Add In-Depth Explanation for Database Adapter Models

[User5842]

What is the improvement or update you wish to see?

I'd like to see a more in-depth explanation of the models used for the database adapters. I don't want to speak for everyone else, but I am curious if most of us simply copy the models, paste them into our code base, and forget about them. That's great for quick prototyping and getting things up and running, but I'd like to understand why those models are used, why they are necessary, why the specific data types and relations were chosen, etc. Either way, Auth.js is a fantastic tool, and I am excited about its future. Thanks!

Is there any context that might help us understand?

I don't have anything extra to add. I hope the above was clear enough, but I would happily add more if the team needs it; thank you.

Does the docs page already exist? Please link to it.

Hi @User5842, the full explanation is here https://authjs.dev/guides/creating-a-database-adapter

Maybe the guide name is confusing. 🤔

Other than that, it should give you a breakdown of every model, what adapter functions they relate to, how to expand the data with custom fields, and which one of them you need for certain functionality.

Anything missing there though in your opinion?

Whoops, sorry for the delay in responding! That document looks excellent; thanks for linking me to it. I must have missed it while looking through the documents.
