How to create a pool synchronously?

[hexcowboy]

I'm using Slonik in a NextAuth app and I'm having troubles since createPool is async.

import NextAuth, { NextAuthOptions } from "next-auth";
import GithubProvider from "next-auth/providers/github";
import SlonikAdapter from "nextauth-slonik/dist/adapter";
import { type DatabasePool, createPool } from "slonik";

const pool: DatabasePool = createPool( // ❌ Type 'Promise<DatabasePool>' is not assignable to type 'DatabasePool'.
  "postgres://postgres:docker@localhost:5432"
);

export const auth: NextAuthOptions = {
  adapter: SlonikAdapter(pool),
  providers: [
    GithubProvider({
      clientId: process.env.GITHUB_ID!,
      clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_SECRET!,
    }),
  ],
};

export default NextAuth(auth);

How would I create the pool synchronously so that I can also export it?

There is no way in Slonik to create a connection pool synchronously. The reason for that is because initializing Slonik pool requires data from the database.
