I am using Clerk.dev for user authentication. Since I only store emails and passwords in the database of Clerk, I created a user model which holds all the additional data and references the Clerk model using an unique id.
When logging in Clerk returns (like Auth0) a JWT. However, I wondered if I could use this external provider and the built-in auth package together because I'd love to use bouncer for authorization. My current implementation contains a self made middleware function which validates the JWT. This works fine, altough getting the user payload in the requests is a bit ugly (I extended the request class and implemented a method which returns the local db user which belongs to the JWT).
Is there a way to use external authentication providers with the auth package? The docs only mention a custom user provider, which is kinda what I was looking for, but this would require implementing a login and other functions as well which isn't neccessary since my provider handles all that stuff.
