Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

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

Currently, onAPIError supports a string property called errorURL.

The path is returned when receiving an error in the authentication, and automatically appends some search parameters like error and error_description.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful to support both string option as well as a customizable callback:

// errorURL: "/error", // <--- current usage
errorURL: ({ error, error_description }) => {
    if (error === "access_denied") 
        return "/denied";
    else 
        return "/error";
}

Describe alternatives you've considered

redirecting in another page/route based on the error query param, but it's not optimal

Additional context

No response

You should move forward by adjusting the error handling so that the onAPIError.errorURL option accepts either a string or a function returning the redirect URL. In your PR you’ll need to update the type definitions and modify the OAuth and API error handlers to check if errorURL is a function—if so, invoke it with the error details before appending the standard query parameters—and fall back to the default string if not provided [1][2]. Also, please add tests for scenarios covering both static and dynamic error redirection, and update the documentation with usage examples. Let us know if you run into any issues during implementation.

Hi, @CarrettaRiccardo. 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 enhancing the onAPIError feature to allow the errorURL option to accept a callback function for dynamic error URL determination.
  • GautamBytes is actively working on this enhancement and plans to submit a PR soon.
  • The maintainer advised updating type definitions, error handlers, tests, and documentation to support both string and function forms of errorURL.
  • I have offered guidance and resources to assist with the implementation.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of better-auth by commenting here to keep the discussion open.
  • Otherwise, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
