Use provided `JWT` to make supabase client object logged with this `JWT`

[karolzlot]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to have this feature: supabase.auth.setAuth(jwt);

supabase/supabase#1094 (reply in thread)

Currently I think I can just use JWT in create_client(url, key) and effect will be the same? (I'm not sure)

I'm currently working on a PR to add dataclasses to the responses and synchronize the functionalities between gotrue-py and gotrue-js, that functionality that you mention is already in gotrue-js so I will add it to gotrue-py in the PR.

supabase/auth-py#23

When I say, "currently", it is literal 😅. Here you have a preview

def set_auth(self, access_token: str) -> Session:
    """Overrides the JWT on the current client. The JWT will then be sent in
    all subsequent network requests.

    Parameters
    ----------
    access_token : str
        A JWT token

    Returns
    -------
    response : Session
        A logged-in session

    Raises
    ------
    error : ApiError
        If an error occurs
    """
    session = Session(
        access_token=access_token,
        token_type="bearer",
        user=None,
        expires_in=None,
        expires_at=None,
        refresh_token=None,
        provider_token=None,
    )
    if self.current_session:
        session.expires_in = self.current_session.expires_in
        session.expires_at = self.current_session.expires_at
        session.refresh_token = self.current_session.refresh_token
        session.provider_token = self.current_session.provider_token
    self._save_session(session)
    return session

Ok thank you!

Is it correct that the effect is the same in two snippets below??

supabase_client = create_client(url, anon_key)
supabase_client.set_auth(user_jwt_key)

supabase_client = create_client(url, user_jwt_key)

If I'm not mistaken (because I'm familiar with gotrue, but not much with the other libraries) they don't do the same.

By the way, what you want to make in the 1st option is currently possible. Although I do not know if a new release has been published with that change.

supabase_client = create_client(url, anon_key)
supabase_client.auth.set_auth(user_jwt_key)

Hey, not sure if I'm doing anything wrong. But the following does not seem to work.

session = supabase.auth.sign_in(email=os.environ.get("EMAIL"), password=os.environ.get("PASS"))

supabase.auth.set_auth(access_token=session.access_token)

data = supabase.table("videos").select("*").execute()
print(len(data.data))

This prints 0 normally but if I create the supabase client with the secret key, it prints the total number of rows. The table has RLS enabled.

from supabase import create_client, Client
The Client has no functions called set_auth.
Is that right?
