Originally created by @draylegend on GitHub (Dec 13, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/874

Given

nx workspace with Angular, Elysia and tsconfig.base.json in the root of the project.

Issue

Can't generate schema.prisma because of missing tsconfig.json.

Solutions:

  • Add an option like --tsConfig or --ts-config to specify the path to a custom TypeScript config.
    bunx @better-auth/cli generate --config libs/core/api/src/lib/auth.ts --ts-config tsconfig.base.json

  • Alternatively, allow a better-auth.config.ts file in the project root to manage configurations.

    // better-auth.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from '@better-auth/cli';

export default defineConfig({
  config: 'libs/core/api/src/lib/auth.ts', // or even better `@my-company/core/api`. Assuming auth is exported.
  tsConfig: 'tsconfig.base.json',
});

    bunx @better-auth/cli generate would use the config defined above.

Upd. actually it does generate when the auth.ts is provided. Nevertheless it would be great to setup everything related to CLI in the auth-better.config.ts (or similar) file.

I think a config file for betterAuth would be great for real.

I don't need maps for none of the models, so it'd be great to set it in the config to mapModels: false (or similar) as well

we have added a minimal config flags there in cli but for the rest of them it should be intuitive enough to move things around and make it works.
