Better Auth•5d ago

Installation problems

Hi, I'm trying to discover better-auth, so I start installing elysia, prisma and then better-auth, except that by following the doc, the "installation" part, from start to finish, I still can't understand how it works, the route localhost:3000/api/auth doesn't work and tells me NOT_FOUND

Solution:

I think it's normal that /api/auth is not found.. 😅 There is nothing there to do after all...

Hey, did you read Elysia docs as well? Could provide additional info which may have been missed in installation page. https://www.better-auth.com/docs/integrations/elysia

You need to mount the handler.

ɴᴇʟᴇᴏᴋᴏOP•4d ago

import { Elysia, Context } from "elysia";
import {auth} from "./auth";



const betterAuthView = (context: Context) => {
    const BETTER_AUTH_ACCEPT_METHODS = ["POST", "GET"]
    // validate request method
    if(BETTER_AUTH_ACCEPT_METHODS.includes(context.request.method)) {
        return auth.handler(context.request);
    } else {
        context.error(405)
    }
}


const app = new Elysia()

app.mount(auth.handler);

app.all("/api/auth/*", betterAuthView)
app.listen(3000);

console.log(
    `🦊 Elysia is running at ${app.server?.hostname}:${app.server?.port}`
);

import { Elysia, Context } from "elysia";
import {auth} from "./auth";



const betterAuthView = (context: Context) => {
    const BETTER_AUTH_ACCEPT_METHODS = ["POST", "GET"]
    // validate request method
    if(BETTER_AUTH_ACCEPT_METHODS.includes(context.request.method)) {
        return auth.handler(context.request);
    } else {
        context.error(405)
    }
}


const app = new Elysia()

app.mount(auth.handler);

app.all("/api/auth/*", betterAuthView)
app.listen(3000);

console.log(
    `🦊 Elysia is running at ${app.server?.hostname}:${app.server?.port}`
);

Ping•4d ago

What do you mean betterAuthView?

ɴᴇʟᴇᴏᴋᴏOP•4d ago

const betterAuthView = (context: Context) => {
    const BETTER_AUTH_ACCEPT_METHODS = ["POST", "GET"]
    // validate request method
    if(BETTER_AUTH_ACCEPT_METHODS.includes(context.request.method)) {
        return auth.handler(context.request);
    } else {
        context.error(405)
    }
}

const betterAuthView = (context: Context) => {
    const BETTER_AUTH_ACCEPT_METHODS = ["POST", "GET"]
    // validate request method
    if(BETTER_AUTH_ACCEPT_METHODS.includes(context.request.method)) {
        return auth.handler(context.request);
    } else {
        context.error(405)
    }
}

this part cause i got ok on this route http://localhost:3000/api/auth/ok but other route like http://localhost:3000/api/auth/test did nothing

Ping•4d ago

ok is a built in path. test isn't. It's used to test.

ɴᴇʟᴇᴏᴋᴏOP•4d ago

ok, as how i know the route for use betterauth?

Ping•4d ago

You can use the openAPI plugin, which will show you all of the available paths in your setup. Although in most cases you won't be needing to use those paths, as the BetterAuthClient should be handling all of that for you on the front-end.

ɴᴇʟᴇᴏᴋᴏOP•4d ago

i think i need to watch a video for know how to use it

ɴᴇʟᴇᴏᴋᴏOP•4d ago

why i don't have routes?
