Jordi Enric d8bb0ade65 feat(studio): add timezone picker to user dropdown (#45517)
## Problem

The dashboard renders all timestamps in the browser's local timezone.
When debugging app issues, users often want to see logs and timestamps
in a different timezone (e.g. their app's deployment region) without
changing their OS clock.

## Fix

- New Timezone submenu in the user-avatar dropdown, sitting next to the
existing Theme picker. Search-as-you-type combobox over the full IANA
catalog plus an Auto detect option.
- Selection persists in localStorage (`supabase-ui-timezone`) and
survives `clearLocalStorage()`. No backend schema change.
- New `lib/datetime.tsx` exposes pure timezone-aware formatters
(`formatDateTime`, `formatDate`, `formatTime`, `formatFromNow`,
`toTimezone`) plus a `TimezoneProvider` and matching React hooks
(`useTimezone`, `useFormatDateTime`, ...). The pure functions take `tz`
explicitly so they're easy to unit test (17 vitest cases covering DST
transitions, multi-tz formatting, unix-micro/Date inputs, invalid-tz
fallback).
- The selected timezone propagates to every existing `<TimestampInfo>`
in Studio via a new `TimestampInfoProvider` context exported from
`ui-patterns`. No per-callsite changes needed for those ~20+ surfaces.
- The `UnifiedLogs` date column migrates off `date-fns` to the new
`useFormatDateTime` hook (the rest of the date-fns callers stay as-is,
since they're either internal range math or non-display).
- `ALL_TIMEZONES` (~600 entries) moves out of `PITR.constants.ts` into a
shared `lib/constants/timezones.ts`. PITR keeps a re-export shim so its
callers don't move. New `TIMEZONES_BY_IANA` dedupes the catalog by
primary IANA name (the original list contains both PDT and PST rows for
`America/Los_Angeles`, etc.) and `findTimezoneByIana` provides reverse
lookup.
- Telemetry: `timezone_picker_clicked` PostHog event with
`previousTimezone`, `nextTimezone`, `isAutoDetected` properties.

Notes for reviewers:
- Bare `dayjs(x).format(...)` calls (~157 files) intentionally still
render in browser-local time. Surfaces opt in by switching to the new
wrappers, so this PR is the abstraction plus logs adoption; broader
migration is a follow-up.
- Two `// prettier-ignore` lines (`apps/studio/pages/_app.tsx`,
`apps/studio/components/interfaces/UnifiedLogs/UnifiedLogs.fields.tsx`)
work around a pre-existing local-tooling issue where
`prettier-plugin-sql-cst` strips angle-bracket type arguments under
certain conditions. Project's pinned prettier (3.8.1) does not strip;
the issue surfaces with a globally-installed prettier. Worth tracking
separately.
- Hydration: `guessLocalTimezone()` and `useLocalStorageQuery` are
client-only. Studio is mostly CSR via the Pages Router, but any SSR'd
`<TimestampInfo>` may briefly render in the server's tz before client
hydration. Existing behavior already had this mismatch with `.local()`;
this PR does not regress it.
- Backend timestamps round-tripped through query params and mutations
stay UTC. The picker is display-only.

## How to test

- Run `pnpm dev:studio`, sign in.
- Open the user avatar dropdown (top right). Hover Timezone.
- Search for "tokyo", pick `(UTC+09:00) Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo`.
- Open any project, navigate to Logs (e.g. `Project > Logs > Edge
Functions`). Hover a log row's timestamp; the popover should show UTC,
the chosen tz (`Asia/Tokyo`), and the relative time. Visible cell text
should be in JST.
- Visit any page that uses `<TimestampInfo>` (Database > Backups,
Project Pause state, Edge Function details). Same tooltip should reflect
Asia/Tokyo.
- Refresh the page; timezone is still Asia/Tokyo.
- Reopen the picker, choose Auto detect; timestamps revert to browser
local.
- Run `pnpm --filter studio test lib/datetime.test.ts`. 17 tests should
pass.

Community & Support

  • Community Forum. Best for: help with building, discussion about database best practices.
  • GitHub Issues. Best for: bugs and errors you encounter using Supabase.
  • Email Support. Best for: problems with your database or infrastructure.
  • Discord. Best for: sharing your applications and hanging out with the community.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. Were building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
