MongoDBAdapter()

MongoDBAdapter(client, options): Adapter

Setup

The MongoDB adapter does not handle connections automatically, so you will have to make sure that you pass the Adapter a MongoClient that is connected already. Below you can see an example how to do this.

Add the MongoDB client

// This approach is taken from https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-mongodb
import { MongoClient } from "mongodb"
 
if (!process.env.MONGODB_URI) {
  throw new Error('Invalid/Missing environment variable: "MONGODB_URI"')
}
 
const uri = process.env.MONGODB_URI
const options = {}
 
let client
let clientPromise: Promise<MongoClient>
 
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") {
  // In development mode, use a global variable so that the value
  // is preserved across module reloads caused by HMR (Hot Module Replacement).
  if (!global._mongoClientPromise) {
    client = new MongoClient(uri, options)
    global._mongoClientPromise = client.connect()
  }
  clientPromise = global._mongoClientPromise
} else {
  // In production mode, it's best to not use a global variable.
  client = new MongoClient(uri, options)
  clientPromise = client.connect()
}
 
// Export a module-scoped MongoClient promise. By doing this in a
// separate module, the client can be shared across functions.
export default clientPromise

Configure Auth.js

import NextAuth from "next-auth"
import { MongoDBAdapter } from "@auth/mongodb-adapter"
import clientPromise from "../../../lib/mongodb"
 
// For more information on each option (and a full list of options) go to
// https://authjs.dev/reference/providers/oauth
export default NextAuth({
  adapter: MongoDBAdapter(clientPromise),
})

Parameters
