Unable to set user ID using databaseHooks

Hey guys, I'm trying to set the user id using databaseHooks: 
databaseHooks: {
  user: {
    create: {
      before: async (user, ctx) => {
        return {
          data: {
            user: {
              ...user,
              id: "123",
            },
          },
        };
      },
    },
  },
}
databaseHooks: {
  user: {
    create: {
      before: async (user, ctx) => {
        return {
          data: {
            user: {
              ...user,
              id: "123",
            },
          },
        };
      },
    },
  },
}
but it just keeps getting overridden. Is there a way to do this?

you can set generateId:false but we probably should allow this

not sure how many people are using non-standard primary keys but yeah i think it would be super useful by the way, would you find any value in a native swift ui package for betterauth? I'm not sure if it's necessary (haven't gotten around to trying to integrate my swift app with betterauth yet), but if a native solution would be clearly useful let me know, i might be able to dedicate some time to building one

Did you find this page helpful?
