Unable to handle Stripe Webhooks when client and server on different domains

Hi, Firstly, thanks for an awesome library. I've stumbled across an issue and hoping if someone had any pointers. Currently trying to integrate Stripe with Organizations. From a setup POV, we have the backend running Hono on CF Workers and for the frontend, we have a React + Vite (separate client and server)...

Cannot use useSession hook

Hello, I use Better Auth with Next.js. I use the Discord provider and it works but when I want to retrieve the user's session, my IDE tells me that authClient.useSession is not callable and I got this in my browser's console: GET http://localhost:3000/api/auth/use-session 404 (Not Found). My file src/app/api/auth/[...all]/route.ts looks like this: ```ts...

Client-side useSession() not updating upon sign-in

I'm using SvelteKit form actions to handle sign-in (with the new sveltekitCookies plugin), but after I sign in, my layout doesn't update until I refresh the page. Looking at dev tools, the cookie is set properly right after sign-in. Any help would be appreciated! +page.server.ts ```js import { auth } from '$lib/auth';...

Solution:

if you sign in on the server side, useSession doesn't know that. If you did the signIn using authClient, useSession would know. What I would recommend is after calling the server action, on the client call refetch: ```ts const { refetch } = authClient.useSession(); //. ^...

Can I setup BetterAuth without a DB?

My Backend is managing by other team with Java Spring boot and my frontend is Nextjs and expo, I want to use BetterAuth but seems docs says I need to have a db, but my DB is managing by other team so why I need a db, why it can't work like Next Auth!! or am I missing here??

How to catch validation errors when using a zod schema in an endpoint

Argument of type is not assignable

Hello! I just updated to Better Auth v1.3 to try out the new SvelteKit cookies plugin, I'm using the code on the changelog but I'm getting this problem on getRequestEvent in VS Code: ``` Argument of type '() => RequestEvent<Partial<Record<string, string>>, string | null>' is not assignable to parameter of type '() => Promise<RequestEvent<Partial<Record<string, string>>, string | null>>'. Type 'RequestEvent<Partial<Record<string, string>>, string | null>' is missing the following properties from type 'Promise<RequestEvent<Partial<Record<string, string>>, string | null>>': then, catch, finally, [Symbol.toStringTag]ts(2345)...

Solution:

sveltekitCookies(async () => getRequestEvent()) seems to have resolved this for me

ERROR [Better Auth]: State not found undefined

I'm getting this error in this repo—the beta branch. I'm setting this SvelteKit project up to be deployed to Cloudflare. I implemented GitHub auth (the App way, not OAuth way). Everything works well, up until when GitHub redirects back to the app, then I get the page in the screenshot attached. @glassy had a similar issue, but his hint at the solution isn't quite clear to me: ``` As noted above, I forgot to include the query string when re-constructing the URL....

Solution:

This has been fixed. I made a silly mistake: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/3488#issuecomment-3094408678

How to check if slug has spaces before the organization creation?

Hey all! I want to check if slug has spaces, if it has, return custom error so you can display error message on frontend "slug is invalid". I know about the beforeCreate and allowUserToCreateOrganization functions, but as far as I know, there is no way to return custom error message, to handle it on frontend.

Solution:

why not just validate client side before submission to the API endpoint

Google Provider prompt parameter type mismatch causes OAuth error

I'm encountering an issue with the Google OAuth provider configuration in better-auth. According to the documentation, to always get a refresh token, I should set prompt to "select_account+consent" as in documentation, but this causes a Google OAuth error. ``` socialProviders: { google: { clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID as string,...
