Login with Twitter

To enable Twitter Auth for your project, you need to set up a Twitter OAuth application and add the application credentials to your Supabase Dashboard.

Setting up Twitter logins for your application consists of 3 parts:

  • Click on the Settings icon at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  • Click on API in the list.
  • Under Config / URL you'll find your API URL, you can click Copy to copy it to the clipboard.
  • Now just add /auth/v1/callback to the end of that to get your full OAuth Redirect URI.

    • Enter a description for your project, click Next.
    • Enter a name for your app, click Complete.
    • Copy and save your API Key (this is your client_id).
    • Copy and save your API Secret Key (this is your client_secret).
  • At the bottom, under Next, setup your App click the link enable 3rd party authentication.
  • Under App Settings, click on the gear icon next to your app name to go to App Settings.

  • Click Settings from the list to go to the Authentication Settings page.
  • Enter the final (hosted) URL of your app under Site URL (this is important).
  • Under External OAuth Providers turn Twitter Enabled to ON.
  • Enter your API Key (client_id) and API Secret Key (client_secret) saved in the previous step.
  • Click Save.

Add login code to your client app​

The JavaScript client code is documented here: Supabase OAuth Client Code.

const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({
  provider: 'twitter',
})

Add this function which you can call from a button, link, or UI element.

async function signInWithTwitter() {
  const { user, session, error } = await supabase.auth.signIn({
    provider: 'twitter',
  })
}

To log out:

async function signout() {
  const { error } = await supabase.auth.signOut()
}
