Setup Help

I'm setting a turbo repo which has two apps admin and app both of them are next js. Should I also create an app called server which is a single auth instance with admin-user plugins and also organisation plugin or do the admin and app should have their own auth instance in the api folder. If I go with the server I will also be adding trpc which then will have adminProcedures (admin user) and protectedProductures(normal user). Please provide a better way to kickoff the project....

Support customizing generateOtp for phone numbers (similar to emailOtp plugin)

Currently, the generateOtp function seems customizable only in terms of length. For staging environments or certain phone numbers, it would be useful to generate a fixed OTP. The emailOtp plugin already supports this kind of customization, but there doesn’t appear to be an equivalent option for phone numbers.

Disabling redirect email.signin if callbackURL set to null

I'm integrating better-auth into my pwa spa vite react app any tips on how to disabled redirect on email.signin default behavior is to redirect to root route (I can easily change redirect location using the callbackURL option in email.signin func, default value "/" root route, can't set it to null either ) causing a full page reload (which takes time) kinda defeats the purpose of using a spa to build, I want to handle redirects with my tan-stack router (doesn't reload the whole page)

Can't get better-auth working with the Tanstack Start and Convex stack

The weird part is the error gives me to nothing to work with, just fetch failed and even weirder is that it wouldn't happen on every reload, but when the page does reload, client interactivity wouldn't work, meaning no onClick handler stuff is working. Neither server nor browser console tells me anything. Have followed, checked and rechecked the setup process. https://convex-better-auth.netlify.app/framework-guides/tanstack-start...

better-auth-ui & Tanstack Start query issue

@daveycodez I'm trying to setup better-auth-ui with tanstack start and tanstack query. I followed exactly whats on the docs and the issue is when i log in and it re-directs me to "/" which i set in the redirectTo="/" of AuthView, using the tanstack query devtools the ["session"] data is always null. if i have the redirectTo="/dashboard" set, then it does have the data. So something to do with the home page that it resets the data to null. any idea? Thank you...

Tracking Active Users

Hi, I was trying to figure out the best way to track my active users. It seems like there's a couple of ways I could do it but they don't necessarily seem convenient. Here's a list of the options I have considered: - I was wondering if sessions would be modified in one way or another changing the updated_at value in the sessions table at least once a day so long as the fresh age was one day. - Considering going off of the getSession and point but that of course fires constantly since it's used pretty frequently across the web application as it stands right now (which it probably shouldn't be but oh well) - Considered using the lastLoginMethod plugin but discovered it does much the same thing as get session where it fires about 6-8 times. - Hooking sign-in endpoints is helpful for tracking sign-ins but they don't give me visiblity on "activity" ...
