Originally created by @mmikhan on GitHub (Oct 19, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/248

it seems Server action isn't supported yet for auth client (i.e. signIn, signUp, signOut etc). For example, the following code works:

'use client'

<button
  onClick={async () => {
    await signIn.social({
      provider: "google",
      callbackURL: "/",
    });
  }}
>Sign in with Google</button>

But, the same thing in a server action doesn't. No session is being stored in the database. Similarly, await signOut() doesn't as well.

<form
  action={async () => {
    "use server";
    await signIn.social({
      provider: "google",
      callbackURL: "/",
    });
  }}
>
  <button type="submit">Sign in with Google</button>
</form>

!! Here's an example from Auth.js

That's for when handling auth through an API request where you manually handle everything forward, right? But, what I am referring here is through Social login (could be Credentials login as well) and shall work by simply defining await signIn.social() in a server component
