Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/219

It is not possible to extract BetterAuthOptions and have additionalFields inferred in the user type.

working:


export const auth = betterAuth({
  user: {
    additionalFields: {
      example: {
        type: "string",
      },
    },
  },
  [... more config]
});

export const getServerAuthSession = () =>
  auth.api.getSession({
    headers: headers(),
  });

type GetServerAuthSessionResult = NonNullable<
  Awaited<ReturnType<typeof getServerAuthSession>>
>;

type _test = Expect<ToHaveKey<GetServerAuthSessionResult["user"], "example">>; // true

In the below example instead, additionalFields are not inferred.


const user:BetterAuthOptions["user"] = {
  additionalFields: {
    example: {
      type: "string",
    },
  },
}

export const auth = betterAuth({
  user: user,
  [... more config]
});

export const getServerAuthSession = () =>
  auth.api.getSession({
    headers: headers(),
  });

type GetServerAuthSessionResult = NonNullable<
  Awaited<ReturnType<typeof getServerAuthSession>>
>;

type _test = Expect<ToHaveKey<GetServerAuthSessionResult["user"], "example">>;  // false

I am using MacOs

project is Nextjs + TRPC + drizzleORM

Also I am running on 0.4.12

@Bekacru commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2024):

typescript will not infer types like that since the default will be casted. If you need to extract the options make sure, to use satisfies instead.

const options = {
   //your config
} satisfies BetterAuthOptions
