+- chore(dbauth-mw): Refactor web side dbAuth creation (#10460) by @dac09
+
+This PR changes how the webside auth is initialised, by removing the `createMiddlewareAuth` function, instead it just detects it internally. 
+
+For dbAuth this is what it will looks like: 
+
+```js:web/src/auth.ts
+import {
+  createDbAuthClient,
+  createAuth,
+} from '@redwoodjs/auth-dbauth-web'
+
+const dbAuthClient = createDbAuthClient({
+  middleware: true,
+})
+
+// Internally we know to use the middleware version of the client
+// because middleware is set to true above!
+export const { AuthProvider, useAuth } = createAuth(dbAuthClient)
+
+```
+
+For other auth providers we are going to export a similar looking function:
+
+```js
+import { createAuth, createSupabaseAuthClient } from '@redwoodjs/auth-supabase-web'
+
+// This function is new, and just wraps creating supabase👇
+const supabaseClient = createSupabaseAuthClient({
+  supabaseUrl: process.env.SUPABASE_URL || '',
+  supabaseKey: process.env.SUPABASE_KEY || '',
+  middleware: true
+})
+
+export const { AuthProvider, useAuth } = createAuth(supabaseClient)
+```
+
+This also means our users won't need to change where supabase client is imported from, for example.
