>You can use a hammer and a screwdriver at the same time
How do you balance the nail and screw? I'm serious, I'm trying to picture this, hammer in one hand, screwdriver in the other, and the problem I see here is the nail and screw need to be set first, which implies I can't completely use them both at the same time.
Perhaps my brain is too literal here, but I can't figure how to do this without starting with one or the other first
I'm going to answer this using Firebase, which Supabase is supposed to be a copy of.
There are 2 parts to using Fireabse, the client SDK and the admin SDK.
The client SDK is what's loaded in the front end and used for 95% of use cases like what u/whstl mentions.
The adminSDK can't be used in the browser. It's server only and is what you can use inside a custom REST API. In your use case, the email verification loop has to happen on a backend somewhere. That backend could be a simple AWS lambda that only spins up when it gets such a verification request.
You're now using a hammer for the front end and a screw driver for the finer details.
Some projects require nails, other require screws, some might require both.
Instead of hammering screws (or in this case reinventing a screwdriver), just use an existing screwdriver. That’s what I mean: don’t reinvent the solved problem of CRUD endpoints when applicable to the endpoint. Nothing says you can’t use two techs per project.
