Next-auth: Use next-auth with decoupled API?

[jimmiejackson414]

Hi there, wonderful library!

Apologies if this isn't a great place for this question, however I've pored over articles/SO/tutorials for awhile now and thought I'd give it a shot here!

I was wondering if you had any suggestions on implementing Next-Auth with a decoupled API. In my repo I've got an 'api' folder which contains my Rails API for handling user authentication, but I know this library uses Express/Passport for user authentication. On my frontend I'm using Next.js and modeled my login after this repo.

Thank you!

I'm in the same situation, I wonder if there's a workaround

I think you can always leverage this https://github.com/iaincollins/next-auth/blob/master/example/next-auth.functions.js

@ntgussoni I'd been looking at that but was scared off with how it's setup with MongoDB currently. Maybe I'll give it a shot with connecting it to my Postgres app. Mind sharing if you come up with something?

Hi there! Thank you, sorry I wasn't able to reply in a timely way.

Hopefully this should be addressed with announcement of version 2.0 which no longer uses Express or Passport.js and will support multiple databases out of the box (including Postgres), if you have need of the package again.
