## Installation

npm install @payloadcms/db-vercel-postgres
```

## Usage

### Explicit Connection String

```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { vercelPostgresAdapter } from '@payloadcms/db-vercel-postgres'

export default buildConfig({
  db: vercelPostgresAdapter({
    pool: {
      connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URI,
    },
  }),
  // ...rest of config
})
```

### Automatic Connection String Detection

Have Vercel automatically detect from environment variable (typically `process.env.POSTGRES_URL`)

```ts
export default buildConfig({
  db: postgresAdapter(),
  // ...rest of config
})
```
