# DynamoDB
This is the AWS DynamoDB Adapter for next-auth. This package can only be used in conjunction with the primary next-auth package. It is not a standalone package.
You need a table with a partition key `pk` and a sort key `sk`. Your table also needs a global secondary index named `GSI1` with `GSI1PK` as partition key and `GSI1SK` as sorting key. You can set whatever you want as the table name and the billing method.
You can find the full schema in the table structure section below.
## Getting Started
1. Install `next-auth` and `@next-auth/dynamodb-adapter@canary`
```js
npm install next-auth @next-auth/dynamodb-adapter@canary
```
2. Add this adapter to your `pages/api/auth/[...nextauth].js` next-auth configuration object.
You need to pass `DocumentClient` instance from `aws-sdk` to the adapter.
The default table name is `next-auth`, but you can customise that by passing `{ tableName: 'your-table-name' }` as the second parameter in the adapter.
```javascript title="pages/api/auth/[...nextauth].js"
import AWS from "aws-sdk";
import NextAuth from "next-auth";
import Providers from "next-auth/providers";
import { DynamoDBAdapter } from "@next-auth/dynamodb-adapter"
AWS.config.update({
accessKeyId: process.env.NEXT_AUTH_AWS_ACCESS_KEY,
secretAccessKey: process.env.NEXT_AUTH_AWS_SECRET_KEY,
region: process.env.NEXT_AUTH_AWS_REGION,
});
export default NextAuth({
// Configure one or more authentication providers
providers: [
Providers.GitHub({
clientId: process.env.GITHUB_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_SECRET,
}),
Providers.Email({
server: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER,
from: process.env.EMAIL_FROM,
}),
// ...add more providers here
],
adapter: DynamoDBAdapter(
new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient()
),
...
});
```
(AWS secrets start with `NEXT_AUTH_` in order to not conflict with [Vercel's reserved environment variables](https://vercel.com/docs/environment-variables#reserved-environment-variables).)
## Schema
The table respects the single table design pattern. This has many advantages:
- Only one table to manage, monitor and provision.
- Querying relations is faster than with multi-table schemas (for eg. retrieving all sessions for a user).
- Only one table needs to be replicated, if you want to go multi-region.
Here is a schema of the table :
