Usage

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { HttpClient } from "@triplit/client"
import { schema } from "./schema"

export const httpClient = new HttpClient({
    schema,
    serverUrl: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_TRIPLIT_DB_URL,
    token: process.env.TRIPLIT_SERVICE_TOKEN
})

// Create a Better Auth instance with Triplit adapter
const auth = betterAuth({
  database: triplitAdapter({
    httpClient,
    debugLogs: false, // Optional: enable for debugging
    usePlural: true,  // Optional: set to false if your schema uses singular names
  }),
  // Other Better Auth options
});

// Now you can use Better Auth as usual
// auth.signIn(...), auth.signUp(...), etc.

Configuration Options

JWT

The JWT is now accessible via useSession. It can be found on data.session.token. Here is an example React hook on how to synchronize your Better Auth state with Triplit. I'll likely make an easy to use hook for this in the future. We default to using your BETTER_AUTH_SECRET from process.env.BETTER_AUTH_SECRET for signing JWT's. You must also configure this on your Triplit server.

import { authClient } from "@/lib/auth-client"
import { triplit } from "@/triplit/client"
import { useEffect } from "react"
import { toast } from "sonner"
import { useSession } from "./auth-hooks"

export function useTriplitAuth() {
    const { data: sessionData, isPending, refetch: refetchSession } = useSession()

    useEffect(() => {
        if (isPending) return

        const startSession = async () => {
            try {
                await triplit.startSession(
                    sessionData?.session.token || process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_TRIPLIT_ANON_TOKEN!
                )
            } catch (error) {
                console.error(error)
                toast.error((error as Error).message)

                if (sessionData) {
                    authClient.signOut().then(() => {
                        refetchSession()
                    })
                }
            }
        }

        startSession()
    }, [isPending, sessionData, refetchSession])
}
