Update

It is possible to customize the name of the jwks table -- see https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/2659#issuecomment-2938631725.

It would be great if this were documented at https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/jwt#jwks.

Original Post

It does not appear that the jwks table name is able to be customized: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/jwt#jwks

It would be great if we could do this the same way that we can for the core tables: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/database#custom-table-names

I've tried patching the model fields in this file, but ran into some other issues around getting the model name from the schema.

(Sidenote: the table name jwks is plural, while most others are singular, e.g. user)

Hey @michaelhays, it's a little confusing but this is the way I've found that works. Also, you can change the field names here too. Not sure why the docs don't mention adding the schema via the jwt() function.

plugins: [
  jwt({
    schema: {
      jwks: { 
        modelName: 'jwks',
        fields: { ... }
      }
    }
  }),
]
...

Seems to be the intended way. Saw it on another plugin somewhere...

Best of luck!

Thanks so much @JoshB2chE, worked like a charm! I tried looking everywhere internally for this config, but couldn't find it 😅

I'll update this issue to ask for better documentation around this.

No worries! Yeah I can't remember where I saw it. Tried looking for the page again.

Cheers, JB
