Can I Add a User-Type Condition to the SQL WHERE Clause During Sign-in?

I have added a "role" field to the user model as follows. Is it possible to add a condition to the SQL WHERE clause to only include users with a specific "role" when signing in? I have looked through the documentation and source code, but I couldn't find a way to extend the SELECT conditions. Please let me know if there is a good way to do this....

CSRF with Next.js server directive w/ Backend Api

For CSRF to work (with Next.js server directive), so that the client requests get forwarded from the Next.js server to our BetterAuth backend API, do we need to manually forward all of the headers to the backend API?

Vite cannot find "react" import in the npm package

I'm implementing the svelte demo in my sveltekit app as a test, and when running vite server, this error occurs: ``` ✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "react" node_modules/better-auth/dist/client/react/index.mjs:3:58:...

Solution:

Solved: The initial import of the library in the client was using "better-auth/react", needed to change it to "better-auth/svelte" to import the correct framework library.

Update TypeScript types of the user ID table

Hello, I looked at different posts here and I understand that the ID from the user table can't be changed but I've modified my SQLite database schema to use an integer type for the primary id column of the user table (because I did a migration and I need to keep the IDs). ...

Do invites only work with existing users? Or can an org owner invite an employee directly?

Middleware in a Better Auth Project

how the middleware of a project using better-auth should look? because i was using this middleware: ```tsx...

Solution:

We highly suggest using the middleware in next just to decide routing for a user and not the only place to check for auth. And fetching session from an api can make your site slow, since now you're running a server and a db on every call. I suggest checking for cookie and on the actual pages, checking for the actual session.

Solution:

Hey for maning perms, you have 2 options built into better auth. App level access control and org level access control. For app level access control, check out the admin plugins and for org level the organization plugin has something built in.

Admin to add users to their organisation

Hi all. I'm building out a Saas project in next.js where I will have clients set up as organisations and each client will have multiple users. I've implemented admin and organisation plugins, have created some organisations and created some users which is all good. The lead user (as an admin) can create other users but how do these new users get assigned in to the organisation? I have basic RBAC established so that only an organisations users can see data/ other users in that organisation.

Anyone have an idea what this bug is about

The inferred type of authClient cannot be named without a reference to ../../../../node_modules/better-auth/dist/shared/better-auth.Bi8FQwDD . This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary. I have added dom to tsconfig, cleared my node_modules and cache, updated to better-auth: ^1.2.4, as well. This is what I am trying to do, example from docs...

How can I extend the organisation plugin?
