Feedback about supabase-dart

Hi @bernaferrari !

Thank you for your feedback! I will update the README.md with your suggestions.

One thing, the reason why data is dynamic is because it could also be a Map in a case like this:

final res = await supabase
    .from('videos')
    .select()
    .eq('id', videoId)
    .single()
    .execute();

final data = res.data; // This is a Map

You could write somewhere this example, like... Ok, so it can either be a Map or List (miss TypeScript so much). I got confused like... dynamic can be anything, will it be an integer someday? Now I know it won't.

My main issue with supabase is that I don't know how to go from one place to the other in the documentation. Some things are there, but everything is disconnected, I need to Google a lot. Thanks.

Hey @bernaferrari, thanks for the quick reply.

Maybe this is something we can mention in the comments within the code.

Are you referring to the official documentation, or dart specific documentation here? Generally, the Dart library should be very similar to the JavaScript library, but I'm curious to hear what part you were having trouble finding solutions.

[bernaferrari]

Dart only. I'm trying to do the basics on Dart and it is been hard (not impossible, just hard).
I didn't see the JS :(

Thanks for the clarification!

Maybe I can include a sentence somewhere within the readme to direct developers arriving here to the JavaScript references. Would you say that would solve the current problem?

[bernaferrari]

Saying it came from JS wouldn't help. I think if you can take a screenshot of a method from JS and Dart and show why it is better in JS but same in Dart could be veeery helpful. You would make me visit the JS page then.

Having some kind of screenshot might be great for amazing developer experience. Will consider it for future improvements!

For now, I will include a link to the official Supabase documentation kind of like how supabase-js does it. This way, developers should know where to go to look at documentations!
