Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

import { APIError } from "better-auth";

leads to

file:///Users/astahmer/dev/alex/emisoup/packages/backend/src/auth/auth.organization.invitation-only.plugin.ts:2
import { APIError } from "better-auth";
         ^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: The requested module 'better-auth' does not provide an export named 'APIError'
    at ModuleJob._instantiate (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:177:21)
    at async ModuleJob.run (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:260:5)
    at async onImport.tracePromise.__proto__ (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:543:26)
    at async asyncRunEntryPointWithESMLoader (node:internal/modules/run_main:116:5)

can be fixed with import { APIError } from "better-auth/api";

Current vs. Expected behavior

the type probably shouldnt be exported (or the runtime should be?)

I'm guessing this could be an issue for more than APIError, as I noticed this line export * from 'better-call'; in better-auth/dist/index.d.ts

same issue with import { z } from "better-auth"; (TS is fine with this) due to export * from 'zod'; also in better-auth/dist/index.d.ts

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.1.17

Provide environment information

Node.js v22.11.0

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Backend

Auth config (if applicable)

import it from better-auth/error or use throw ctx.error()
