Better Auth•4w ago

Custom Plugin is not type safe.

I added the cart plugin as a client to my better auth instance, but when I try to access apiClient.cart.someMethod my IDE thinks it doesn't exist, but the method works on dev/prod instance. how can I let the IDE auto complete these types?

Don't cast BetterAuthPlugin, use satisfies instead

ahh :PES_ThumbsUp: alright, do you have any article on why we need to do that? interested to learn about this it would be nice to have a warning in the docs, saying if you don't use satisfies typesafety won't work
