Thank you for bringing this to our attention! It seems there is an inconsistency in the filename referenced in the Next.js integration documentation. While it states to create a client.ts file, the example provided uses auth-client.ts. This could indeed cause confusion for users following the documentation.

You can submit an issue regarding this documentation inconsistency on GitHub, and it will likely be updated to ensure clarity.

If you'd like, I can help you draft a more detailed report for the GitHub issue, or if you have any other questions about Better Auth or its Next.js integration, feel free to ask! What specific functionalities are you looking to implement with Better Auth?

If you need more help, tag @better-auth-agent in a comment so I can respond.

Hi @CSalih! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

You're right—there's a documentation inconsistency in the Next.js integration guide: the instructions mention creating a client.ts file, but the code example is labeled auth-client.ts. This mismatch is confirmed in the current docs and has been discussed by contributors, but hasn't been fixed yet [source] [source].

For clarity, the documentation should use a single, consistent filename throughout—preferably auth-client.ts, since that's the name used in most examples and discussions. This is a documentation-only issue and doesn't affect integration functionality, but fixing it will help avoid confusion for new users.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
