Benefits of using next-auth, with a custom backend and custom JWT

[georgekrax]

Can someone explain to me what are the advantages of using next-auth when having already set a custom Node.js backend with Express that generates it's own custom JWT tokens? I mean why would I bother when I have implemented a GraphQL API that handles basic auth flows and the frontend uses custom login and signup functionalities? I would really like to use next-auth in my frontend, especially if it becomes framework agnostic. But having to modify it to work with my custom Apollo GraphQL Server, has some difficulties and would like to know if it is worth the struggle.

Thanks in advance for your help! 😊
