@yohangel/auth — rules for AI agents

Purpose

Server-side authentication core built on Better Auth + Drizzle (Postgres): email/password, GitHub/Google OAuth, TOTP 2FA, database-backed rate limiting and CSRF protection. Framework-agnostic: pair it with @yohangel/auth-next, auth-express or auth-nest (server) and @yohangel/auth-react (UI). It does not send emails by itself and has no UI.

Module map

index.ts — public API. Import only from here.
auth.ts — createAuth(opts) (secure defaults), getAuth(), getSession(headers), socialProviders().
schema.ts — Drizzle tables: users, sessions, accounts, verifications, two_factors, rate_limits.
db.ts — setAuthDb(db) / getAuthDb(); defaults to postgres-js from DATABASE_URL.

Integration (do this after installing)

Set env vars (add them to .env.example, never commit real values):
- BETTER_AUTH_SECRET — 32+ random chars (openssl rand -base64 32). Startup throws in production if shorter.
- BETTER_AUTH_URL — public base URL of the server, e.g. https://app.example.com.
- DATABASE_URL — Postgres. If the app already has a Drizzle client, pass it: createAuth({ db }).
- Optional: GITHUB_CLIENT_ID/GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET (a provider is enabled only when both are set; callback URL is <BETTER_AUTH_URL>/api/auth/callback/<provider>), APP_NAME (2FA issuer), AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS (comma-separated extra origins, e.g. a separate SPA), AUTH_IP_HEADER (e.g. cf-connecting-ip behind Cloudflare, so rate limits see the real client IP).
Add the tables to the app's migrations: include src/lib/auth/schema.ts in drizzle.config.ts schema, then npx drizzle-kit generate && npx drizzle-kit migrate.
Wire emails: createAuth({ sendEmail: async ({ kind, to, url, subject, text }) => … }) using the app's mailer. With sendEmail set, email verification is required to sign in and password reset is enabled. Without it, links are printed to the console in development only.
Create the instance through the framework adapter package (it calls createAuth with the right plugins). Use getSession(headers) anywhere else on the server.

Conventions

One instance per app. Extra Better Auth plugins go in createAuth({ plugins: [...] }) — e.g. organization(), admin(), passkey() — then regenerate/extend schema.ts with the tables those plugins document.
Always authorize on the server with getSession(); client-side checks are only for UX.
Prefer overrides only for options not covered here, and keep the security defaults below.

Don't

Don't lower minPasswordLength (12), disable rateLimit in production, or set advanced.disableCSRFCheck / disableOriginCheck to true.
Don't log, return or store passwords, session tokens, OAuth tokens or BETTER_AUTH_SECRET.
Don't add origins to AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS with wildcards you do not control.
Don't read accounts.password or compare passwords yourself; use Better Auth's API.
Don't build redirects from user input without checking they are internal paths.

Docs: the Better Auth MCP server (better-auth) is configured by GenPM; ask it about plugins and options.

# @yohangel/auth — rules for AI agents

## Purpose
Server-side authentication core built on Better Auth + Drizzle (Postgres): email/password, GitHub/Google OAuth, TOTP 2FA, database-backed rate limiting and CSRF protection. Framework-agnostic: pair it with `@yohangel/auth-next`, `auth-express` or `auth-nest` (server) and `@yohangel/auth-react` (UI). It does not send emails by itself and has no UI.

## Module map
- `index.ts` — public API. Import only from here.
- `auth.ts` — `createAuth(opts)` (secure defaults), `getAuth()`, `getSession(headers)`, `socialProviders()`.
- `schema.ts` — Drizzle tables: `users`, `sessions`, `accounts`, `verifications`, `two_factors`, `rate_limits`.
- `db.ts` — `setAuthDb(db)` / `getAuthDb()`; defaults to postgres-js from `DATABASE_URL`.

## Integration (do this after installing)
1. Set env vars (add them to `.env.example`, never commit real values):
   - `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` — 32+ random chars (`openssl rand -base64 32`). Startup throws in production if shorter.
   - `BETTER_AUTH_URL` — public base URL of the server, e.g. `https://app.example.com`.
   - `DATABASE_URL` — Postgres. If the app already has a Drizzle client, pass it: `createAuth({ db })`.
   - Optional: `GITHUB_CLIENT_ID`/`GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET`, `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`/`GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET` (a provider is enabled only when both are set; callback URL is `<BETTER_AUTH_URL>/api/auth/callback/<provider>`), `APP_NAME` (2FA issuer), `AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` (comma-separated extra origins, e.g. a separate SPA), `AUTH_IP_HEADER` (e.g. `cf-connecting-ip` behind Cloudflare, so rate limits see the real client IP).
2. Add the tables to the app's migrations: include `src/lib/auth/schema.ts` in `drizzle.config.ts` `schema`, then `npx drizzle-kit generate && npx drizzle-kit migrate`.
3. Wire emails: `createAuth({ sendEmail: async ({ kind, to, url, subject, text }) => … })` using the app's mailer. With `sendEmail` set, email verification is required to sign in and password reset is enabled. Without it, links are printed to the console in development only.
4. Create the instance through the framework adapter package (it calls `createAuth` with the right plugins). Use `getSession(headers)` anywhere else on the server.

## Conventions
- One instance per app. Extra Better Auth plugins go in `createAuth({ plugins: [...] })` — e.g. `organization()`, `admin()`, `passkey()` — then regenerate/extend `schema.ts` with the tables those plugins document.

- Prefer `overrides` only for options not covered here, and keep the security defaults below.
