Originally created by @h4kbas on GitHub (Feb 4, 2025).

I am developing a plugin to give access to people with a signature verification muck like the plugin magic link but it also needs to support user creation. I have spend some time to discover other plugins in the repository and collected necessary api code. However, I encountered two problems.

First, I inject another field in the user table and when I use find or create it requires a type T to be given which is impossible to solve because the User returned form the library doesn't have my field and whatever type I tried to provide I had a lot of trouble in typescript.

The other one is I need to create a user with only the field I created because I don't use email password or any other stuff like name. So, when I call the internalApi it is not possible with the types. So, if I use regular create then why am I using the better-auth because I imagine it won't trigger anything related.

Can you please give me examples and explain how to create a plugin which is capable of creating different fields and creating users without email password like fields. I read the docs and code but really it's so limited, I have spent hours.
