JWT plugin with sessions instead of Refresh Tokens

In my React Native Expo app, after Apple Sign-In I need to access my own API. I’m considering implementing the JWT plugin. What do you think? Up until now, I haven’t been using sessions at all — I had been running everything with only JWT (Access Tokens and Refresh Tokens ) . That’s why this “session × short-lived JWT” approach feels a bit concerning since it doesn’t involve a Refresh Token....

Hi everyone, when using the authClient.signUp.email I get a full-page reload (SPA Vite, React, Tanstack Router) which affects the UX. I just want to be able to manage the result locally.

Email OTP with Username plugin

I have setup username plugin alongside Email OTP plugin. All good but I have a doubt. How can the user while signing up with email otp have thier username setup automatically?
I did create a custom plugin to solve this issue. The plugin hooks after the email otp sign in and updates the username in db. Only problem is the session does not reflect the updated username. Is this the preferred way to set username automatically? or is there a better way to do this?...

Auto sign-in after OTP email verification?

Hey all. I'm trying to implement email verification through OTP in my app but I ran into this UX issue where the user signs in, has to verify their email through OTP, then they have to sign in again. My question is, is it possible to have an auto-sign in after OTP email verification similar to how the email link verification has the autoSignInAfterVerification? Thank you in advance!...

JSON parse error with oidcProvider and oidcClient()?

I'm encountering a weird error. I have two services, a vite/hono app serving as the oidc provider, and then a nextjs app serving as a client. Whenever I open up the vite/hono app and sign in to the oauth service, and then try to use the sign in button on the nextjs app, I encounter this error. ```[0] # SERVER_ERROR: 955 | throw new APIError("UNAUTHORIZED", { [0] 956 | error_description: "client is disabled", [0] 957 | error: "invalid_client"...

How to silently refresh session (triggering the session.before.create hooks)

When a user logs in, I check if they belong to any orgs, and set the activeOrganizationId in session.before.create, if they do. I also add member_id and member_role to the session, for quick access. But when they change active org, the hook doesn't seem to rerun. The activeorganizationId changes, but the other fields I've added don't. Can I manually create and set a new session silently, given that the user is already authenticated...

Solution:

You're looking to use update hook instead in this case

Magic Link on Expo

I'm having trouble making it work and had a look at the expo plugin implementation. It tries to parse the cookie from the onSuccess hook but that hook fires when the email is sent not after verification. So the plugin actually doesn't receive session token - it just calls the callback URL. Am I missing something? ```ts const { signIn } = createAuthClient({ baseURL: process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_BETTER_AUTH_URL,...

Is this Valid way to fetch session? in SSR

I have setup my auth in a separate hono server and from my frontend (sveltekit) i want to get the session server side so that I can protect routes. I have access to authClient but not the auth instance because all auth logic is handled by the separate backend. The way im doing this is working im just wondering if this approach is correct or maybe theres a better way to solve this?...

Currently, when i click the magic link, i get an error "SQLITE_CONSTRAINT_NOTNULL" because of the prop "type" that is missing.
