Better Auth Skill

Better Auth is comprehensive, framework-agnostic authentication/authorization framework for TypeScript with built-in email/password, social OAuth, and powerful plugin ecosystem for advanced features.

When to Use

  • Implementing auth in TypeScript/JavaScript applications
  • Adding email/password or social OAuth authentication
  • Setting up 2FA, passkeys, magic links, advanced auth features
  • Building multi-tenant apps with organization support
  • Managing sessions and user lifecycle
  • Working with any framework (Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix, Astro, Hono, Express, etc.)

Quick Start

Installation

npm install better-auth
# or pnpm/yarn/bun add better-auth

Environment Setup

Create .env:

BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=<generated-secret-32-chars-min>
BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000

Basic Server Setup

Create auth.ts (root, lib/, utils/, or under src/app/server/):

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: {
    // See references/database-integration.md
  },
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
    autoSignIn: true
  },
  socialProviders: {
    github: {
      clientId: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_ID!,
      clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET!,
    }
  }
});

Database Schema

npx @better-auth/cli generate  # Generate schema/migrations
npx @better-auth/cli migrate   # Apply migrations (Kysely only)

Mount API Handler

Next.js App Router:

// app/api/auth/[...all]/route.ts
import { auth } from "@/lib/auth";
import { toNextJsHandler } from "better-auth/next-js";

export const { POST, GET } = toNextJsHandler(auth);

Other frameworks: See references/email-password-auth.md#framework-setup

Client Setup

Create auth-client.ts:

import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/client";

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
  baseURL: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BETTER_AUTH_URL || "http://localhost:3000"
});

Basic Usage

// Sign up
await authClient.signUp.email({
  email: "user@example.com",
  password: "secure123",
  name: "John Doe"
});

// Sign in
await authClient.signIn.email({
  email: "user@example.com",
  password: "secure123"
});

// OAuth
await authClient.signIn.social({ provider: "github" });

// Session
const { data: session } = authClient.useSession(); // React/Vue/Svelte
const { data: session } = await authClient.getSession(); // Vanilla JS

Auth Method Selection Guide

Choose Email/Password when:

  • Building standard web app with traditional auth
  • Need full control over user credentials
  • Targeting users who prefer email-based accounts

Choose OAuth when:

  • Want quick signup with minimal friction
  • Users already have social accounts
  • Need access to social profile data

Choose Passkeys when:

  • Want passwordless experience
  • Targeting modern browsers/devices
  • Security is top priority

Choose Magic Link when:

  • Want passwordless without WebAuthn complexity
  • Targeting email-first users
  • Need temporary access links

Combine Multiple Methods when:

  • Want flexibility for different user preferences
  • Building enterprise apps with various auth requirements
  • Need progressive enhancement (start simple, add more options)

Core Architecture

Better Auth uses client-server architecture:

  1. Server (better-auth): Handles auth logic, database ops, API routes
  2. Client (better-auth/client): Provides hooks/methods for frontend
  3. Plugins: Extend both server/client functionality

Implementation Checklist

  • [ ] Install better-auth package
  • [ ] Set environment variables (SECRET, URL)
  • [ ] Create auth server instance with database config
  • [ ] Run schema migration (npx @better-auth/cli generate)
  • [ ] Mount API handler in framework
  • [ ] Create client instance
  • [ ] Implement sign-up/sign-in UI
  • [ ] Add session management to components
  • [ ] Set up protected routes/middleware
  • [ ] Add plugins as needed (regenerate schema after)
  • [ ] Test complete auth flow
  • [ ] Configure email sending (verification/reset)
  • [ ] Enable rate limiting for production
  • [ ] Set up error handling
