@erquhart any idea how I can use

@erquhart any idea how I can use setUserPassword from better-auth admin?

16 Replies

looking at this Are you sure you added the admin plugin to your createAuth?

@erquhart yessir I am able to use it, but the types don't seem to be implemented

I'm running one of the examples with the admin plugin and the types are inferred correctly, eg., setUserPassword is there

What's wrong with mine then lol @erquhart

Hard to say, can you share the top of the file with imports and your file that defines createAuth?

Your return type is wiping out type inference

ColeOP•4w ago

that'll do it If i don't have that typescript freaks out at me

pnpm is not happy

ColeOP•4w ago

I probably have something seriously wrong with my typescript config / monorepo setup

erquhart•4w ago

maybe try deleting lockfile and node modules and reinstalling

ColeOP•4w ago

will give that a shot no luck...
