Encountering Error in Turbo Repo Project – Need Help Resolving It

Solution

This is a known issue (see better-auth issue #1391)

Your choices (if you don't want to tweak your tsconfig or wait until this is fixed upstream) are usually to install the inner types in the consuming package, or export your own types from your internal package and re-use it in the consumer.
Neither are ideal, but I went with the second. For example,

In my

@repo/auth

@repo/auth

package, I export the

Auth Client

Auth Client

type:

- https://github.com/nktnet1/rt-stack/blob/c9e2c654d5014389c82ed07b34b7dc316452f331/packages/auth/src/client.ts#L7

The type is then explicitly set when instantiating the auth client in my

web

web

application:

- https://github.com/nktnet1/rt-stack/blob/c9e2c654d5014389c82ed07b34b7dc316452f331/apps/web/src/clients/authClient.ts#L4

This is not unique to better-auth - for example, next-auth has a similar thread, with a workaround:

- https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth/discussions/9950#discussioncomment-9135791

whereby you tweak the

tsconfig.json

tsconfig.json

compilerOptions -> declaration:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "declaration": false,
  }
}

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "declaration": false,
  }
}

although I would personally advise against this (see the linked thread for details).
