NextAuth.js provides a set of models and schemas for the built-in TypeORM adapter that you can easily extend.

You can use these models with MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres, MongoDB and SQLite.

Creating custom models

import Adapters from "next-auth/adapters"

// Extend the built-in models using class inheritance
export default class User extends Adapters.TypeORM.Models.User.model {
  // You can extend the options in a model but you should not remove the base
  // properties or change the order of the built-in options on the constructor
  constructor(name, email, image, emailVerified) {
    super(name, email, image, emailVerified)
  }
}

export const UserSchema = {
  name: "User",
  target: User,
  columns: {
    ...Adapters.TypeORM.Models.User.schema.columns,
    // Adds a phoneNumber to the User schema
    phoneNumber: {
      type: "varchar",
      nullable: true,
    },
  },
}

// To make importing them easier, you can export all models from single file
import User, { UserSchema } from "./User"

export default {
  User: {
    model: User,
    schema: UserSchema,
  },
}

Using custom models

You can use custom models by specifying the TypeORM adapter explicitly and passing them as an option.

import NextAuth from "next-auth"
import Providers from "next-auth/providers"
import Adapters from "next-auth/adapters"

import Models from "../../../models"

export default NextAuth({
  providers: [
    // Your providers
  ],

  adapter: Adapters.TypeORM.Adapter(
    // The first argument should be a database connection string or TypeORM config object
    "mysql://username:password@127.0.0.1:3306/database_name",
    // The second argument can be used to pass custom models and schemas
    {
      models: {
        User: Models.User,
      },
    }
  ),
})
