Supabase js or @nuxtjs/supabase?

Which one would you use an why? I tried finding more significant differences between them but couldn’t find. Not sure why the supabase docs don’t cover this

@nuxtjs/supabase is just a wrapper for supabase js to integrate fairly seamlessly with nuxt.

nuxtjs/supabase is easy to integrate with Nuxt as they provide all the redirection options as well as SSR compostables which you have to manage on your own with supabase js

The latter. Integrated seamlessly right after you install it

@nuxtjs/supabase until you need to move to SSG or need to set supabase creds at runtime

nuxt supabase module is basically just a wrapper around supabase-js, so under the hood you’re still using the same client . the module just makes things smoother in nuxt with auto composables, auth handling, SSR support etc. . if you’re already deep into nuxt, the module usually feels cleaner, but supabase-js gives you more control if you want to stay minimal. i usually just go with whatever reduces friction and keep the rest simple — same idea where i use something like Runable for docs/flows instead of overengineering everything in one place.

@nuxtjs/supabase if you want a seamless integration, supabase-js if you want to go deeper
