## Summary Emits `BreadcrumbList` JSON-LD on every `/docs/guides/*` page served by `GuideTemplate`. Search engines and AI crawlers get an explicit hierarchical signal for the docs site (the marketing site already shipped JSON-LD via #45451). The chain prepends `Docs > Guides` to the existing resolver output, so a page like `/docs/guides/auth/passwords` produces a 5-level chain with the leaf URL set per Google's spec. ## Changes - New `apps/docs/lib/breadcrumbs.ts`: pure pathname → chain resolver, server-safe. Extracted from the existing client `useBreadcrumbs` hook so the same logic runs in both contexts. - New `apps/docs/lib/json-ld.ts`: `serializeJsonLd` + `breadcrumbListSchema` mirroring `apps/www/lib/json-ld.ts`. - `Breadcrumbs.tsx` (visual) now delegates to the shared resolver — single source of truth for visual + SEO chains. - `GuideTemplate` takes a required `pathname` prop and emits `<script type="application/ld+json">` next to `<Breadcrumbs />`. Skipped when the chain is empty (e.g., page not in nav menu). Middle items without URLs (e.g., the "Auth" section root) omit `item`, matching the visual breadcrumb. - 8 explicit-prop callers updated; `[[...slug]]` callers already spread `data` (which carries `pathname`). ## Scope **Out of scope:** - `/docs/reference/*` (SDK reference) — no breadcrumbs rendered today, would need separate traversal over spec JSON. - `/guides/troubleshooting/*` — uses its own template, not `GuideTemplate`. - `TechArticle` per-page schema — high maintenance for marginal value. ## Testing (Vercel preview) ```bash curl -s https://<preview>/docs/guides/auth/passwords | grep -oE '<script type="application/ld\+json"[^>]*>[^<]+</script>' ``` Expect a script tag with the chain `Docs > Guides > Auth > Flows (How-tos) > Password-based`, leaf URL `https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth/passwords`. - [x] `/docs/guides/auth/passwords` — 5-item chain, leaf URL present - [x] `/docs/guides/getting-started/features` — 4-item chain, all items have URLs - [x] `/docs/guides/getting-started/ai-prompts/<slug>` — special-case chain (`Getting started > AI Tools > Prompts > <slug>`), leaf URL falls back to pathname - [x] `/docs/guides/database/database-advisors` (explicit-prop caller) — chain renders - [x] Visual breadcrumb on the same pages still renders correctly - [ ] Validate output through [Google Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results) on a deployed preview URL - [x] `/docs/guides/troubleshooting/<slug>` — no JSON-LD emitted (different template, intentional) ## Linear - fixes GROWTH-820 <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added JSON-LD breadcrumb markup to guide pages to improve search/discovery. * **Improvements** * Centralized breadcrumb generation for consistent, accurate breadcrumbs across guides. * Multiple guide pages updated to ensure breadcrumbs and page context display correctly. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
Versioning
All tools have versioned docs, which are kept in separate folders. For example, the CLI has the following folders and files:
cli: the "next" release.cli_spec: contains the DocSpec for the "next" release (see below).cli_versioned_docs: a version of the documentation for every release (including the most current version).cli_versioned_sidebars: a version of the sidebar for every release (including the most current version).
When you release a new version of a tool, you should also release a new version of the docs. You can do this via the command line. For example, if you just released the CLI version 1.0.1:
npm run cli:version 1.0.1
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
