Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

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

I would like to use the Postgres package like so

import pg from 'postgres'

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: pg,
});

but I cannot, it gives me the following error

ERROR [Better Auth]: NOT_TAGGED_CALL: Query not called as a tagged template literal

is there a work around? I have already laid all the app foundation with that package and do not want to switch to pg

Describe the solution you'd like

to implement functionality for the Postgres package

Describe alternatives you've considered

the pg package does work

Additional context

No response

You can use the kylsey dialect
https://github.com/kysely-org/kysely-postgres-js

export const auth = betterAuth({
    database: { 
        dialect: new PostgresJSDialect({
               postgres: postgres({
              database: 'test',
              host: 'localhost',
              max: 10,
              port: 5434,
              user: 'admin',
          })
      }),
      type: "postgres"
   }
})
