Flutter Chat Example

Simple chat app to demonstrate the realtime capability of Supabase with Flutter.

With WALRUS, Supabase now can have row level security enabled with its realtime feature. This repo utilizes row level security on realtime to securely exchange private messages with other users using the app.

You can also find an example using row level security to provide chat rooms to enable 1 to 1 chats on the with-auth branch.
