How to create custom Mongoose model?

[jonwizrd]

Hi, I'm new to programming so please forgive me for asking a basic question. I'm trying to extend the User model by adding a 'role' field but can't figure out how to do that. I've read the documentation https://next-auth.js.org/schemas/adapters but I dont know if its possible to use TypeORM for my problem? I think I would need to create a custom adapter am i right? Can someone point me in the right direction please

If you're still looking for an answer, I let next-auth handle the login/signup as directed. Then, instead of following the guide to create a custom user model/adapter I create the model and connected to mongoose as suggested by the next with mongoose example.

import mongoose from 'mongoose';

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
// make sure to have the name, email, image, and timestamps
    name: {
      type: String,
    },
    email: {
      type: String,
    },
    image: {
      type: String,
    },
// custom fields go here
    groups: [
      {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: 'groups',
      },
    ],
    ownedGroups: [
      {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: 'groups',
      },
    ],
  },
  { timestamps: true }
);

export default mongoose.models.User || mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

let me know if this helps
