📄 Description

Summary

  • Adds a toPlainRequest helper in toNextJsHandler that re-creates the incoming Request with duplex: 'half'
  • Fixes an issue where Next.js App Router forwards a Request whose ReadableStream body becomes unreadable because the runtime loses the internal "disturbed" flag between layers
  • Without this fix, POST requests with bodies (e.g. sign-in, sign-up) fail silently or throw when better-auth tries to consume the body

Problem

When using toNextJsHandler with Next.js App Router route handlers, the Request object passed by Next.js may have a streaming body that cannot be consumed. This is because Next.js internally forwards the request between layers, and the duplex property is not preserved, causing the body stream to be treated as already consumed.

Solution

Before forwarding the request to the auth handler, wrap it in a new Request constructed with duplex: 'half'. This ensures the body stream is properly initialized and readable. Only requests with bodies (non-GET, non-HEAD) include the body and duplex option.

Test plan

  • Verify POST requests to auth endpoints (sign-in, sign-up, etc.) work correctly in Next.js App Router
  • Verify GET requests continue to work as before
  • Verify no regression in Pages Router usage

Summary by cubic

Fixes unreadable streaming request bodies in Next.js App Router by recreating the Request with duplex: 'half' only when a body is present. Restores POST auth flows (sign-in, sign-up) without affecting GET, HEAD, or Pages Router.

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added toPlainRequest to rebuild the Request with duplex: 'half' so streaming bodies stay readable.
    • Only wraps non-GET/HEAD requests that have a body; preserves method, headers, and body.

Written for commit cf3363c907. Summary will update on new commits.
