It would be great if better auth could handle both string and int IDs

This should work from v1 (v1.0.6) onward. Make sure to turn off auto-generate IDs in advanced.generateId. Feel free to open a new issue if you're facing problems.

@Bekacru Is there a recommended way to override the types for the user ID? Everywhere I get the session it is typed as string

Is there any update on this? The docs don't explain how to do this other than adding custom fields.

disable auto generated IDs by setting advanced.generteId to false and it should work

@Bekacru do you mean this would enable a different field type (i.e. INT or UUID in place of string , for user id)? Would this custom field extend to plugins etc too?

This works, but the types aren't number, they are string.
