Community

The community preset is for an app in the style of Discourse or Circle. Members ask questions and start discussions on forum boards, vote on the posts they find useful, reply in threads and talk in channels. Moderators work through reported content and ban members who break the rules.

ConfigCopy Anchor Link

Hold new posts and edits for review with the posts block's moderation option; posts show at once by default, so the preset leaves it to your config:

import { defineConfig } from "better-supabase/config";

export default defineConfig({
  preset: "community",
  blocks: { posts: { options: { moderation: "pre" } } },
});

npx better-supabase init --preset community starts a new project from it, and npx better-supabase apply --preset community adds it to one you have (CLI).

The preset is saas plus these blocks, and whatever they require:

How the blocks connectCopy Anchor Link

A forum is a posts board of kind forum. posts.vote(postId, value) stores the vote as a reaction, and list({ sort: "top" }) orders a board by it. Replies are comments on the subject post, so they are messages on the messaging core, with mentions and reactions of their own (posts).

Every post, reply and channel message is moderated through the same queue. A report hides the content once it reaches the moderation block's autoHideThreshold, a moderator's decision hides, removes or restores it, and a banned member can't post, reply or report until the ban ends (moderation).

A scoring model over the post subject type can weigh a post's vote score (a votes metric), and its bands name the hot posts that scores.top lists for a front page. Compute it from an outbox sink on the post events (scores).
