Custom Tables | SQL Schema

:nuxt: Help me understand how Better-Auth works with the DB. Better-Auth has its required core schema for the 4 core tables. For id uses string [I'm looking at the core schema] and the generated SQL gets a text type, for example. 1. If I create all tables on my own [Better-Auth Tables + other needed tables] and set that up at the DB level, does the auth instance still need to know about all of them, i.e. via me configuring the better-auth object [for a custom field I added on the user table] and creating my own plugin [for the extra tables]?...

What would be the most secure and preforming way to use Better Auth with Next.js

I am building a Next.js project and I was wondering what would be the best way to use it with better auth. Q1. As the docs say there are two ways we can use any auth function either with authClient or auth. So if we are talking about security is it good to use authClient, I mean it would be easy to avoid validation if the things are happening on the client, If we use server actions with authServer we can do validation both sides Q2. If I am using server components or layouts files, should I use authServer or authClient. ( What I am currently doing is I am using authServer api and passing headers along. ...

Is there a way to get the refresh token after using a social provider?

I didn't find it in the docs but I was wondering if it was possible to get the refresh token from google after sign up. I need it for a calendar integration that I am building. If not is there a way I can handle the oauth2 callback myself so I can get it?

Solution:

pass accessType: "offline" in your google config

Guys, do you know if it's possible for me to do this? On the front end, log in with discord, any other provider, after logging in, send a request to the backend to set the user in the database, however, I wanted to send the jwt (I don't know if this is used in the cookie) to check whether or not the user is in the database after front-end signin --> back-end request to set the user to db, (do not set by front end)...

cookieCache doesn't work with customSession plugin

Hello. I'm wokring on a next.js 15.3 application and noticed that cookieCache doesn't work once I add customSession plugin. I enabled query logging for Prisma client, and see that it queries database on every getSession() call. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Did anyone have similar issues?
