Subscribing to Table Changes

In the previous lesson, we learned about the idea of realtime data. Now, let's dive into how your app can actually listen for changes happening in your Supabase database!

This means your users can see updates instantly, without refreshing their screen. Think live chat, notifications, or dashboards.

Supabase provides a powerful Realtime client that makes listening for database changes super easy. It's built on PostgreSQL's replication features.

• It uses WebSockets for instant communication.
• You'll interact with it through the supabase.realtime object.
• It works by connecting to specific 'channels'.
