`useNumberId` is set, but `id` is still a string?

Hey,

I'm using

useNumberId: true

useNumberId: true

in my

betterAuth

betterAuth

config (with an SQLite database), but I'm still seeing that the user

id

id

is a string in my auth middleware. Did I miss something ? Thanks in advance :).

export const auth = betterAuth({
  ...
  advanced: {
    database: {
      useNumberId: true,
    },
  },
  ...
}

export const auth = betterAuth({
  ...
  advanced: {
    database: {
      useNumberId: true,
    },
  },
  ...
}

export const authMiddleware = createMiddleware({ type: "function" }).server(async ({ next }) => {
    const { headers } = getWebRequest();
    const session = await auth.api.getSession({ headers, query: { disableCookieCache: true } });

    if (!session) {
        throw redirect({ to: "/", search: { authExpired: true }, statusCode: 401 });
    }

    return next({ context: { currentUser: session.user } });
});

user: {
    id: string
    ....
}

export const authMiddleware = createMiddleware({ type: "function" }).server(async ({ next }) => {
    const { headers } = getWebRequest();
    const session = await auth.api.getSession({ headers, query: { disableCookieCache: true } });

    if (!session) {
        throw redirect({ to: "/", search: { authExpired: true }, statusCode: 401 });
    }

    return next({ context: { currentUser: session.user } });
});

user: {
    id: string
    ....
}

Solution

In order for existing plugins and libraries that work around Better-auth to continue to function, the

id

id

value has to remain a string.
Our adapter system will automatically convert the id from string to int and vice versa when interacting with DB.
