## ⚠️ Spelling Note
**Supabase uses `organizations` (US spelling)**
**TypeScript types use `organisations` (UK spelling)**
When querying, use the Supabase spelling. The types may need updating.
## Foreign Key Relationships
### Stories Table (Central Hub)
```typescript

## Supabase Client Usage
### Client Types
```typescript
// Browser client (uses cookies, respects RLS)
import { createSupabaseBrowserClient } from '@/lib/supabase/client'
const supabase = createSupabaseBrowserClient()
// Server SSR client (for API routes, server components)
import { createSupabaseServerClient } from '@/lib/supabase/client-ssr'
const supabase = createSupabaseServerClient()
// Service role client (bypasses RLS - admin only!)
import { createSupabaseServiceClient } from '@/lib/supabase/service-role-client'
const supabase = createSupabaseServiceClient()
```
### When to Use Each Client
| Client | Use Case | RLS | Auth |
|--------|----------|-----|------|
| Browser | React components | Yes | User session |
| Server SSR | API routes, server components | Yes | User session |
| Service Role | Admin operations, background jobs | No | Service key |
## Common Query Patterns
### Get Stories with Storyteller
```typescript
const { data } = await supabase
.from('stories')
.select(`
*,
storyteller:profiles!stories_storyteller_id_fkey(
id, display_name, profile_image_url
)
`)
.eq('status', 'published')
.eq('tenant_id', tenantId)
```
### Get Transcripts with Themes
```typescript
const { data } = await supabase
.from('transcripts')
.select('id, title, themes, key_quotes, ai_summary')
.not('themes', 'is', null)
.order('created_at', { ascending: false })
```
### Get Organization with Members
```typescript
const { data } = await supabase
.from('organisations')
.select(`
*,
members:organization_members(
profile:profiles(id, display_name, profile_image_url),
role
)
`)
.eq('id', orgId)
.single()
```
### Get Story with All Relationships
```typescript
const { data } = await supabase
.from('stories')
.select(`
*,
storyteller:profiles!stories_storyteller_id_fkey(*),
project:projects(*),
organization:organisations(*),
distributions:story_distributions(*),
featured_media:media_assets(*)
`)
.eq('id', storyId)
.single()
```
### Theme-Based Story Search (Array Overlap)
```typescript
// Stories with ANY matching theme
const { data } = await supabase
.from('stories')
.select('*')
.overlaps('ai_themes', ['identity', 'heritage'])
// Stories with ALL themes
const { data } = await supabase
.from('stories')
.select('*')
.contains('ai_themes', ['identity', 'heritage'])
```
### Count by Status
```typescript
const { count } = await supabase
.from('stories')
.select('*', { count: 'exact', head: true })
.eq('status', 'published')
.eq('tenant_id', tenantId)
```
### Story Access Tokens (Share Control)
#### Validate Token and Get Story
```typescript
// Use database function for validation + view count increment
const { data: validation } = await supabase.rpc('validate_and_increment_token', {
p_token: 'abc123xyz'
})
if (validation[0]?.is_valid) {
const { data: story } = await supabase
.from('stories')
.select('*, storyteller:profiles(*)')
.eq('id', validation[0].story_id)
.single()
}
```
#### Get Active Share Links for Story
```typescript
const { data: tokens } = await supabase
.from('story_access_tokens')
.select('*')
.eq('story_id', storyId)
.eq('revoked', false)
.gt('expires_at', new Date().toISOString())
.order('created_at', { ascending: false })
```
#### Create Share Link
```typescript
import { nanoid } from 'nanoid'
const token = nanoid(21)
const expiresAt = new Date(Date.now() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) // 7 days
const { data } = await supabase
.from('story_access_tokens')
.insert({
story_id: storyId,
token,
expires_at: expiresAt.toISOString(),
purpose: 'social-media',
created_by: userId,
tenant_id: tenantId
})
.select()
.single()
const shareUrl = `https://empathy-ledger.org/s/${token}`
```
#### Revoke Share Link
```typescript
const { error } = await supabase
.from('story_access_tokens')
.update({ revoked: true })
.eq('id', tokenId)
.eq('story_id', storyId) // Ensure user owns the story
```
#### Get Share Analytics
```typescript
// View counts, most shared stories
const { data: analytics } = await supabase
.from('story_access_tokens')
.select('story_id, view_count, purpose, shared_to')
.eq('story_id', storyId)
.order('view_count', { ascending: false })
```
## Multi-Tenant Query Pattern
**IMPORTANT**: Always filter by tenant_id for data isolation.
```typescript
// Standard pattern for all queries
async function getStories(userId: string) {
const supabase = createSupabaseServerClient()
// 1. Get user's tenant
const { data: profile } = await supabase
.from('profiles')
.select('tenant_id')
.eq('id', userId)
.single()
// 2. Query with tenant filter
const { data } = await supabase
.from('stories')
.select('*')
.eq('tenant_id', profile.tenant_id) // Always include!
.eq('status', 'published')
return data
}
```
## Database Functions
Available RPC functions:
```typescript
// Calculate tenant analytics
const { data } = await supabase.rpc('calculate_tenant_analytics', {
tenant_uuid: tenantId
})
// Get organization stats
const { data } = await supabase.rpc('get_organization_stats', {
org_id: orgId
})
// Search quotes with full-text
const { data } = await supabase.rpc('search_quotes', {
query: 'wisdom ancestors'
})
// Search media
const { data } = await supabase.rpc('search_media', {
query: 'interview video'
})
```
