How can I handle the Apple review process when using the phone number plugin ?

For Apple review, I need to create a test account for the reviewer to log in. The login process is as follows: 1/ Enter their phone number 2/ Enter the OTP received by SMS However, the reviewer can’t use a real phone, so the account must be created in advance, and the OTP must always be the same....

Sign-up: posting fields to other tables

I've added additional fields to 'user' that all post fine, but I also have another table that takes the user.id as a foreign key and one field that authClient.signUp.email sends belongs to this table. I'm using a Drizzle Schema for the db, so the schema is at least known by BA. ` database: drizzleAdapter(db, { provider: 'pg', schema: dbschema, // contains all tables ...

Solution:

I recommend just creating a row in that other table in a database hook

Is it safe to check the user session only in middleware and not in routes in Hono?

This is not recommended in Fullstack frameworks like SvelteKit and Nextjs. But with Hono, can we rely on this? I mean checking the session in a global middleware, and just returning 401 there if cannot get it... I believe yes, but I just want to double check, and also maybe some experienced person can update the documentation 🙂...

Get magic link without sending an email

I need to extract the URL directly from the request on the backend, but I’m not sure if it’s even possible since the function doesn’t provide any URL or token parameters.

Solution:

Yeah your best bet is to use your ORM. It would be silly of us if we returned the link in the response of that endpoint

How can I make a "error middleware"?

Hi guys. So, I have the back-end config of better-auth and the front-end client. The thing is, I need to format the errors of the better auth to normalize them to the default error pattern that my back-end provides, and for such, I needed some kind of error middleware of the better auth in the back-end. I tried the following in the back-end config: ...

SvelteKit cookie get's nuked after being created

So I have a setup of sveltekit + elysia backend(separated services) created with t-better-auth.. locally everything works perfectly. but in production my login does not work at all, the cookie get's created (I can see through the chrome devtools), but then when the redirect to /dashboard happens, the cookie gets nuked and the hooks.server.ts is unnable to validate the session. This would make so that the only viable way of working with better-auth in sveltekit would be 100% client-side code, which is horrible for both DX and UX....
