Readme
ClerkJS is our foundational JavaScript library for building user management and authentication. It enables you to register, sign in, verify and manage users for your application using highly customizable flows.
There are two ways you can include ClerkJS in your project. You can either import the ClerkJS npm module or load ClerkJS with a script tag.
npm install @clerk/clerk-js
Once you have installed the package, you will need to import the ClerkJS object constructor into your code and pass it your Publishable Key as a parameter.
import Clerk from '@clerk/clerk-js';
const clerkPublishableKey = 'pk_[publishable_key]';
const clerk = new Clerk(clerkPublishableKey);
await clerk.load({
// Set load options here...
});
ClerkJS can be loaded from a <script />
tag with the source from your Frontend API URL.
Add the following script to your site's <body>
element:
<script>
// Get this URL and Publishable Key from the Clerk Dashboard
const clerkPublishableKey = 'pk_[publishable_key]';
const frontendApiUrl = '[your-domain].clerk.accounts.dev';
const version = '@latest'; // Set to appropriate version
// Creates asynchronous script
const script = document.createElement('script');
script.setAttribute('data-clerk-publishable-key', clerkPublishableKey);
script.async = true;
script.src = `https://${frontendApiUrl}/npm/@clerk/clerk-js${version}/dist/clerk.browser.js`;
// Adds listener to initialize ClerkJS after it's loaded
script.addEventListener('load', async function () {
await window.Clerk.load({
// Set load options here...
});
});
document.body.appendChild(script);
</script>
To build the package locally with Webpack, run:
npm run build
<h1>Hello Clerk!</h1>
<button
id="sign-in-button"
onclick="Clerk.openSignIn()"
>
Sign In
</button>
<div id="user-button"></div>
<script>
async function loadClerk() {
const userButton = document.getElementById('user-button');
const signInButton = document.getElementById('sign-in-button');
await window.Clerk.load();
if (Clerk.user) {
Clerk.mountUserButton(userButton);
signInButton.hidden = true;
}
}
// [...] Installation code
</script>
