Use auth.api as request only?

I'm using auth.api across multiple apps. They don't necessarily share the same DB, but I keep getting a "this relation does not exist" error when trying to use it. Using just fetch works without a problem. Any suggestions...

405 When signing in after deploying

I’m having an issue where when signing in, it uses whatever URL I’m navigated to, like if I’m using a Vercel preview URL it does /auth from that URL, instead of using my preset BETTER_AUTH_URL Anyone else having a similar issue?...

Hi, I want to "connect" my electron app to my nextjs server using better-auth with an admin plugin. How would I be able to connect an account to the electron app then get the users permissions to then do some things depending on these permissions? For login in would my best choice be an electron deep link?

Shareable links

I’m planning to make parts of my dashboard shareable as reports — similar to how you can share files in Figma. Has anyone already implemented something like this with better-auth? I’d love to hear your ideas on how to approach this. Currently, I’m using Next.js....

No page refresh after sign in or sign out?

I have created a simple Next.js application - I use sign (with email/password) with a server action that creates a cookie (from auth.ts) - I use sign out with a client action (from auth_client.ts)...

[OIDC] Post-consent authorization in refresh token flow

- BA as OIDC OP (OIDC provider plugin) - Auth.js as OIDC RP client.oauth2.authorize(...) with offline_access scope + prompt=consent parameter works the first time (redirects back to client after accepting consent with client.oauth2.consent(...)) along with a refresh token, however subsequent requests trigger a 500 error. They work again if I delete the corresponding record in the oauth_consent table. What am I doing wrong in the flow? Can share more details as needed (query parameters passed to .authorize, etc.)...

Soft Deletes

Hi! I had a broader question around how BetterAuth is intended to support soft deletes across different entities (users, organizations, invitations, etc). In our system, we soft delete records by setting deletedAt to a non-null val rather than hard-deleting them. I'm running into some challenges where BetterAuth’s core logic doesn't seem to account for soft-deleted entities. For example, when creating an invitation, if a user’s email already exists (even if soft-deleted), it throws an error. Similarly, creating users or organizations could conflict if soft-deleted records aren’t ignored during validation....

inferAdditionalFields

What is the purpose of inferAdditionalFields (this is mostly rhetorical) because the returned user object from signin email doesn't have additional fields even if specified and if you don't put inferAdditionalFields in your client config the fields are added by default to the user returned in the session. I am confused on the purpose because it doesn't seem to do anything. I am likely doing something wrong somewhere....

Solution:

I'm good. The documentation helps: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/typescript#inferring-additional-fields-on-client...

Solution:

Found a quick fix

export type User = typeof auth.$Infer.Session["user"];

export type User = typeof auth.$Infer.Session["user"];

adding this in the auth.ts

Manual User SignUp

I'm only using google for signup . But suddenly my team asked me if we could manually signup user . Is there any way to do that? As google provides several data that are need for the user, account table and other 2 tables.

Get session call failing Safari

Hi, I’ve recently setup better auth with nextjs, using the drizzle adapter and nextCookie plugin. I wrote my own plugin for steam authentication (OpenID 2.0), which seems to be working good. However, one weird bug I’ve seen is that on safari, the get session call made when the user clicks my sites sign in button throws an error with status 0 and status text as an empty string. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks!...
