Stability of adapter

[kamellperry]

Is this adapter stable? Has it been holding up in your production use cases?

If it is, thank you very much because I've been looking for something like this!

If it's not, I'd love to hear what issues you're having so I can help you fix them and send in a PR.

Hi. Thanks for reaching me out, that is a good question.

The public API is pretty much stable and there're no changes I can think of that may introduce incompatibilities with previous version of the adapter's API. The adapter itself still have limitations, partly because of better-auth limitations (see below), and I haven't implemented support for embedded references, because I have never used them in Mikro ORM before, and I would be appreciated if anyone who uses them will open a PR to implement them, because the driver may not for for these people at the moment (I'll just throw an error if it encounters unsupported reference kind, see:

better-auth-mikro-orm/src/utils/adapterUtils.ts

Lines 155 to 157 in 4a836ae

	createAdapterError(
	`Reference kind ${prop.kind} is not supported. Defined in "${entityName}" entity for "${prop.name}" field.`
	)

).

I'm also working on #9 to use better-auth own utilities for custom adapters, and to run my driver agains official test suite. This shouldn't however introduce any breaking change.

Also, I do have at least one issue on better-auth side I can think of: they don't support joins (yet? hopefully). See: better-auth/better-auth#1298
Because of this limitation I cannot properly support schema interoperability between Mikro ORM and Better Auth, and implement things like migrations or automatic schema and models generation.

So, the public API is stable, and there are some behavior issues that should not introduce breaking changes after they're resolved. Unless Better Auth itself breaks something. I think it safe to give this driver a try, it is pretty much stable, but I'm not gonna release 1.x unless I'm 100% satisfied with what I got from my project.

Hello! Has this been used in a production environment yet?

Haven't had a chance to use my own driver in production (I usually work with different ORMs, like Prisma), but I use it in one of my side projects
