🚀 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

// Initialize (automatic with SuperBetterAuth)
final orgPlugin = OrganizationPlugin.instance;

// Create organization
final org = await orgPlugin.createOrganization(
  name: "My Company",
  slug: "my-company",
);

// Invite member
final invitation = await orgPlugin.inviteMember(
  email: "user@example.com",
  role: "member",
);

// List organizations
final organizations = await orgPlugin.listOrganizations();

Advanced Usage with Client

// Direct API access
final client = SuperBetterAuth.client.organization;
final result = await client.createOrganization(
  body: CreateOrganizationRequest(
    name: "Test Org",
    slug: "test-org",
  ),
);

if (result.isSuccess) {
  print("Created: ${result.data?.organization.name}");
}

UI Integration

// Use the provided widget
OrganizationWidget(
  onOrganizationChanged: (org) {
    print("Active organization: ${org.name}");
  },
)

// Or the full example app
OrganizationExample()

🔧 Backend Requirements

This implementation requires the Better Auth backend with organization plugin:

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
import { organization } from "better-auth/plugins"

export const auth = betterAuth({
  plugins: [
    organization({
      allowUserToCreateOrganization: true,
      membershipLimit: 100,
      // ... other options
    })
  ]
})

📋 Database Schema

The implementation expects these tables:

  • organization - Organization details
  • member - Organization members with roles
  • invitation - Member invitations
  • team - Teams within organizations (optional)
  • teamMember - Team membership (optional)
  • session - Extended with active organization/team IDs

🎨 UI Components

OrganizationWidget

A simple, ready-to-use widget for organization selection and basic management.

OrganizationExample

A comprehensive demo showing all organization features in a tabbed interface.

⚠️ Current Limitations

  1. Code Generation: JSON serialization files (.g.dart) need to be generated using flutter packages pub run build_runner build
  2. Retrofit Generation: API client files (.g.dart) need generation
  3. Error Handling: Currently uses simple null checks; could be enhanced with proper error types
  4. Permissions: Access control implementation would need backend permission validation
  5. Real-time Updates: No WebSocket/SSE support for real-time organization changes

🔄 Next Steps

To complete the implementation:

  1. Run code generation:

    flutter packages pub run build_runner build

  2. Test with Better Auth backend

  3. Add permission-based UI controls

  4. Implement real-time updates

  5. Add more comprehensive error handling

  6. Add unit tests
