Mmh alright. I was experimenting with callbacks and such but that isn't getting too far. Only solution I have so far I sis to get the csrf token (or however its spelled), making a requesting using that, and having the DB find the user document, get the ID and then match that to another document in the "data" collection.

You can use the MongoDB API to access the database.

If you want to extend the built-in models used with the default adapter, there is a tutorial on how to do that.

Note: Additional fields cannot currently be captured at login, they can only be captured after an account has been created.

This is something that might change in future - I'm considering something like returning a user object from the signIn callback (e.g. Promise.resolve(user)) which could be used to extend or customise the user object when it is created.

If you want to capture additional fields after sign in, you can use the newUser page or add client logic to force a modal or redirect to provide this information after sign up, before the user can use the site. If it's part of their profile, you could also automatically persist it to another table using a database call in the signIn callback or from an event.

What would be the best way to query the DB for a user? I've seen we can access the access token (from getSession()) and csrfToken (from getcCsrfToken). However, I can't find where the csrfToken is stored in the DB. Would it be safe to just stick with the access token?
