TypeScript Types

Generated TypeScript types are available at:

packages/shared/lib/src/types/database.types.ts

Usage Examples

Creating an Account

INSERT INTO money_accounts (user_id, name, type, currency, balance)
VALUES (auth.uid(), 'Main Checking', 'checking', 'USD', 1000.00);

Recording a Transaction

INSERT INTO money_transactions (
  user_id, account_id, type, amount, 
  category_id, description, date
)
VALUES (
  auth.uid(), 
  'account-uuid', 
  'expense', 
  50.00,
  'category-uuid', 
  'Grocery shopping', 
  CURRENT_DATE
);

Creating a Budget

INSERT INTO money_budgets (
  user_id, name, amount, period, 
  category_ids, start_date
)
VALUES (
  auth.uid(), 
  'Monthly Food Budget', 
  500.00, 
  'monthly',
  ARRAY['food-category-uuid'],
  DATE_TRUNC('month', CURRENT_DATE)
);

Getting Budget Status

SELECT * FROM get_budget_status('budget-uuid');

Calculating Category Spending

SELECT calculate_category_spending(
  'category-uuid',
  CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '30 days',
  CURRENT_DATE
);

Rollback Scripts

Rollback scripts are available in supabase/rollback/ for safe migration reversal:

• Each migration has a corresponding rollback script
• Execute in reverse order (006 → 001)
• Preserves data where possible

Local Development

Starting Supabase

supabase start

Accessing Services

• API: http://localhost:54321
• Studio: http://localhost:54323
• Database: localhost:54322

Running Tests

# Verify database structure
docker exec -i supabase_db_remind_tools psql -U postgres -d postgres < test/supabase/money_functions_test.sql

# Run Flutter integration tests
flutter test test/integration/money_database_test.dart

Production Deployment

Prerequisites

1. Supabase project created
2. Database access configured
3. Environment variables set

Deployment Steps

# Link to Supabase project
supabase link --project-ref <project-id>

# Push migrations to production
supabase db push

# Verify deployment
supabase db diff

Security Considerations

1. RLS Policies: Always enabled in production
2. API Keys: Use service role key only server-side
3. Sensitive Data: Consider encryption for account numbers
4. Audit Trail: Regularly review for suspicious activity
5. Backups: Configure automated backups

Performance Optimization

Materialized View Refresh

Set up periodic refresh for materialized views:

-- Manual refresh
SELECT refresh_money_materialized_views();

-- Automated refresh (requires pg_cron)
SELECT cron.schedule(
  'refresh-money-views', 
  '0 */2 * * *', 
  'SELECT public.refresh_money_materialized_views()'
);

Index Maintenance

Monitor and maintain indexes:

-- Check index usage
SELECT schemaname, tablename, indexname, idx_scan
FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
WHERE schemaname = 'public' AND tablename LIKE 'money_%'
ORDER BY idx_scan;
