Building great UI elements are hard, and after working in the front end space for so long, I've come to appreciate component libraries that let you get up and running at lightning speed.

So of course, I have come to realise and appreciate how steadfast and solid the Material UI library is. Granted, not everyone likes the design of Material UI out of the box, but the ability to not have to integrate and merge stylesheets from disparate tools is quite freeing.

In any case, lets get back to the meat of today's discussion, adding Material UI to a browser extension.

Supabase Auth features are like a God's gift from heaven for having a record-speed authentication system ready to go for your side projects whenever you need.

However, since @supabase/supabase-js up to v2 (at time of writing) is meant for JAMstack developers, it does take some additional configuration to use it for the Node.js environment.

You will need to some additional configuration:

// ANON_KEY and ANON_URL are string constants from your project
createClient(ANON_URL, ANON_KEY, {
    auth: { persistSession: false, autoRefreshToken: false },
})

This will disable attempts by the client to store and refresh session, as there is no localStorage in server/scripting environments.

Your API calls will now work flawlessly 🔥.

Shoutout to Kang Ming and Alaister for this, my awesome colleagues at Supabase, whose deep knowledge of the client during a discussion in Bali Nov 2022 led to the above snippet.
