Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

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

Currently if I'm making an extension, my type options (from "Fields" in https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/plugins) are string, number, boolean, or date.

If I choose number, like so:

export const somePlugin = () => {
  return {
    id: "some-plugin",
    schema: {
      user: {
        fields: {
          someFloatField: {
            type: "number",
            required: false,
          },...

The generated schema (at least with drizzle) from @better-auth/cli will use integer from "drizzle-orm/pg-core" (and never real or decimal.

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe either a more specific type field, or some other easy way to specify that I want a float.

In any case, I'd like a way to have real (or decimal) be imported from "drizzle-orm/pg-core".

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually editing the generated schema

Additional context

Thanks for the project!

Hi, @colmanhumphrey. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the better-auth team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • You reported an issue with the Better Auth framework plugin.
  • Specifying a field type as "number" results in an integer type being generated.
  • You requested a solution to specify float types directly to avoid manual schema edits.
  • There have been no comments or activity on this issue yet.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of the better-auth repository by commenting here.
  • If there is no further activity, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!

Yes, this is still an issue, as the docs show, there still aren't any types for floats or decimals: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/plugins.

Hi, @colmanhumphrey. 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 support for floating-point types (real or decimal) in plugin schemas.
  • Currently, the "number" type only generates integer fields with drizzle-orm.
  • You confirmed the issue persists and noted the documentation still lacks float or decimal types.
  • No further updates or progress have been made on this issue recently.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of better-auth by commenting here.
  • If I don’t hear back within 7 days, this issue will be automatically closed.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!

  • I have asked Bekacru to review and assist with this issue.
  • No progress or fixes have been reported so far.
