Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Returning redirect: true and a URL in a fetch-response from the server, will make the browser redirect to the given url. This redirection will always happen in the current tab.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want the ability to return a target property with the fetch redirect-response payload, which specifies how the redirection should happen - in the current tab, or another tab, etc.

target: '_blank' would for example open the url in a new tab.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The proposal above is the only feasible option.

Additional context

No response

Hi, @emilwidlund. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the better-auth team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • You requested an enhancement to the fetch-plugin to support a target property in redirect responses.
  • The goal is to allow redirects to open in a new tab (e.g., target: '_blank') instead of always opening in the current tab.
  • This would enable more flexible redirection behavior controlled by the server's response.
  • There has been no further discussion or activity on this issue since it was opened.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this feature is still relevant to the latest version of better-auth by commenting on this issue.
  • If I do not hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
