SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Modern TypeScript applications require secure, scalable authentication, and implementing it manually leads to security risks and maintenance burden.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TypeScript-first authentication with email/password, OAuth, magic links, and passkeys.
  • Plugin ecosystem for extensibility, adapters, and custom flows across frameworks.
  • Config-driven security with environment variables, adapter support, and session management for robust deployments.
  • Use Case: Build a multi-tenant web app with secure sign-in, social login, and passwordless options while keeping business logic clean.

Quick Start

  • Run: npx @better-auth/cli@latest migrate to apply schema to your database.
  • Generate schemas: npx @better-auth/cli@latest generate
  • Start integrating in your app by importing client and wiring adapters per your framework.

What is the best way to manage sessions in a TypeScript web app?

Session management in a TypeScript web app is handled through config-driven security using adapters and environment variables. This Skill automates robust session strategies to ensure scalable and secure deployments.

Does better-auth work with passwordless authentication flows?

Passwordless authentication flows are fully supported through magic links and passkeys. This Skill automates these custom flows using its plugin ecosystem, enabling secure sign-in without manual password management.

Can I use environment variables to configure authentication adapters?

Configuring authentication adapters with environment variables is supported through config-driven security. This Skill enforces environment-based configuration to manage adapters, storage strategies, and plugin pipelines securely.

How do I apply database schemas for TypeScript authentication?

Applying database schemas for TypeScript authentication requires running npx @better-auth/cli@latest migrate. This Skill automates schema generation and migration to prepare your database for secure user authentication integration.

Why does manual authentication implementation create security risks?

Manual authentication implementation creates security risks due to the maintenance burden of scalable login flows. This Skill solves that by automating TypeScript-first authentication with config-driven security, adapters, and session management.
