Secure authentication in a TypeScript web application is implemented using a plugin-based framework supporting email/password, OAuth, magic links, and passkeys. It provides flexible configuration for appName, baseURL, and adapters to manage robust identity and access control across multiple environments.

The best way to add OAuth and passkeys to an API project is by integrating a TypeScript-first authentication framework with plugin-based configuration. This allows you to selectively enable providers and manage sessions without rebuilding your core identity logic from scratch.

To set up Better Auth plugins and database adapters for user signups, install the CLI, run the migrate command to apply the schema, generate adapters for your ORM, and then use createAuthClient in your app to wire up the authentication logic.

Yes, you can manage environment-driven configuration for authentication across multiple environments. The framework allows flexible configuration for appName, baseURL, and adapters, making it suitable for web apps, APIs, and services requiring robust identity and access control.

Yes, this authentication framework supports CLI tooling for schema migration and code generation. You can use CLI commands such as migrate to apply the database schema and generate to create adapters for your ORM, streamlining the setup process.
