Hi, I like the framework and want to use it my project. I have skimmed the docs, and found that all the examples are using new Next.js app router. I wanted to know if the pages router supported, or can be used (integrated) with the one, or there are some incompatibilities and restrictions?

Since next page routers is express compatible, you can use the node adapter. So It should be supported!

Oh, I missed that the framework also supports node/express. Thank you, for your clarification and reply! I will look into it.

Hello! I think I might be missing something here. I ran into this issue:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module .../node_modules/nanostores/index.js from .../node_modules/better-auth/dist/react.cjs not supported.

I tried adding in the Node Adapter as mentioned earlier to src/pages/api/auth/route.ts

import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next"
import { toNodeHandler } from "better-auth/node"
import { auth } from "@/lib/auth"

export default async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
    await toNodeHandler(auth)(req, res)
}

however, this has not fixed the issue. would appreciate any pointers on how to fix this, thanks!

Hi, I have not met this issue. Maybe something is wrong with your import/export settings.

Basically I have tried this

file path: /api/auth/[...all].js

import { toNodeHandler } from "better-auth/node";
import { auth } from "../../../utils/better-auth";

export const config = {
    api: {
        bodyParser: false,
    },
};

const authHandler = toNodeHandler(auth);

export default authHandler;

And it worked fine
