Open a builder for a table

Open a RequestBuilder for a table. Every read or write against public.<table> (or the schema set by schema) starts here. The call doesn't hit the wire — it just stores the table name and headers; the request fires when you chain a verb and call .execute.

Signature

supabase.from(table)supabase.from_(table)supabase.table(table)

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`table`	String	Required	Table name (or view name). Resolved against the active schema — public by default, or whatever was set via supabase.schema(name).

Returns

Supabase::Postgrest::RequestBuilder

A chainable builder with select, insert, update, upsert, and delete methods. Nothing is sent until .execute is called on a sub-builder.

Example — fetch rows from a table

response = supabase
  .from("countries")
  .select("id, name")
  .execute

response.data  # => [{ "id" => 1, "name" => "Algeria" }, ...]

Example — `from_` and `table` aliases

from_ and table are aliases for from — they call the same method. Use whichever reads best at the call site.

# All three calls are identical.
supabase.from("orders").select("*").execute
supabase.from_("orders").select("*").execute
supabase.table("orders").select("*").execute

Example — non-public schema

from resolves the table inside the schema set on the client. Use schema to switch.

private_db = supabase.schema("billing")
private_db.from("invoices").select("*").execute
