Have you had a chance to explore `better

Update on my end: I have Better Auth's Email OTP plugin working, to create a user, create a session, and delete a session on logout. (Better Auth's OAuth still encounters runtime errors, so I'll just hide that option on my login page for now.) Remaining to sort out: 1.) protecting private routes--i.e. to redirect to /login if unauthenticated, 2.) writing a helper to require authentication for certain Convex mutations & queries, 3.) making user object available to all routes. Do y'all have more clarity now on if a deeper integration between Convex & Better Auth is required? Asking b/c if so, that'd help me know to just pause my attempts for now.

Just noticed I have no better auth tables in Convex either. I might be messing this up, but I assume the tables are created after running npx convex dev --once as long as convex/betterAuth.ts exists.

Have you had a chance to explore `better

Update: I got past the first build error: 1. Ping pushed an update to address it, so use this version or newer "@better-auth-kit/convex": "^1.1.4", 2. And I also needed to update my convex/tsconfig.json from "moduleResolution": "Bundler", to "moduleResolution": "bundler",. I don't recall setting this, so a default might need to be updated in Convex's code generation b/c TypeScript indicates that only lowercase is valid. Progress! Now the runtime error listed as #2 in my previous post still occurs trying to use the Github OAuth method to sign in. So, that's the next hurdle.

1. First issue was getting it to build. I created an issue for @Ping 's repo for that: https://github.com/ping-maxwell/better-auth-kit/issues/5 Editing the built files in node_modules just to keep going with this, so they used .js extensions on imports, allowed the project to build without errors. 2. Now, getting a runtime error when trying to use better auth's authClient to sign in with Github OAuth, and it's like my Convex URL cannot be found anymore, but I've had Convex working on this project prior to better auth

Error importing route file: Error: Client created with undefined deployment address. If you used an environment variable, check that it's set.

I installed Convex on 2 apps today: 1.)

Thanks. 1.) I understand, just sharing where, I as a new user, got a little confused with the instructions ambiguity about where to save the file b/c if instructions said in the SvelteKit project root that'd remove the ambiguity. 2.) Makes sense on the peer deps. Having designed DX focused stuff and noticing Convex seems to care a lot about it too, just noting the inconsistency I found. Inverting the suggestion and extract all client libs into their own deps with similar naming would achieve consistency too convex-svelte, convex-react, etc. Just my unsolicited 2c. I try to share feedback when learning a new product with fresh eyes. Works either way 👍

1. Step 3 of the SvelteKit Quickstart does not say where to save the convex.json file--in src, in convex, my monorepo root, or the SvelteKit root? Mentioning "...in the SvelteKit project root" would clarify this. https://docs.convex.dev/database/writing-data 2. The React client lib is available via convex/react, but Svelte is available convex-svelte. Possible to just make it available at convex/svelte too? Less guessing and more of "that just makes sense". 2. Similarly, React has useQuery and useMutation--beautiful. But Svelte has:

import { useConvexClient, useQuery } from "convex-svelte";
const getTasks = useQuery(api.tasks.get, {});
const client = useConvexClient();
client.mutation(api.tasks.createTask, { text: "Hello, world!" });

import { useConvexClient, useQuery } from "convex-svelte";
const getTasks = useQuery(api.tasks.get, {});
const client = useConvexClient();
client.mutation(api.tasks.createTask, { text: "Hello, world!" });

If it were refactored to mirror convext/react's, it'd be more intuitive. 4. The example mutation in the convex-svelte README is broken b/c it's missing proper imports. I submitted an issue. https://github.com/get-convex/convex-svelte Thanks for including Svelte in the docs!
