Better Auth Setup and Configuration

Better Auth is configured in the @kit/better-auth package. This guide covers the core configuration and setup.

The main configuration is in:

packages/better-auth/
└── src/
    ├── auth.ts                # Better Auth configuration and instance
    └── plugins/               # Auth plugins (MFA, etc.)

If you plan on updating the Better Auth configuration, add new plugins, etc. this is the correct place where you can do it.

Core Configuration

The core configuration is in the packages/better-auth/src/auth.ts file.

Here, we define:

• Prisma: the database adapter (we use Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL by default)
• Plugins: the plugins we use (MFA, organizations, etc.)
• Emails: the emails sent from events emitted by Better Auth
• Configuration: the default configuration for Better Auth

Database Adapter

We use Prisma to connect to your PostgreSQL database (which you can change to a different database supported by Prisma ORM should you want to).

Please feel free to customize the default configuration to your needs.
