Better Auth•2w ago

Better-auth not working Vercel deployed project but works well in development?

export const auth = betterAuth({
  basePath: "/api/auth",
  baseURL: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_URL,

  database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
    provider: "postgresql",
  }),

  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
    requireEmailVerification: true,
  },

 // some code
  databaseHooks: {
    user: {
      create: {
        async before(user) {
          // modify user before it  is created for adding our custom id
          const { data: id } = await generateCustomId({ entityTybe: "users" });
          return {
            data: {
              ...user,
              id: id,
            },
          };
        },
      },
    },
  },
  advanced: {
    database: {
      generateId: false,
    },
  },
  session: {
    expiresIn: 60 * 60 * 24 * 30,
  },

  user: {
    additionalFields: {
      banned: {
        type: "boolean",
        input: false,
      },
      role: {
        type: ["admin", "user", "manager"],
        input: true,
      },
      banReason: {
        type: "string",
        input: false,
      },
      banExpires: {
        type: "date",
        input: false,
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    nextCookies(),
    admin({
      ac: accessControl,
      roles: {
        user: userRole,
        admin: adminRole,
        manager: managerRole,
      },
      adminRoles: ["admin", "manager"],
      defaultRole: "user",
      bannedUserMessage:
        "You have been banned to login! please contact Deero Admin Team for support.!!",
    }),
  ],
});

export type ErrorCodes = keyof typeof auth.$ERROR_CODES | "unknown"; and I am using authClient.useSessson to get session of the user.

i think this is the key For server-side session checks (e.g., in a Next.js Server Component or middleware), you should use auth.api.getSession and pass the request headers.

// app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { auth } from "@/lib/auth"; // Assuming your auth instance is exported from here
import { headers } from "next/headers";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({ headers: await headers() });

  if (!session) {
    redirect("/sign-in");
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome {session.user.name}</h1>
    </div>
  );
}

// app/dashboard/page.tsx
import { auth } from "@/lib/auth"; // Assuming your auth instance is exported from here
import { headers } from "next/headers";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({ headers: await headers() });

  if (!session) {
    redirect("/sign-in");
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome {session.user.name}</h1>
    </div>
  );
}
