Replace drizzle-orm with native ObjectQL implementation using better-auth naming conventions by Copilot · Pull Request #582 · objectstack-ai/spec

Copilot · 2026-02-10T05:51:30Z

PR #580 integrated better-auth with drizzle-orm as database adapter. This PR replaces that with native ObjectQL implementation, eliminating the third-party ORM dependency while maintaining better-auth's native naming conventions for seamless migration.

Changes

Auth Object Definitions (src/objects/*.object.ts)

user, session, account, verification defined using ObjectSchema.create()
Uses better-auth's native table names (no auth_ prefix)
Uses better-auth's native field naming (camelCase): emailVerified, createdAt, userId, etc.
Maps directly to better-auth's schema requirements for seamless migration

ObjectQL Adapter (src/objectql-adapter.ts)

Implements better-auth's CustomAdapter interface using ObjectQL's IDataEngine
No name translation needed - uses better-auth's native naming conventions directly
Converts better-auth where clauses to ObjectQL filter format
Sequential updates/deletes due to IDataEngine requiring IDs (noted for future optimization)

Integration

AuthManager accepts dataEngine parameter, automatically injected by kernel's data service
Removed databaseUrl parameter (obsolete with ObjectQL)
Removed drizzle-orm from peerDependencies

Example

// Object definitions use better-auth's native naming
export const AuthUser = ObjectSchema.create({
  name: 'user',  // better-auth native table name
  fields: {
    email: Field.email({ label: 'Email', required: true }),
    emailVerified: Field.boolean({ label: 'Email Verified' }),  // camelCase
    createdAt: Field.datetime({ label: 'Created At' }),  // camelCase
    // ...
  },
  indexes: [{ fields: ['email'], unique: true }]
});

// Adapter bridges better-auth to ObjectQL (no name conversion)
const adapter = createObjectQLAdapter(dataEngine);
const auth = betterAuth({ database: adapter });

Benefits

✅ Seamless Migration: Existing better-auth databases work without schema changes
✅ Driver-agnostic: Works with any ObjectQL driver (memory, SQL, NoSQL) without ORM coupling
✅ Simplified Adapter: No name conversion logic needed
✅ Better-auth Compatibility: Full compatibility with better-auth ecosystem

@copilot 所有的数据库表名和字段名使用better-auth现有的规范，确保现有的客户能无缝迁移

- Changed table names: auth_user → user, auth_session → session, etc. - Changed field names: email_verified → emailVerified, created_at → createdAt, etc. - Removed name conversion logic from adapter (no longer needed) - Updated documentation to reflect better-auth native schema usage - All tests passing (11/11) This ensures existing better-auth databases can migrate without schema changes.

@copilot 所有的数据库表名和字段名使用better-auth现有的规范，确保现有的客户能无缝迁移

已完成。现在使用 better-auth 的原生命名规范：

表名: user, session, account, verification (不再使用 auth_ 前缀)
字段名: emailVerified, createdAt, userId 等 (使用 camelCase，不再使用 snake_case)

适配器已简化，不再需要名称转换逻辑。现有 better-auth 数据库可以无缝迁移到 ObjectQL。

Pull request overview

This PR updates @objectstack/plugin-auth to persist better-auth data via a native ObjectQL IDataEngine adapter, removing the plugin’s direct drizzle-orm dependency and introducing explicit auth object definitions that follow better-auth’s native naming.

Changes:

Added ObjectQL-backed better-auth adapter (createObjectQLAdapter) and wired AuthManager to use it when a dataEngine is provided.
Added Object Protocol object definitions for better-auth tables (user, session, account, verification) and exported them from the plugin.
Updated plugin init/docs/deps to reflect ObjectQL-based persistence and removed drizzle-orm peer dependency.

pnpm-lock.yaml: Language not supported

packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/objectql-adapter.ts

+      } else if (condition.operator === 'lte') {
+        filter[fieldName] = { $lte: condition.value };
+      } else if (condition.operator === 'contains') {
+        filter[fieldName] = { $regex: condition.value };


ObjectQL filter protocol uses string operators like $contains/$startsWith/$endsWith (see packages/spec/src/data/filter.zod.ts), but contains is currently mapped to $regex. Map contains to $contains to stay compatible with ObjectQL drivers that validate against the protocol schema.

Suggested change

filter[fieldName] = { $regex: condition.value };

filter[fieldName] = { $contains: condition.value };

+      const results = await dataEngine.find(objectName, {
+        filter,
+        limit: limit || 100,
+        skip: offset,
+        sort,
+      });


limit: limit || 100 changes semantics for valid falsy values and can introduce an unexpected cap if limit is omitted. Prefer passing limit through as-is (or use nullish coalescing) so caller intent is preserved and it stays consistent with DataEngineQueryOptions.limit being optional.

pnpm-lock.yaml

      better-auth:
        specifier: ^1.4.18
        version: 1.4.18(drizzle-orm@0.41.0(kysely@0.28.11))(next@16.1.6(react-dom@19.2.4(react@19.2.4))(react@19.2.4))(react-dom@19.2.4(react@19.2.4))(react@19.2.4)(vitest@4.0.18(@types/node@25.2.2)(happy-dom@20.5.3)(jiti@2.6.1)(lightningcss@1.30.2)(msw@2.12.9(@types/node@25.2.2)(typescript@5.9.3))(tsx@4.21.0))


The lockfile still resolves better-auth with a drizzle-orm@0.41.0 peer (it appears in the resolved version string). If the goal is to remove the ORM dependency, regenerate pnpm-lock.yaml after removing drizzle-orm so the resolved better-auth snapshot no longer includes it (or ensure the peer isn't auto-installed).

+    // Get data engine service for database operations
+    const dataEngine = ctx.getService<any>('data');
+    if (!dataEngine) {
+      ctx.logger.warn('No data engine service found - auth will use in-memory storage');
+    }
+
+    // Initialize auth manager with data engine
+    this.authManager = new AuthManager({
+      ...this.options,
+      dataEngine,
+    });


This change introduces new behavior (injecting dataEngine and supporting a missing data service) but there are no assertions covering it in the existing plugin test suite. Add tests that verify: (1) init does not throw when data is absent, and (2) when data is present it is passed into AuthManager.

+  /**
+   * Convert better-auth where clause to ObjectQL query format
+   */
+  function convertWhere(where: CleanedWhere[]): Record<string, any> {
+    const filter: Record<string, any> = {};
+
+    for (const condition of where) {
+      // Use field names as-is (no conversion needed)
+      const fieldName = condition.field;
+
+      if (condition.operator === 'eq') {
+        filter[fieldName] = condition.value;
+      } else if (condition.operator === 'ne') {
+        filter[fieldName] = { $ne: condition.value };
+      } else if (condition.operator === 'in') {
+        filter[fieldName] = { $in: condition.value };
+      } else if (condition.operator === 'gt') {
+        filter[fieldName] = { $gt: condition.value };
+      } else if (condition.operator === 'gte') {
+        filter[fieldName] = { $gte: condition.value };
+      } else if (condition.operator === 'lt') {
+        filter[fieldName] = { $lt: condition.value };
+      } else if (condition.operator === 'lte') {
+        filter[fieldName] = { $lte: condition.value };

+        filter[fieldName] = { $regex: condition.value };
+      }
+    }
+
+    return filter;
+  }


The adapter’s where-clause translation is core to correctness (operator mapping, multi-condition merging, limit/offset/sort), but there are no unit tests covering these cases. Add focused tests for convertWhere() and for each adapter method’s call into IDataEngine to prevent silent query regressions.

-    // Initialize auth manager
-    this.authManager = new AuthManager(this.options);
+    // Get data engine service for database operations
+    const dataEngine = ctx.getService<any>('data');


ctx.getService('data') throws when the service is not registered (KernelBase.getService throws on missing services), so this init path will crash instead of falling back to in-memory as the log message suggests. Wrap the lookup in try/catch (or use a non-throwing service existence check) and only warn when the service is absent.

Suggested change

const dataEngine = ctx.getService<any>('data');

let dataEngine: any | undefined;

try {

dataEngine = ctx.getService<any>('data');

} catch {

ctx.logger.warn('No data engine service found - auth will use in-memory storage');

}

+      }
+    }

When multiple where conditions target the same field (e.g. gte + lte), this loop overwrites filter[fieldName] and drops earlier operators. Accumulate operators into a single object per field (or build a top-level $and) so all conditions are preserved.

Suggested change

// Use field names as-is (no conversion needed)

const fieldName = condition.field;

filter[fieldName] = condition.value;

} else if (condition.operator === 'lt') {

filter[fieldName] = { $lt: condition.value };

} else if (condition.operator === 'lte') {

filter[fieldName] = { $lte: condition.value };

} else if (condition.operator === 'contains') {

filter[fieldName] = { $regex: condition.value };

}

}

for (const condition of where) {

// Use field names as-is (no conversion needed)

const fieldName = condition.field;

// Map better-auth operators to ObjectQL/Mongo-style operator keys

let operatorKey: string | null = null;

switch (condition.operator) {

case 'eq':

operatorKey = '$eq';

break;

case 'ne':

operatorKey = '$ne';

break;

case 'in':

operatorKey = '$in';

}

if (!operatorKey) {

continue;

}

const existing = filter[fieldName];

// If there is no existing filter for this field, keep behavior for first eq,

// otherwise start an operator object.

if (existing === undefined) {

if (operatorKey === '$eq') {

// Preserve simple equality as a primitive value when it's the only condition

filter[fieldName] = condition.value;

} else {

filter[fieldName] = { [operatorKey]: condition.value };

}

continue;

}

// There is already a filter for this field: merge the new operator.

if (existing !== null && typeof existing === 'object') {

// Existing is already an operator object; just add/overwrite this operator.
