Better Auth with tRPC

is it good to wrap all better auth features into trpc? i mean like, i don't want to call authClient.signin directly, but i want to call it through trpc like const signInMutation = trpc.auth.signIn. so that all API calls are the same. because right now it's just auth it's a shame not to use trpc.

Set Client url for emailAndPassword reset

Hello! I'm using better-auth for node/express running on localhost:5001. I also have a react app running on localhost:3001. When I use the sendResetPassword better auth creates a valid token however with the wrong URL, using the server url I specified in baseBath. How can I specify the client url to use (in dev for example: localhost:3001)?

OAuth with TikTok failing — “code_challenge” error on redirect

Hi! I’m integrating BetterAuth in my Next.js app with a custom PostgreSQL schema via Prisma. Everything works fine locally, but when I try to sign in with the TikTok provider on my deployed Vercel app, I’m redirected to a TikTok error page saying: “An error occurred. TikTok login failed. This may be due to application-specific settings. If you’re a developer, fix the following and try again: code_challenge.” I’m not doing any manual PKCE handling in my code, and I assumed BetterAuth manages it internally....

How to delete a user creates with oauth?

Is there a way to use the deleteUser api for a user that, for example, signed up via google? As soone as the session isn't fresh the api required a password, but oauth users don't have a password. Do I have to manually cover these use cases? If yes, how can I generate my own token and send it to that user's email?

role-based authorization

Hi, I'm implementing role-based access control in my admin panel and facing a challenge. I need to restrict access so only users with user.metadata.role === "ADMIN" can log in. What's the recommended approach in Better Auth to: - Validate a user's role/permissions BEFORE creating a session? - Is there any equivalent to Next Auth's authorize callback that lets me check custom conditions during login?...

Solution:

thanks @Soheel i tried with hooks (not databasehooks), it worked 🎉 I added this to my auth config ```ts hooks: {...
