Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Configure Better Auth with a secondary storage implementation, such as Redis:​ https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/database#secondary-storage
  2. Authenticate a user to create a session
  3. Retrieve the session object.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Expected Behavior: The session object should include the id field, as specified in the docs https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/database#session.​

Current Behavior: The id property is missing from the session object when secondary storage is used.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.4 and 1.2.5-beta.10

Provide environment information

- OS: Ubuntu
- Browsers: Chrome and Firefox
- Node.js: v22.14.0

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

import { betterAuth } from 'better-auth';
import { drizzleAdapter } from 'better-auth/adapters/drizzle';
import { admin, multiSession, organization } from 'better-auth/plugins';
import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/better-sqlite3';

export const auth = betterAuth({
  account: {
    accountLinking: {
      enabled: true,
    },

      clientSecret: env.GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET,
    },
  },
  secondaryStorage: {
    get: async (key) =>
        await env.BETTER_AUTH_SECONDARY_STORAGE.get(key, { type: 'text' }),
    set: async (key, value, ttl) =>
        await env.BETTER_AUTH_SECONDARY_STORAGE.put(key, value, {
          expirationTtl: ttl,
        }),

Settings storeSessionInDatabase: true worked for me

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
export const auth = betterAuth({
	session: {
		modelName: "sessions",
		fields: {
			userId: "user_id"
		},
		expiresIn: 604800, // 7 days
		updateAge: 86400, // 1 day
		disableSessionRefresh: true, // Disable session refresh so that the session is not updated regardless of the `updateAge` option. (default: `false`)
		additionalFields: { // Additional fields for the session table
			customField: {
				type: "string",
				nullable: true
			}
		},
		storeSessionInDatabase: true, // Store session in database when secondary storage is provided (default: `false`)
		preserveSessionInDatabase: false, // Preserve session records in database when deleted from secondary storage (default: `false`)
		cookieCache: {
			enabled: true, // Enable caching session in cookie (default: `false`)	
			maxAge: 300 // 5 minutes
		}
