📄 Description

Created four detailed guides to help understand better-auth patterns and apply them to building a payment gateway abstraction library:

  • LEARNING_GUIDE.md: 17-file study roadmap organized in 5 phases
  • OAUTH_TO_PAYMENT_MAPPING.md: Mental model showing OAuth-to-Payment parallels
  • QUICK_START_IMPLEMENTATION.md: Complete implementation guide with code
  • STUDY_CHECKLIST.md: Interactive checklist to track learning progress

These guides show how to learn from better-auth's provider abstraction, plugin system, and configuration patterns to build a "better-payments" library that makes integrating Stripe, Flutterwave, PayStack, and other payment gateways as simple as better-auth makes OAuth providers.


Summary by cubic

Adds four guides that teach and accelerate building a payment gateway abstraction modeled on better-auth. Improves onboarding with a phased study path, concept mapping, a code-first quick start, and a progress checklist.

  • New Features
    • LEARNING_GUIDE.md: 5-phase roadmap covering 17 key better-auth files.
    • OAUTH_TO_PAYMENT_MAPPING.md: Clear OAuth-to-payment parallels and interface comparisons.
    • QUICK_START_IMPLEMENTATION.md: End-to-end implementation guide with provider interfaces, Stripe/Flutterwave examples, factory, and webhook handler.
    • STUDY_CHECKLIST.md: Interactive checklist with exercises to track progress.

Written for commit e49fc2b9fc. Summary will update automatically on new commits.
