Clerk is the easiest way to add authentication and user management to your React application. Add sign up, sign in, and profile management to your application in minutes.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• React v18+
• Node.js >=18.17.0 or later

Installation

npm install @clerk/clerk-react

Build

Usage

Clerk requires your application to be wrapped in the <ClerkProvider/> context.

If using Vite, set VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY to your Publishable key in your .env.local file to make the environment variable accessible on process.env and pass it as the publishableKey prop.

import { render } from 'react-dom';

import { ClerkProvider, SignedIn, SignedOut, SignInButton, UserButton } from '@clerk/clerk-react';

const publishableKey = process.env.VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY;

render(
  <ClerkProvider publishableKey={publishableKey}>
    <App />
  </ClerkProvider>,
  document.getElementById('root'),
);

function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <h1>Hello Clerk!</h1>
      <SignedIn>
        <UserButton afterSignOutUrl={window.location.href} />
      </SignedIn>
      <SignedOut>
        <SignInButton mode='modal' />
      </SignedOut>
    </>
  );
}
