Clerk and Expo Quickstart

Introduction

Clerk is a developer-first authentication and user management solution. It provides pre-built React 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 dropped into any React or Next.js application.

After following the quickstart you'll have learned how to:

• Install @clerk/clerk-expo
• Setup your environment key
• Wrap your Expo app in <ClerkProvider /> and supply your tokenCache
• Conditionally show content based on your auth state
• Build your sign-in and sign-up pages

Running the template

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

To run the example locally, you'll need to make sure you have XCode installed and configured properly, then:

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 variable as shown in the example env file.

4. npm install the required dependencies.

5. npm run start to launch the development server.
