[Feature Request]: Support for MongoDB `_id` in Custom Database Adapter #1524

Closed fruneen closed 3 months ago

Package

lucia

Description

Hey! 👋

I'm currently integrating Lucia with Ship project, which uses MongoDB as its database with our custom database extension for MongoDB driver - node-mongo.

I noticed that Lucia's database adapter interface expects an id field without an underscore, but MongoDB conventionally uses _id for its primary key identifier. This discrepancy makes it challenging to seamlessly integrate Lucia with node-mongo.

I know that the built-in adapter uses transformations between 'id' and '_id', but is there any way to use '_id' with lucia right now?

P.S. I really keen on your library and I'm looking forward to using it in our commercial projects!

I'm not sure how that would work since it'd either Lucia sends both id and _id or somehow send either depending on the adapter. Either way, that'd make the API more complicated than it needs to be just to make supporting one use case a tiny bit easier.
