Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

I need to access user object, in the magic link method I can get it from ctx.context.newSession, but in /sign-in/social (in my case sign in by Google) the newSession is null.

I'm trying to check documention already but there is no mention of other place than newSession.

Current vs. Expected behavior

I don't know if this is intentional or bug. But

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.3

Provide environment information

- better-auth 1.2.3
- Nextjs 15

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Backend

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
export const auth = betterAuth({
 database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
    provider: 'postgresql',
  }),
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  socialProviders: {
    google: {
      clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID!,
      clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET!,
    },
  },
hooks: {
    after: createAuthMiddleware(async (ctx) => {
      if (ctx.path.startsWith('/sign-in/social')) {
        const newSession = ctx.context.newSession; <-- null here
...
