The official monorepo of Clerk's JavaScript SDKs under the @clerk namespace, providing authentication and user management for frameworks like Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, Expo, Astro, and Express. It offers drop-in UI components for sign-up, sign-in, profile management, multi-tenancy organizations, and billing backed by the Clerk platform.

Use cases

• add sign-up and sign-in to a Next.js app
• manage user profiles and sessions in React
• implement multi-tenant organizations with membership switching
• add JWT-based auth to an Express or Fastify API
• build authentication for a React Native Expo app
• add social login and MFA without building UI from scratch

When to choose

• you want hosted, drop-in auth UI with minimal setup
• your stack is Next.js, React, Vue, Nuxt, Expo, or another supported JS framework
• you need organizations/multi-tenancy and user management out of the box

When to avoid

• you need fully self-hosted auth with no external service dependency
• you require full control over the auth data store and custom flows beyond Clerk's model
• your project is not JavaScript/TypeScript
