Better Auth Integration Guide

Always consult better-auth.com/docs for code examples and latest API.

Setup Workflow

1. Install: npm install better-auth
2. Set env vars: BETTER_AUTH_SECRET and BETTER_AUTH_URL
3. Create auth.ts with database + config
4. Create route handler for your framework
5. Run migrations:
   • Built-in adapter: npx @better-auth/cli@latest migrate
   • Drizzle: npx @better-auth/cli@latest generate --output src/db/auth-schema.ts then npx drizzle-kit push (dev) or npx drizzle-kit generate && npx drizzle-kit migrate (prod)
   • Prisma: npx @better-auth/cli@latest generate --output prisma/schema.prisma then npx prisma migrate dev
6. Verify: call GET /api/auth/ok — should return { status: "ok" }
