Official Prisma adapter for Auth.js / NextAuth.js.

Installation​

npm install prisma --save-dev

PrismaAdapter()​

PrismaAdapter(prisma): Adapter

Setup​

Add this adapter to your pages/api/auth/[...nextauth].js next-auth configuration object:

pages/api/auth/[...nextauth].js
import NextAuth from "next-auth"
import GoogleProvider from "next-auth/providers/google"
import { PrismaAdapter } from "@auth/prisma-adapter"
import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client"

const prisma = new PrismaClient()

export default NextAuth({
adapter: PrismaAdapter(prisma),
providers: [
GoogleProvider({
clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
}),
],
})

Create the Prisma schema from scratch​

You need to use at least Prisma 2.26.0. Create a schema file in prisma/schema.prisma similar to this one:

This schema is adapted for use in Prisma and based upon our main schema

schema.prisma
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
shadowDatabaseUrl = env("SHADOW_DATABASE_URL") // Only needed when using a cloud provider that doesn't support the creation of new databases, like Heroku. Learn more: https://pris.ly/d/migrate-shadow
}

generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
previewFeatures = ["referentialActions"] // You won't need this in Prisma 3.X or higher.
}

model Account {
id String @id @default(cuid())
userId String
type String
provider String
providerAccountId String
refresh_token String? @db.Text
access_token String? @db.Text
expires_at Int?
token_type String?
scope String?
id_token String? @db.Text
session_state String?

user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)

@@unique([provider, providerAccountId])
}

model Session {
id String @id @default(cuid())
sessionToken String @unique
userId String
expires DateTime
user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
}

model User {
id String @id @default(cuid())
name String?
email String? @unique
emailVerified DateTime?
image String?
accounts Account[]
sessions Session[]
}

model VerificationToken {
identifier String
token String @unique
expires DateTime

@@unique([identifier, token])
}
note

When using the MySQL connector for Prisma, the Prisma String type gets mapped to varchar(191) which may not be long enough to store fields such as id_token in the Account model. This can be avoided by explicitly using the Text type with @db.Text.

Create the Prisma schema with prisma migrate​

This will create an SQL migration file and execute it:

npx prisma migrate dev

Note that you will need to specify your database connection string in the environment variable DATABASE_URL. You can do this by setting it in a .env file at the root of your project.

To learn more about Prisma Migrate, check out the Migrate docs.

Generating the Prisma Client​

Once you have saved your schema, use the Prisma CLI to generate the Prisma Client:

npx prisma generate

To configure your database to use the new schema (i.e. create tables and columns) use the prisma migrate command:

npx prisma migrate dev

MongoDB support​

Prisma supports MongoDB, and so does Auth.js. Following the instructions of the Prisma documentation on the MongoDB connector, things you have to change are:

  1. Make sure that the id fields are mapped correctly
id  String  @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
  1. The Native database type attribute to @db.String from @db.Text and userId to @db.ObjectId.
user_id            String   @db.ObjectId
refresh_token String? @db.String
access_token String? @db.String
id_token String? @db.String

Everything else should be the same.

Naming Conventions​

If mixed snake_case and camelCase column names is an issue for you and/or your underlying database system, we recommend using Prisma's @map()(see the documentation here) feature to change the field names. This won't affect Auth.js, but will allow you to customize the column names to whichever naming convention you wish.

For example, moving to snake_case and plural table names.

schema.prisma
model Account {
id String @id @default(cuid())
userId String @map("user_id")
type String
provider String
providerAccountId String @map("provider_account_id")
refresh_token String? @db.Text
access_token String? @db.Text
expires_at Int?
token_type String?
scope String?
id_token String? @db.Text
session_state String?

user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)

@@unique([provider, providerAccountId])
@@map("accounts")
}

model Session {
id String @id @default(cuid())
sessionToken String @unique @map("session_token")
userId String @map("user_id")
expires DateTime
user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)

@@map("sessions")
}

model User {
id String @id @default(cuid())
name String?
email String? @unique
emailVerified DateTime? @map("email_verified")
image String?
accounts Account[]
sessions Session[]

@@map("users")
}

model VerificationToken {
identifier String
token String @unique
expires DateTime

@@unique([identifier, token])
@@map("verificationtokens")
}
