Bucket Issues 404 Bucket not found

BuildWithoutCode

1. Storage Bucket Setup

Create a proper storage bucket named 'avatars' in Supabase
Set the bucket to be public for read access
Configure proper RLS policies for the bucket to allow authenticated users to upload

2. Database Changes

Add avatar_url column to users table
Update database types to include the new column

3. Upload Flow Improvements

Fix the current temporary workaround that uses user metadata
Update the upload path to use proper user folders
Add better error handling for bucket not found scenarios
Add proper file type validation and size limits
Implement proper loading states during upload

4. UI/UX Enhancements

Add loading indicator during upload
Show upload progress
Better error messages for specific failure cases
Proper image preview before upload

supplementary code proposal for generating a bucket with Supabase and hooking it to the users ID / Avatar.

-- First, create the avatars storage bucket if it doesn't exist
INSERT INTO storage.buckets (id, name, public)
SELECT 'avatars', 'avatars', TRUE
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM storage.buckets WHERE id = 'avatars');

-- Add RLS policies for the avatars bucket
CREATE POLICY "Users can upload their own avatars"
ON storage.objects
FOR INSERT
TO authenticated
WITH CHECK (bucket_id = 'avatars' AND (storage.foldername(name))[1] = auth.uid()::text);

CREATE POLICY "Users can update their own avatars"
ON storage.objects
FOR UPDATE
TO authenticated
USING (bucket_id = 'avatars' AND (storage.foldername(name))[1] = auth.uid()::text);

CREATE POLICY "Users can delete their own avatars"
ON storage.objects
FOR DELETE
TO authenticated
USING (bucket_id = 'avatars' AND (storage.foldername(name))[1] = auth.uid()::text);

CREATE POLICY "Public read access for avatars"
ON storage.objects
FOR SELECT
TO public
USING (bucket_id = 'avatars');

-- Add avatar_url column to users table
ALTER TABLE public.users
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS avatar_url TEXT;
