Step-by-Step Guide: Creating a Related Posts Section on a Dynamic Page in Webstudio with Supabase

By following these steps, you’ll be able to set up a related posts section on a dynamic page using Supabase as a backend and Webstudio as your front-end tool. This setup is scalable and allows you to link posts dynamically, providing a better user experience.

1. Set Up Supabase

If you haven’t already set up a Supabase project, start by creating one:

1. Go to Supabase and create an account.
2. Create a new project in Supabase.
3. Access the Supabase dashboard for your project.

2. Create Your Tables in Supabase

You’ll need two tables: one for your main posts (Posts) and another for linking related posts (related_posts).

Create the Posts Table:

1. Go to Table Editor in Supabase.
2. Click "New Table" and name it Posts.
3. Add the necessary columns such as:
   • id (Primary Key)
   • title (Text)
   • slug (Text, used to link posts)
   • preview (Text)
   • image (Text for image URLs)
   • content (Text or Rich Text)
   • created_at (Timestamp, optional)
4. Click Save.

Create the related_posts Table:

1. Create another table called related_posts.
2. Add these columns:
   • id (Primary Key)
   • post_id (Integer, Foreign Key referencing Posts.id)
   • related_post_id (Integer, Foreign Key referencing Posts.id)
3. Set up foreign key constraints:
   • post_id should reference the id of the Posts table.
   • related_post_id should also reference the id of the Posts table.
4. Click Save.

3. Insert Data into Your Tables
