we are currently moving out adapters from the main repo. you can see a WIP Fauna adapter here nextauthjs/adapters#5

[Rashmi-278]

@balazsorban44 Can you please provide the instructions to install the adapter from fauna branch and run it please?

[balazsorban44]

You can find a super-early release here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next-auth/fauna-adapter. Do expect bugs. You can always look at the source code and implement your own custom one if you absolutely need to get it working.

Hey thank you !
I have already tried the plugin but their seems to be an issue with detecting the package

I have documented my attempts here , can you please take a look at it ? Attempt 2 , looks like a bug

Attempt 1 ,
Repo : https://github.com/Rashmi-278/faunadb-adapter-nextauth-test…
Steps followed for attempt 1
https://gist.github.com/Rashmi-278/633fb62ee0c70277bc69b033eeb55409…
Then I realised that modifying node_modules is a bad idea
Here's my attempt 2
Repo :https://github.com/Rashmi-278/fauna-adapter-test…
Steps followed : https://hackmd.io/592gFSe_QSmaZmlnjehtSQ…

What do you mean by:

[Rashmi-278]

It give me an Module not found error , But in the node modules its installed

[balazsorban44]

BTW, since it is such an early release, you might be better off just copy-pasting the content of the PR in your code and tweak it around. Unfortunately, I have no experience with Fauna, and one of the reasons we moved it to the adapters repo, so the community could maintain it for us. @pbteja1998 MIGHT be able to give some advice as the creator of the PR, if he doesn't mind. 🙂

It installs the src and tests folder

[Rashmi-278]

Ohhh okay , I actually tried that before , in attempt 1 but I feel like the code should be transpiled .

I understand , thank you for helping ! I will contact him , I hope he doesnt mind too !
Have a great weekend :) @balazsorban44

It installs the src and tests folder

Right! Then it is because we forgot to publish the built/transpailed code to npm... I think @williamluke4 fixed this, but the Fauna PR hasn't been updated.

Including the code directly in your project would make sure Next.js transpiles is correctly though. 😉. I'll check if we can get the PR publishing work properly, so you can just import it normally.

Hey @Rashmi-278 I am using Fauna DB adapter on my NextJS starter repo. Take a look at that. I will try to work on the PR in the nextjs-adapters too so that you can install it directly from there when that is done.

[Rashmi-278]

Hey thank you very much ! really its very helpful ! Please let me know If I can be of any help , I would love to learn and help out. Thank you again !

[pbteja1998]

I also have a setup-db script in my package.json file, copy that script and run it with your Fauna Secret to create necessary collections and indexes.

for anyone looking for more on using the FaunaDB adapter with nextauth, there’s now a doc for it: https://next-auth.js.org/adapters/fauna

[pbteja1998]

I think it would be good if the index is named as verification_request_by_token_and_identifier instead of verification_request_by_token.

[balazsorban44]

care to open a PR with a fix? 😊

[pbteja1998]

Done
