Convex Triggers not firing

I'm using the new convex plugin and seem to be struggling to get triggers to fire in the authComponent.

const siteUrl = process.env.SITE_URL;

export const authComponent = createClient<DataModel>(components.betterAuth, {
  triggers: {
    user: {
      onCreate: async (ctx, user) => {
        await ctx.db.insert("profiles", {
          userId: user._id,
          name: user.name,
          email: user.email,
        });
      },
    },
  },
});

export const createAuth = (
  ctx: GenericCtx<DataModel>,
  { optionsOnly } = { optionsOnly: false },
) => {
  return betterAuth({
    logger: {
      disabled: optionsOnly,
    },
    baseURL: siteUrl,
    database: authComponent.adapter(ctx),
    emailAndPassword: {
      enabled: true,
      requireEmailVerification: false,
    },
    plugins: [convex()],
  });
};

export const { onCreate } = authComponent.triggersApi();

const siteUrl = process.env.SITE_URL;

export const authComponent = createClient<DataModel>(components.betterAuth, {
  triggers: {
    user: {
      onCreate: async (ctx, user) => {
        await ctx.db.insert("profiles", {
          userId: user._id,
          name: user.name,
          email: user.email,
        });
      },
    },
  },
});

export const createAuth = (
  ctx: GenericCtx<DataModel>,
  { optionsOnly } = { optionsOnly: false },
) => {
  return betterAuth({
    logger: {
      disabled: optionsOnly,
    },
    baseURL: siteUrl,
    database: authComponent.adapter(ctx),
    emailAndPassword: {
      enabled: true,
      requireEmailVerification: false,
    },
    plugins: [convex()],
  });
};

export const { onCreate } = authComponent.triggersApi();

It seems like despite an account being created, neither of these triggers look like they're firing from what I have been able to tell.

Looks like you need to add the authFunctions param to the createClient settings 🙂

I don't follow?

const authFunctions: AuthFunctions = internal.auth;
export const authComponent = createClient<DataModel>(components.betterAuth, {
  authFunctions,
  triggers: {
    user: {
      onCreate: async (ctx, authUser) => {
        await ctx.db.insert("posts", {
          title: "Hello, world!",
          userId: authUser._id,
        });
      },
      onUpdate: async (ctx, oldUser, newUser) => {
        // Both old and new documents are available
      },
      onDelete: async (ctx, authUser) => {
        // The entire deleted document is available
      },
    },
  },
});
export const { onCreate, onUpdate, onDelete } = authComponent.triggersApi();

const authFunctions: AuthFunctions = internal.auth;
export const authComponent = createClient<DataModel>(components.betterAuth, {
  authFunctions,
  triggers: {
    user: {
      onCreate: async (ctx, authUser) => {
        await ctx.db.insert("posts", {
          title: "Hello, world!",
          userId: authUser._id,
        });
      },
      onUpdate: async (ctx, oldUser, newUser) => {
        // Both old and new documents are available
      },
      onDelete: async (ctx, authUser) => {
        // The entire deleted document is available
      },
    },
  },
});
export const { onCreate, onUpdate, onDelete } = authComponent.triggersApi();

The ‘authFunctions’

Smultar•3w ago

wheres internal coming from?

RynoOP•3w ago

That’s what needed to ensure the triggers work. I think there was some mismatch with types when I was trying so I missed it, but if you first add the exports, then add the auth functions it works Convex generated api Import { internal } from ‘./convex/generated/api’ I believe Sorry on mobile so not positive but should be similar

Smultar•3w ago

Im still new to convex, how did you get foreign keys to work, for like auth.user?

RynoOP•3w ago

That’s what the triggers are for. Essentially giving context to the auth component records So you add a trigger for the table you want to reference basically

Smultar•3w ago

gotcha I've created a new component for my app, where my prefernces live in. I'm trying to reference the better auth userid to the other component. as a foreign key you get any type errors with using the internal.auth?

✖ TypeScript typecheck via `tsc` failed.
To ignore failing typecheck, use `--typecheck=disable`.

@Smultar You need the exports first Then types will work That’s what confused me too

Smultar•3w ago

this one OH i understandn ow

Smultar•3w ago

Are you using local schemas or the other way for your instances of better convex

Local Install | Convex + Better Auth

Own your auth.

Smultar•3w ago

@Ryno

RynoOP•3w ago

The other way. I haven’t tried hosting anything myself

Smultar•3w ago

Local install is mostly using types locally in your app component vs having a separate better with components Not really a physical hosting location @Ryno

RynoOP•3w ago

Yeah, I don’t do anything special. I use the generated types, but not the separate generatable schemas and such I basically just followed the convex + better auth docs

Smultar•3w ago

Same here, but I'm glad you mentioned this fix for the trigger Have you make an issue to the main repo for convex better auth?

RynoOP•3w ago

Nope. I don’t think it is an issue. The exports need to exist for the types to be generated, so it’s working as intended, just a bit odd.
