Clerk and Remix Quickstart

Introduction

Clerk is a developer-first authentication and user management solution. It provides pre-built components and hooks for sign-in, sign-up, user profile, and organization management. Clerk is designed to be easy to use and customize, and can be integrated into any Remix application.

After following the Clerk Remix quickstart, you will have learned how to:

• Install @clerk/remix
• Set your Clerk API keys
• Configure rootAuthLoader
• Configure ClerkApp
• Protect your pages

Deploy

Easily deploy the template to Vercel with the button below. You will need to set the required environment variables in the Vercel dashboard.

Running the template

git clone https://github.com/clerk/clerk-remix-quickstart

To run the example locally, you need to:

1. Sign up for a Clerk account at https://clerk.com.

2. Go to the Clerk dashboard and create an application.

3. Set the required Clerk environment variables as shown in the example env file.

4. npm install the required dependencies.

5. npm run dev to launch the development server.

Where the magic happens

In Remix, app/root.tsx wraps your entire application in both server and browser contexts. Clerk makes two modifications to this file so the authentication state is shared with your Remix routes.

1. rootAuthLoader exported as loader.
2. The default export wrapped with ClerkApp.

For more details, please refer to the Remix quickstart guide, or take a look at the app/root.tsx file.
