nextjs auth guidance with django rest framework and discord social auth.

Question

I am not finding the NexAuth.js docs all that helpful and am wondering if anyone has any solid resources for setting up nextjs to authenticate via discord -> django rest framework -> back to nextjs (whereby the next app can query both drf and discord via separate apis).

Thanks!

It does not seems like that nextauth support django as adapter: (see attached). However, you can still add the discord provider like that: https://next-auth.js.org/providers/discord to your nextauth config. Like that you will be able to login with discord but have your own backend. You can then directly use jwt to have a valid session and the auth part is completed 👍
