SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Implementing secure and robust authentication can be complex, involving various providers (OAuth), database integrations, and advanced security features. This skill provides guidance and scripts for setting up a "Better Auth" system, simplifying the integration of email/password, OAuth providers, and database connections, ensuring secure and scalable user authentication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Email/Password Authentication: Best practices and setup guides for traditional email and password login flows.
  • OAuth Provider Integration: Seamless integration with popular OAuth providers (Google, GitHub, etc.) for social logins.
  • Database Integration: Guidance on connecting and managing user data with various database systems.
  • Advanced Security Features: References for implementing features like multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), and session management.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to add secure user authentication to a new web application, supporting both email/password and Google login. This skill can provide a Python script to initialize the authentication system, along with references on how to integrate with a database and configure OAuth providers, significantly reducing the time and complexity of implementing a robust auth solution.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement secure authentication for a TypeScript web application?

Secure authentication for TypeScript apps involves setting up email/password login, OAuth provider integration, session management, and database connections. Better Auth provides framework-agnostic setup supporting Drizzle, Prisma, Kysely, and MongoDB adapters across popular hosting frameworks, eliminating manual configuration complexity.

Can I add OAuth providers like Google and GitHub to my web app authentication?

Yes. OAuth provider integration is built into the authentication system, enabling seamless social logins from Google, GitHub, and other providers. Configuration is handled through environment-based settings that connect directly to your database adapter.

What database adapters does this authentication system support?

The system supports multiple database adapters including Drizzle, Prisma, Kysely, and MongoDB, allowing you to integrate authentication with your existing database setup without rewriting data models.

How do I set up multi-factor authentication and role-based access control?

Advanced security features including MFA, 2FA, passkeys/WebAuthn, and RBAC are available through the authentication framework. Configuration guidance and references enable implementation across your application's server and client architecture.

Can I use this authentication system with different web frameworks?

Yes. The authentication system is framework-agnostic and supports integration across popular web frameworks through a plugin ecosystem, with hosting framework adapters included for streamlined deployment.

Does this support multi-tenant applications with multiple organizations?

Multi-tenant organization support is included, enabling you to manage multiple organizations and users within a single authentication system with role-based access control and isolated data handling.
