Better Auth with MongoDB and Convex for client data
Hi all. I'm not sure if convex is going to work for my use case. I want to make a chat app with Convex storing only the user data (chats and messages), and Better Auth (my auth lib of choice) using MongoDB for user data. This is because I have a very large template that implements most of Better Auth, with SSR-CSR hybrid, some pages requiring the
auth object that using Convex with Better Auth replaces with createAuth function requiring context. I want to just fucking list the users chats and messages in a reactive way without having to deal with all the fucking WS layer myself, persistence through pages, etc, hence I want to use convex. I need to do auth checks before reading the chats and messages in the convex query/function/whatever, but using NodeJS shit (like TLS, required by MongoDB) in Convex is a no go, so you cannot call auth.api.getSession({headers}). I don't know what to fucking do, this has honestly ruined my day as I was very excited to use Convex but haven't been able to get through this. I haven't ever used Convex, and I would honestly appreciate advice on what the fuck I should do to get this working. I tried to use an action but the issue there is that it's not reactive.
