Better auth does not work on NextJS

true, i changed it to be more logical, but the issues still exists

import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";
import { getSessionCookie } from "better-auth/cookies";

export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const cookies = getSessionCookie(request);

  if (!cookies) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/sign-in", request.url));
  }
  return NextResponse.next();
}

export const config = {
  matcher: ["/dashboard"],
};

import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";
import { getSessionCookie } from "better-auth/cookies";

export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const cookies = getSessionCookie(request);

  if (!cookies) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/sign-in", request.url));
  }
  return NextResponse.next();
}

export const config = {
  matcher: ["/dashboard"],
};

Better auth does not work on NextJS

Yes this is my auth config, i also have a auth-client, middleware and a api route for auth. auth.ts:

typescript 
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { nextCookies } from "better-auth/next-js";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  appName: "Better Auth Demo",
  socialProviders: {
    google: {
      clientId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID || "",
      clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET || "",
    },
  },
  plugins: [nextCookies()],
});

typescript 
import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { nextCookies } from "better-auth/next-js";

export const auth = betterAuth({
  appName: "Better Auth Demo",
  socialProviders: {
    google: {
      clientId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID || "",
      clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET || "",
    },
  },
  plugins: [nextCookies()],
});

auth-client.ts:

typescript 
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/react";

import { toast } from "sonner";

export const client = createAuthClient({
  fetchOptions: {
    onError(e) {
      if (e.error.status === 429) {
        toast.error("Too many requests. Please try again later.");
      }
    },
  },
});

export const { signUp, signIn, signOut, useSession } = client;

client.$store.listen("$sessionSignal", async () => {});

typescript 
import { createAuthClient } from "better-auth/react";

import { toast } from "sonner";

export const client = createAuthClient({
  fetchOptions: {
    onError(e) {
      if (e.error.status === 429) {
        toast.error("Too many requests. Please try again later.");
      }
    },
  },
});

export const { signUp, signIn, signOut, useSession } = client;

client.$store.listen("$sessionSignal", async () => {});

Middleware

typescript 
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";
import { getSessionCookie } from "better-auth/cookies";

export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const cookies = getSessionCookie(request);

  if (!cookies) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/", request.url));
  }
  return NextResponse.next();
}

export const config = {
  matcher: ["/"],
};

typescript 
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";
import { getSessionCookie } from "better-auth/cookies";

export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const cookies = getSessionCookie(request);

  if (!cookies) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/", request.url));
  }
  return NextResponse.next();
}

export const config = {
  matcher: ["/"],
};

api/auth/[...all]/route.ts:

typescript 
import { auth } from "@/lib/auth"; // path to your auth file
import { toNextJsHandler } from "better-auth/next-js";

export const { POST, GET } = toNextJsHandler(auth);

typescript 
import { auth } from "@/lib/auth"; // path to your auth file
import { toNextJsHandler } from "better-auth/next-js";

export const { POST, GET } = toNextJsHandler(auth);
