Supbase Built-in Auth?

[Crisfole]

Out of curiosity, why doesn't the Supabase adapter build on the built-in auth?

I get this question every week or so, I'll make this the answer :)

The adapters provide Lucia core with a set of functions it can call to read and manipulate the database, like saving and deleting access tokens. These functions can be provided by almost any databases, which allow Lucia to be used with any database (provided an adapter exists). And that's important. If I were to limit my self to use Supabase Auth, I have to:

1. Make adapters have different methods/functions
2. Only provide adapters for Supabase Auth, or similar services

Both are things I want to avoid. It would also limit the features we can add in the future too.
