Generate type-safe Pydantic models that simplify working with supabase-py

supabase-models

Generate type-safe Pydantic models from your Supabase database schema that simplify working with supabase-py.

Overview

Rapid development without complex hustle. This tool introspects your database schema and generates Python models with constraint validation.
The tool uses a built-in Jinja2 template that you can customize to your needs. Generated models follow our ruff style guidelines for consistent formatting.

Prerequisites

This package is designed to work with:

• supabase-py - The official Supabase Python client
• PostgreSQL databases (including Supabase projects)

Installation

pip install supabase-models
# or with uv (recommended)
uv add supabase-models

Basic Usage

1. Generate Models

supabase-models --database-url postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database

Default behavior:

• Output file: models.py in current directory
• Schema: public
• Template: Built-in Jinja2 template

[!TIP] See CLI Reference below for all available options and configuration methods

2. Use with supabase-py

The generated models provide dump() and load() methods to simplify working with supabase-py:

• dump() - Use when sending data to Supabase
• load() - Use when loading received data from Supabase responses

from supabase import create_client, Client
from models import Product, ProductStatusEnum  # Your generated models

# Initialize Supabase client
supabase_client: Client = ... # Noqa

# INSERT: Create and insert a new product
product = Product(name="Wireless Mouse", sku="WM-2024", price=29.99, status=ProductStatusEnum.DRAFT)
insert_response = supabase_client.table(Product.table_name).insert(product.dump()).execute()

# SELECT: Query and parse products back to typed models
select_response = supabase_client.table(Product.table_name).select("*").execute()
products: list[Product] = Product.load(select_response)

See the section below for details on how these models are generated.

Generated Output

Given this database schema:

-- Create enum types
CREATE TYPE product_status AS ENUM ('draft', 'active', 'archived');

-- Create tables
CREATE TABLE categories (
    id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE products (
    id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    sku VARCHAR(20) UNIQUE NOT NULL CHECK (sku ~ '^[A-Z]{2,3}-[0-9]{3,4}$'),
    price DECIMAL(10,2) CHECK (price > 1),
    category_id BIGINT REFERENCES categories(id),
    status product_status DEFAULT 'draft',
    created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);

The tool generates the following models:

Note: Simplified example showing key capabilities. Some code sections abbreviated for clarity.

from decimal import Decimal
from enum import Enum
from typing import Any, ClassVar

class ProductStatusEnum(str, Enum):

    """Base model with supabase-py integration helpers."""
    
    ...
    # All helper logic is automatically generated
    # Main methods: load() for parsing responses, dump() for preparing data
    # Additional utilities for validation and type conversion are included
