create organization in databaseHooks.user.create.after

I want to ensure that for all created users without an invite link, an organization (using the organization plugin) is created for them automatically on sign up. Ideally also set this freshly created organization as their active organization on the client. Is there a way to create an organization for a user that has just been created? I was thinking of using this database hook:

const auth = betterAuth({
  database: mongodbAdapter(client.db()),
  plugins: [
    organization({ allowUserToCreateOrganization: false })
  ],
  databaseHooks: {
    user: {
      create: {
        after: async (user) => {
          // create organization for user - can't access the server auth api, can I?
        }
      }
    }
  },
  // ...
})

const auth = betterAuth({
  database: mongodbAdapter(client.db()),
  plugins: [
    organization({ allowUserToCreateOrganization: false })
  ],
  databaseHooks: {
    user: {
      create: {
        after: async (user) => {
          // create organization for user - can't access the server auth api, can I?
        }
      }
    }
  },
  // ...
})

Any workarounds or solutions for this? Thank you!

That sounds doable! Maybe try taking the path from the context as it'll be different from users that accept an invite. As for the hook, just create a function in a lib file?

after: async (user, ctx) => {
          if (ctx?.path.startsWith("/verify-email")) {
// whatever path this actually is
            await createNewOrg(user)
// create the account and set as active in here?
          }
        }

after: async (user, ctx) => {
          if (ctx?.path.startsWith("/verify-email")) {
// whatever path this actually is
            await createNewOrg(user)
// create the account and set as active in here?
          }
        }

Hoping I haven't missed the mark here haha

Thank you for the replies! I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but since the hook si defined inside the auth instantiation options, I cannot call auth.api.createOrganization from within, can I?

const auth = betterAuth({
  // ...
  databaseHooks: {
    user: {
      create: {
        after: async (user) => {
          auth.api.createOrganization({ ... })
       // ^^^^ 
        }
      }
    }
  },
  // ...
})

const auth = betterAuth({
  // ...
  databaseHooks: {
    user: {
      create: {
        after: async (user) => {
          auth.api.createOrganization({ ... })
       // ^^^^ 
        }
      }
    }
  },
  // ...
})
