const resized = await sharp(buffer)
      .resize(200, 200, {
        fit: 'cover',
        position: 'center',
      })
      .jpeg({ quality: 90 })
      .toBuffer();

    const fileName = `${user.id}/avatar.jpg`;

    const { error } = await client.storage
      .from('avatars')
      .upload(fileName, resized, {
        contentType: 'image/jpeg',
        upsert: true,
      });

    if (error) throw error;

    return { success: true };
  });

Progress Tracking

'use client';

import { useState } from 'react';
import { useSupabase } from '@kit/supabase/hooks/use-supabase';

export function UploadWithProgress() {
  const client = useSupabase();
  const [progress, setProgress] = useState(0);

  const handleUpload = async (file: File) => {
    const { error } = await client.storage
      .from('documents')
      .upload(`uploads/${file.name}`, file, {
        onUploadProgress: (progressEvent) => {
          const percent = (progressEvent.loaded / progressEvent.total) * 100;
          setProgress(Math.round(percent));
        },
      });

    if (error) throw error;
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <input type="file" onChange={(e) => handleUpload(e.target.files![0])} />
      {progress > 0 && (
        <div className="w-full bg-gray-200 rounded-full h-2">
          <div
            className="bg-primary h-2 rounded-full transition-all"
            style={{ width: `${progress}%` }}
          />
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Downloading Files

Get Public URL

const { data } = client.storage
  .from('avatars')
  .getPublicUrl('user-id/avatar.jpg');

console.log(data.publicUrl);

Download Private File

const { data, error } = await client.storage
  .from('documents')
  .download('private-file.pdf');

if (data) {
  const url = URL.createObjectURL(data);
  const a = document.createElement('a');
  a.href = url;
  a.download = 'file.pdf';
  a.click();
}

Generate Signed URL

const { data, error } = await client.storage
  .from('documents')
  .createSignedUrl('private-file.pdf', 3600); // 1 hour

console.log(data.signedUrl);

Deleting Files

import { authActionClient } from '@kit/next/safe-action';
import { z } from 'zod';

export const deleteFileAction = authActionClient
  .inputSchema(
    z.object({
      path: z.string(),
    }),
  )
  .action(async ({ parsedInput: data }) => {
    const client = getSupabaseServerClient();

    const { error } = await client.storage
      .from('avatars')
      .remove([data.path]);

    if (error) throw error;

    return { success: true };
  });

Best Practices

  1. Validate on both sides - Client and server
  2. Limit file sizes - Prevent abuse
  3. Sanitize filenames - Remove special characters
  4. Use unique names - Prevent collisions
  5. Optimize images - Resize before upload
  6. Set storage policies - Control access
  7. Monitor usage - Track storage costs
  8. Clean up unused files - Regular maintenance
  9. Use CDN - For public files
  10. Implement virus scanning - For user uploads
