Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js >=18.17.0 or later

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>
    </>
  );
}
