Step-by-Step Setup
Connect Supabase from Lovable
In your Lovable project, click the Supabase button in the top toolbar. Sign in with your Supabase account and select or create a project.
💡 Lovable creates the tables it needs automatically. You don't need to touch SQL.
Ask Lovable to add data persistence
Once connected, describe what you want to save.
// Lovable prompt: "Add user authentication with email/password. After login, save the user's profile (name, avatar, bio) to the database. Show the profile on a /profile page that only logged-in users can see."
💡 Lovable automatically generates the correct Supabase queries and RLS policies.
Verify Row Level Security
Go to your Supabase project → Table Editor → your table → RLS. Make sure it's enabled. Lovable should do this automatically but always verify.
💡 Without RLS, any user can read any other user's data. Always check this before going live.
Copy-Paste Prompts for Cursor
Paste these directly into Cursor's chat or Composer for instant results.

Things That Go Wrong (and How to Fix Them)
Check that auth is properly configured and the user session is being passed to Supabase queries.
In Supabase, go to Authentication → Policies and check your RLS rules. Use the Supabase query editor to test queries with specific user contexts.
