Hello there. Ill cut right to the chase,I spent a better part of 2 weeks trying to get better auth to work on sveltekit. \ As such i would like to share that this setup is per the better-auth version below (For transparency):

• version v.1.2.9
• released on June 10 2025

At this point (June 18th 2025) in time the api for sign up and sign in by better auth is a broken for lack of a better word causing the session token to not be set.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

We will be making use of the client methods provided with the method of choice for signing up being email and password

Function list:

• authclient.signup.email
• authclient.signin.email
• authclient.signout.email

Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by sv.
