Monorepo + Hono

@Ping basically i don't want to manually write fetch for all better auth endpoints, would prefer using the auth.api method
any ideas on how to go about this pls
I have a setup with Hono + Better Auth on the backend and Next.js on the frontend.

Backend Better Auth config (running on Hono, port 3000):
This is in my backend folder

/lib/auth.ts

/lib/auth.ts

which i then exported using exports in the package.json and imported in my frontend

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle";
import { db } from "../db";
import * as schema from "../db/schema/auth";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: "pg",
    schema: schema,
  }),
  trustedOrigins: [process.env.CORS_ORIGIN || ""],
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  advanced: {
    defaultCookieAttributes: {
      sameSite: "none",
      secure: true,
      httpOnly: true,
    },
  },
});

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle";
import { db } from "../db";
import * as schema from "../db/schema/auth";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: "pg",
    schema: schema,
  }),
  trustedOrigins: [process.env.CORS_ORIGIN || ""],
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  advanced: {
    defaultCookieAttributes: {
      sameSite: "none",
      secure: true,
      httpOnly: true,
    },
  },
});

On the Next.js frontend (running on port 3001), I’m importing the auth object from the Hono backend to make server-related queries.

Problem:
When I run

const session = await auth.api.getSession({ headers: await headers() });

const session = await auth.api.getSession({ headers: await headers() });

inside a Next.js server component, it always returns null.

But when I use

authClient.useSession

authClient.useSession

on a client component, the session works fine.
IG the first thing to confirm is that is it possible to use the exported auth from the hono app
