Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Create auth.ts in your express app

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { prismaAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/prisma";

import prisma from "./prisma.js";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  baseURL: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_URL,
  secret: process.env.BETTER_AUTH_SECRET,
  trustedOrigins: [process.env.ORIGIN_URL as string],
  database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
    provider: "postgresql",
  }),
  socialProviders: {
    google: {
      clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID as string,
      clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET as string,
    },
    github: {
      clientId: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_ID as string,
      clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET as string,
    },
  },
});

Mount auth to all auth routes

import { toNodeHandler } from "better-auth/node";
import { auth } from "./lib/auth.js";

app.all("/api/auth/*", toNodeHandler(auth));

Current vs. Expected behavior

The above code on the backend works perfectly when authenticating using GitHub, However, when I click on the Sign in with Google Button in NextJS. I get the following error in the express app:

ERROR [Better Auth]: ReferenceError ReferenceError: crypto is not defined

When I check the frontend the following POST request fails with a 500 error: 

POST http://localhost:8000/api/auth/sign-in/social?currentURL=http://localhost:3000/auth
