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.
