Posthog identify after sign up

Hi all, I'm using posthog for analytics in my next js app and planning to make use of the identify feature (https://posthog.com/docs/product-analytics/identify). I use the email and password flow with email verification from better auth. It's pretty easy to set it up when a user logs in as I can use the "onSuccess" callback. However, I can't wrap my head around how to do it after a successful sign up. I know you have a hooks.after callback but it runs on the server side and posthog needs to call identify on the client side. Could you suggest what the best way to do it? Thank you? Here's my auth.ts ``` export const auth = betterAuth({...

Solution:

Hi, maybe try after hook in database. I use it to send a wellcome mail to the user after he sign up. https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/database#database-hooks...

Avatar Upload Issue: Session Cookie Size and Upload Timing

We're facing a challenge with our avatar upload implementation: Problem: When a user uploads an avatar during signup, the base64-encoded image is stored in the session cookie, making it too large and causing the app to crash Potential solution: We need to disable cache for the Session cookie ...

Solution:

you can use before hook or upload the image prior to calling signUp and then pass the image link instead of base64 to better auth.

Anyone managed to create a server side protected route?

I'm having a set of routes that need to be accessible only when the user is authenticated. As per the documentation, I'm trying to create a function that runs on the server. https://docs.solidjs.com/solid-start/advanced/auth#protected-routes I guess it will be enough to check if better-auth.session_token cookie is set....

Solution:

In an API route you use can get it from the request parameter passed in to the method. More generally you can get it anywhere on the server by using solidjs's getRequestEvent(). I will include some sample code below.

On-User-Behalf flow (Microsoft Entra)

I'm trying better-auth for the first time and like it a lot. But I don't get my head around some behaviours and would be super happy if someone could just point me in the right direction. I'm using Astro and Microsoft Entra only. No e-mail/password or other socials. What I'm trying to achieve:...

Solution:

So I switched over to Lucia and got it working. I was following another help thread in here, which got a similar problem. You might find your solution here @mikewilliams : I cannot copy the link.. dont know why. Discord doesn't let me. The thread is called "RefressAcceshToken in SocialProvider (Microsoft) and NextJs 15"...

Stripe 1.2.7 restore issues

Hi, I'm Sveltekit, eager to test this new function out, thanks for adding it! I haven't had success yet, I have been able to cancel subscriptions as normal and everything else works fine. The request to /api/auth/subscription/restore is still returning a 404 Not Found error. is the server-side of this implemented or is it all on the client side? The user.id is being pulled correctly here: const { data, error } = await authClient.subscription.restore({ referenceId: session.user.id }); Thank you!!...

Stripe Subscription Update Shows Error in Console but Still Works

When creating a Stripe subscription, an error is thrown in the console, but the update is successfully reflected in the database. The prisma model is automatically generated by the* better-auth* CLI.

Solution:

The issue was resolved after updating the API version. Thank you for your prompt and helpful response.
