refactor(postgrest)!: make the rest client and builders stateless - #1748
Merged
Conversation

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughPostgREST builders now use copied request configuration and shared URI helpers. Client headers are immutable. Supabase recreates the REST client when headers change. Migration guidance and tests document and verify the updated behavior. ChangesStateless PostgREST requests
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The migration guidance does not clearly explain that existing schemas and builders may retain old headers after client headers change, which could cause requests to use stale authentication or configuration. The PR is mergeable with explicit documentation follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@MIGRATION.md`:
- Line 1425: Update the migration entry mentioning PostgrestQueryBuilder and
PostgrestRpcBuilder so it states that callers choose a table operation or call
rpc(), then configure the returned executable builder; remove the inaccurate
claim that both builders belong to a table operation.
- Around line 1432-1434: Update the SupabaseClient migration documentation
around supabase.headers assignment to state that existing PostgrestClient
references retain captured headers; callers must reacquire supabase.rest and
create new builders after changing supabase.headers.
In `@packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_query_builder.dart`:
- Around line 34-42: Snapshot the caller-provided headers in both public builder
constructors: packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_query_builder.dart lines
34-42 and packages/postgrest/lib/src/postgrest_rpc_builder.dart lines 19-27.
Update the _RequestConfig initialization in each constructor to store an
immutable copy of headers, while preserving the existing empty-map fallback for
null headers.
In `@packages/postgrest/test/basic_test.dart`:
- Around line 103-112: Register the PostgrestClient instance’s dispose method
with addTearDown in the headers immutability test, ensuring the client-owned
YAJsonIsolate is cleaned up after the test.

Summary
Ports the stateless PostgREST refactor from supabase/supabase-swift#1240 to the Flutter SDK, in the idiomatic Dart shape. The builder chain here was already made up of immutable value types sharing one request config, and the per-request
accessTokencallback already landed in #1742, so this PR covers the remaining pieces:PostgrestQueryBuilderandPostgrestRpcBuilderno longer extend the executable builder, so a request without a table operation no longer compiles.await supabase.from('countries'), which used to compile and throw anArgumentErrorat runtime, is now a compile-time error, andwithConverter()/abortSignal()are only reachable afterselect/insert/upsert/update/delete/count.setHeader()andretry()stay available on the query phase, since they meaningfully configure whichever request follows. This is the Dart equivalent of the Swift phantom-typed phase graph, expressed through the class hierarchy instead.PostgrestClient.headersis now an unmodifiable map, making the client fully stateless after construction.SupabaseClient.restis no longer a mutable singleton: assigningSupabaseClient.headersreplaces the rest client instead of mutating its header map in place, andSupabaseClient.rpc()no longer permanently merges the client headers into the rest client on every call.SupabaseQuerySchemadrops its separateheadersparameter; the headers of the rest client it wraps are the single source.PostgrestQueryBuilderdrops its type argument, which only mattered while the builder was awaitable:insert/upsert/update/deletewithout a trailingselect()now resolve tovoideverywhere, instead ofvoidfrom a standalonePostgrestClientbutdynamicfromsupabase.from().PostgrestBuilder.appendSearchParameters()/overrideSearchParameters()are removed from the public API; they were internal URL helpers, now a library-privateUriextension.SupabaseClient.from()/rpc()/schema()are deduplicated through one default-schemaSupabaseQuerySchemaview.MIGRATION.mddocuments the breaking changes with before/after examples, and the earliersetAccessToken()section no longer recommends mutatingsupabase.rest.headers.The two removed URL helper symbols are pruned from sdk-compliance.yaml; the local symbol, drift and validation checks pass.
