Express/Hono patterns with Supabase Auth and Drizzle ORM.

Sources: Supabase JS Client | Drizzle ORM


Core Principle

Drizzle for queries, Supabase for auth/storage, middleware for validation.

Use Drizzle ORM for type-safe database access. Use Supabase client for auth verification, storage, and realtime. Express or Hono for the API layer.

Configuration

src/lib/config.ts

import { z } from 'zod';
import dotenv from 'dotenv';

dotenv.config();

const envSchema = z.object({
  PORT: z.string().default('3000'),
  NODE_ENV: z.enum(['development', 'production', 'test']).default('development'),

Database Setup

drizzle.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'drizzle-kit';
import { config } from './src/lib/config';

export default defineConfig({

  out: './supabase/migrations',
  dialect: 'postgresql',

Main Application

src/index.ts

import express from 'express';
import cors from 'cors';
import helmet from 'helmet';
import routes from './routes';
import { errorHandler } from './middleware/error';
import { config } from './lib/config';

const app = express();

app.use(express.json());

// Health check
app.get('/health', (req, res) => {

});

// API routes

// Error handler (must be last)
app.use(errorHandler);

app.listen(config.PORT, () => {

export default app;

Query Functions

src/db/queries/posts.ts

import { db } from '../index';
import { posts, profiles } from '../schema';
import { eq, desc, and } from 'drizzle-orm';

export async function getPublishedPosts(limit = 10) {
  return db
    .select({

  content?: string;

  published?: boolean;

Storage

Upload Endpoint

import multer from 'multer';
import { supabase } from '../lib/supabase';

const upload = multer({ storage: multer.memoryStorage() });

router.post(
  '/avatar',
  requireAuth,
  upload.single('file'),
  async (req, res, next) => {
    try {
      if (!req.file) {

      }

      const fileExt = req.file.originalname.split('.').pop();
      const filePath = `${req.user!.id}/avatar.${fileExt}`;

      const { error } = await supabase.storage
        .from('avatars')
        .upload(filePath, req.file.buffer, {
          contentType: req.file.mimetype,
          upsert: true,
        });

      if (error) {
        throw new AppError(500, 'Upload failed');
      }

      const { data } = supabase.storage
        .from('avatars')
        .getPublicUrl(filePath);

      return res.json({ url: data.publicUrl });
    } catch (error) {
      next(error);
    }
  }
);

Hono Alternative

For edge deployments or lighter weight:

src/index.ts (Hono)

import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { cors } from 'hono/cors';
import { jwt } from 'hono/jwt';
import { db } from './db';
import { posts } from './db/schema';
import { eq, desc } from 'drizzle-orm';
import { config } from './lib/config';

const app = new Hono();

app.use('/*', cors());

// Public routes
app.get('/posts', async (c) => {
  const result = await db
    .select()
    .from(posts)
    .where(eq(posts.published, true))
    .orderBy(desc(posts.createdAt));

  return c.json(result);
});

// Protected routes
app.use('/api/*', async (c, next) => {
  const auth = c.req.header('Authorization');
  if (!auth?.startsWith('Bearer ')) {
    return c.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, 401);
  }
  // Verify with Supabase...
  await next();
});

app.post('/api/posts', async (c) => {
  const body = await c.req.json();
  const [post] = await db.insert(posts).values(body).returning();
  return c.json(post, 201);
});

export default app;

Testing

tests/setup.ts

import { beforeAll, afterAll, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
import { db } from '../src/db';
import { posts, profiles } from '../src/db/schema';

beforeAll(async () => {
  // Setup test database
});

beforeEach(async () => {
  // Clean tables
  await db.delete(posts);
  await db.delete(profiles);
});

afterAll(async () => {
  // Cleanup
});

tests/posts.test.ts

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import request from 'supertest';
import app from '../src/index';

describe('Posts API', () => {
  it('should list published posts', async () => {
    const res = await request(app)
      .get('/api/posts')
      .expect(200);

    expect(Array.isArray(res.body)).toBe(true);
  });

  it('should require auth to create post', async () => {
    await request(app)
      .post('/api/posts')
      .send({ title: 'Test' })
      .expect(401);
  });
});

Anti-Patterns

  • Using Supabase client for DB queries - Use Drizzle
  • Sync JWT validation - Keep it async
  • No input validation - Use Zod middleware
  • Missing error handling - Use centralized error handler
  • Hardcoded secrets - Use environment variables
  • No request logging - Add morgan or pino
  • Blocking the event loop - Use async throughout
  • Service key in responses - Never expose
