The example for the additional "role" field now uses an array instead of a raw string. This comes very handy when one is already using an enum-like DB schema (like `pgEnum`) and Drizzle for better type inference. By the way, I found out that this is allowed by accident from this test, so I am not even sure that this is the intended usage. https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/5287/files#diff-b98623fbecefef5313e8c1fe082f4895ee707cea0183c5cf4f860942cf3d0e3e

About the Project
Better Auth is framework-agnostic authentication (and authorization) library for TypeScript. It provides a comprehensive set of features out of the box and includes a plugin ecosystem that simplifies adding advanced functionalities with minimal code in short amount of time. Whether you need 2FA, multi-tenant support, or other complex features. It lets you focus on building your actual application instead of reinventing the wheel.
Why Better Auth
Authentication in the TypeScript ecosystem is a half-solved problem. Other open-source libraries often require a lot of additional code for anything beyond basic authentication. Rather than just pushing third-party services as the solution, I believe we can do better as a community—hence, Better Auth.
