Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

In the Organization creation endpoint body, slug is required, but it’s optional in the database schema. I’m not sure if this is intentional or something missing.

Since changing either the DB or the API would be a structural change, I opened an issue instead of a PR.

https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/blob/canary/packages/better-auth/src/plugins/organization/schema.ts#L15

Current vs. Expected behavior

The slug requirement in Organization creation and in the database needs to be consistent.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.3.12

System info

MacOS

The requirement for the slug field in the Organization creation API is intentional—it's meant to be a mandatory, unique identifier for organizations. The database schema should also require slug by default. If you're seeing it as optional, it's likely due to the organization plugin not being properly added to your Better Auth configuration. Make sure your config includes the organization plugin in the plugins array, like:

import { organization } from "better-auth/plugins";
export const auth = betterAuth({
  plugins: [organization()],
  emailAndPassword: { enabled: true },
});

The official documentation and tests confirm that slug is required in both the API and the database schema, and that uniqueness is enforced during creation. The plugin allows schema customization, but unless you explicitly change it, slug should be required and consistent across both layers. If your schema still shows slug as optional, double-check your plugin setup and consider regenerating your schema after updating your config. For more details, see the organization plugin docs and related issue.
