Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Hello, I'm not able to get the IP address of the user when I sign him/her up.

  1. I'm using better-auth with Next.js.
  2. I followed the installation and configuration steps from better-auth documentation
  3. I have the plugin nextCookies() enabled
  4. Here's my call
const { token, user } = await auth.api.signUpEmail({
    body: {
      name,
      email,
      password,
    },
    headers: await headers(),
  });
  1. Locally or in Vercel, the IP address is not register neither the user-agent

Current vs. Expected behavior

I'm expecting the fields ip_address and user_agent to be filled with the right value

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.5

Provide environment information

- OS : ["macOS", "Vercel"]
- Browsers : ["Edge"]

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

Backend

Auth config (if applicable)

import { db } from "@/db";
import { account, session, user, verification } from "@/db/schema/auth";
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { drizzleAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/drizzle";
import { nextCookies } from "better-auth/next-js";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: "pg",
    schema: {
      user,
      session,
      account,
      verification,
    },
  }),
  plugins: [
    nextCookies(), // should be the last plugin in the array. It makes Set-Cookie work in Next.js
  ],
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  advanced: {
    ipAddress: {
      ipAddressHeaders: [
        "x-forwarded-for",
        "x-vercel-forwarded-for",
        "x-real-ip",
      ],
      disableIpTracking: false,
    },
  },
});

The reason the ip address is not storing is because on localhost we got an ip something like this ::1 and better-auth is not storing it, so we have to add a condition like this

            const ip = header_res.get('x-forwarded-for')!;

            const _response = await auth.api.signInEmail({
                body: {
                    email,
                    password,
                },

                headers: new Headers({
                    'x-forwarded-for': ip === '::1' ? '127.0.0.1' : ip,
                }),
            });
