NextAuth with Postgres
Unanswered

I'm fairly new to NextJS and AuthJS. I want to make an account system with login/register. I want to use Postgres as DB for this.
Is my assumption correct that I can simply install a Postgres database on my server and then connect it to the software via .env.
Could someone explain how I implement the fundamental things in this config file. The logic with the DB should be at //Implement your login logic here

import NextAuth from "next-auth";
import CredentialsProvider from "next-auth/providers/credentials";
export const authOptions = {
providers: [
CredentialsProvider({
name: "Credentials",
credentials: {
username: { label: "Username", type: "text" },
password: { label: "Password", type: "password" }
},
async authorize(credentials) {
// Implement your login logic here
const user = { id: 1, name: "John Doe", email: "john@example.com" };
// If the login details are correct
if (credentials.username === "admin" && credentials.password === "password") {
return user;
} else {
// If the login details are incorrect
return null;
}
}
})

Or why would I use NextAuth at all? Is it needed?

NextAuth is legit trash, I would recommend looking for alternatives. Read more about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/nextjs/comments/18olw72/nextauth_is_hell/

Would you say the Authentication system given by NextJS itself is better?
