Individual NPM packages for supabase-js modules?

[franklloydteh]

I am not sure if I am using the term 'modules' correctly. But when I say modules, I mean:

• Auth
• Database
• Storage
• Functions
• Realtime

Say I only want Supabase to be used for authentication and chatrooms. I would only import @supabase/auth-js and @supbase/realtime-js.

I can see @supbase/realtime-js as a project, but I only see support projects for authentication (auth-helpers). I am unsure if @supabase/realtime-js can be used as a standalone because the guides for realtime always load/import @supabase/supabase-js

Some benefits:

1. Reduce download sizes (JS file)
2. A layer that prevents Devs from using Supabase features that's handled by other tech (e.g. other Document Management System)
3. A layer that enforces architectural decisions (e.g. do not directly access database, everything must go through functions for additional layers of validation)

#2 and #3 certainly aren't meant to be the only ways of enforcement (code reviews, knowledge transfers) but it would be nice to be explicit in how Supabase can be used in the frontend.
