On-boarding step after social login

Hey! I m using google social signin and i give new users the 'pedning' role attribute in my database, I want to redirect these type of users to the onboarding page whenever they try to access anything in my app. where i collect additional infos about them such as to setup a displayname. , so basically not allowed to skip this step, then i change their status to something like 'member'. i want to know if there is a way to get the authenticated user data in my middleware so i can read their role status and redirect accordinly isntead of spamming all my pages with this check ? or any other method. thank you !...

Re-sending verification link after verification token expires

What's the correct pattern to allow re-sending a verification link if the user waits until after the verification token has expired to click the verification link? (1) - UX pattern - I could check the query string for error=token_expired and provide some UI where they can enter the email address they signed up with to get a new verification link sent to them. Is there a better UX here? (2) - generating verification token - not sure how to generate the token that sendVerificationEmail expects...

Use auth on client or server (NEXTJS)

Hey, for security and optimization reasons, should I use server-side authentication (e.g., await auth.api... in a server component) and pass the result to the client component when needed, or is it better to use the client-side authentication directly (authClient)? In which cases should I use one over the other?...

Access token from Social Login

I am migrating from Supabase. Everything works well until I tried to find out how can I get the provider token (from Google) after a successful login. I am using more roles on login and then after I want to use the token to authenticate to some Gmail APIs. I tried to get on authClient.useSession and authClient.listAccounts() . Is there a way? I am using Hono on backend and React with Vite on frontend....

Solution:

Better Auth doesn't expose the provider tokens on the client. You can make an endpoint and fetch the accounts table.

Solution:

You need to pass the headers of the user making the request.

How to log sign-in, sign-out, and errors?

Hi, How can I log user logins, logouts, errors, and other actions in the Better Auth library? I’m using it in a Next.js. Is there a built-in way to handle logging, or do I need to implement custom event tracking? Thank you...
