useSession is not is not callable ?

need help with the clients hooks every client hook gives me a typescript error like this `` This expression is not callable. No constituent of type 'Atom<{ data: { session: { userAgent: string | null | undefined; id: string; createdAt: Date; updatedAt: Date; userId: string; expiresAt: Date; token: string; ipAddress?: string | null | undefined; }; user: { ...; }; } | null; error: BetterFetchError | null; isPending: boolean; }>' is callable.ts(2349)...

Solution:

My guess is your auth client is importing createAuthClient from better-auth/client rather than better-auth/react

How do I use the auth.api.deleteUser endpoint from a server action?

I am trying to figure out how to invoke different auth.api endpoints from my server code in NextJS. I cannot seem to figure out what the implementation should be.

User avatars/profile pics for Microsoft Entra social sign in

Hello, I am trying to implement social sign in with Microsoft Entra. In the Entra dashboard my App Registration has selected User.Read and User.ReadBasic.All (the latter gives "Allows the app to read a basic set of profile properties of other users in your organization on your behalf. Includes display name, first and last name, email address and photo.") My better auth config lists the User.ReadBasic.All scope:...

Solution:

So I've partially solved it. I've confirmed scope: ["User.ReadBasic.All"] is correct, but the image doesn't provide the placeholder you see in microsoft apps if an avatar isn't explicitly set.

Determine if new user without callbacks in expo

When using authClient.signin.social in an expo app the deep link callbacks don't currently work, sounds like it should be fixed in an upcoming version. In the meantime I'm using the workaround that is in the example expo project to force a redirect after authenticating: ``` useEffect(() => { if (isAuthenticated) {...

Custom values into `authClient.signIn.social()`?

Hey there 👋 What's the best way to manually set user values when signing a user in through an OAuth provider? For example, I may want to set a custom, default user image instead of using your social provider image, or I may want a custom name or username. Since I am using Next.js, intercepting the user with a layout function is pretty trivial, but maybe there is some Better-Auth way to do this through hooks or something similar?

Solution:

you can actually map the value here for example ``` socialProviders: { google: { clientId: "YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID",...

additional fields not included in session

The role is included in the session object, but not the onboardingDone. The fieldName is the same as that in the database...

Solution:

If you're using an ORM, try removing the fieldName prop from the additional fields

The field "id" does not exist in the "verification" schema

Hey guys, I'm trying to get Better Auth working with Directus, a headless CMS system. I'm having to hack around a little by manually creating the tables that there isn't an analog in Directus, and am having an issue with the verification table, which outputs

# SERVER_ERROR:  [BetterAuthError: The field "id" does not exist in the "verification" schema. Please update your drizzle schema or re-generate using "npx @better-auth/cli generate".] {
  cause: undefined
}

typescript not recognizing role field in astro locals with better auth

added a role field via additionalFields in auth.ts. At runtime, isAuthed.user from auth.api.getSession correctly includes role, but TypeScript doesn’t recognize it on Astro.locals.user. My env.d.ts uses import("better-auth").User, which lacks custom fields. Tried inferAdditionalFields<typeof auth>() on the client, but it didn’t help Astro’s types. Any advice on aligning the types properly?

"userId" as id of user instead of "id"

I want to implement BetterAuth inside an existing application, but the user model has user.userId field as the id, but I see BetterAuth requires it to be user.id is it possible to change this or should I make an additional column for the better auth id?...

Solution:

We don't allow custom id names yet. @IceeCold It may be a future we add later down the line however....

stripe subscription edge case question cancel_at_period_end

Hi, I'm working in SvelteKit with the new Stripe plugin and drizzle adapter. All is smooth but I'm testing edge cases where a customer subscribes, cancels and resubscribes. the "cancel_at_period_end" doesn't change to false or null after the resubscription. Is onSubscriptionUpdate hook the best bet? I haven't gotten this to work if so: onSubscriptionComplete: async ({ subscription: subscriptionData }) => {
await db...

Difference between SSO and social sign on

What's the difference between SSO and social sign on? Why do I need to register the SSO oidc provider in the database when I can configure social sign on through code? What is it doing when I call the register with the user account, is it somehow saying that user owns the oidc provider?
