npm i better-auth-harmony

// ... other config options
plugins: [emailHarmony()]

npx @better-auth/cli migrate

See the Schema section to add the fields manually.
allowNormalizedSignin
(default=false) - Allow logging in with any version of the unnormalized email address. For example, a user who signed up with the emailjohndoe@googlemail.com
may also log in withjohn.doe@gmail.com
. Makes 1 extra database query for every login attempt.validator
- Custom function to validate email. By default uses validator.js and Mailchecker.normalizer
- Custom function to normalize the email address. By default usesvalidator.js/normalizeEmail()
.matchers
- Customize when to run inputemail
validation and normalization. Normalization always runs on user creation and update regardless of this setting.
The emailHarmony
plugin requires an additional field in the user table:
Field Name | Type | Optional | Unique | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
normalizedEmail | string | True | True | User's email address after normalization |
The normalizedEmail
field being unique prevents users from signing up with throwaway variations of
the same email address.
Note
Unlike emailHarmony
, phone number normalization intercepts and modifies the user's
phoneNumber
, permitting only normalized numbers in the backend.
npm i better-auth-harmony
// auth.ts
import { betterAuth } from 'better-auth';
import { phoneNumber } from 'better-auth/plugins';
import { phoneHarmony } from 'better-auth-harmony';

// ... other config options
plugins: [phoneNumber(), phoneHarmony()]
