# or
pnpm add clerk-solidjs
# or
bun add clerk-solidjs

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.

// App.tsx

import { Router } from '@solidjs/router';
import { FileRoutes } from '@solidjs/start/router';
import { Suspense } from 'solid-js/web';
import { ClerkProvider } from 'clerk-solidjs';

import './app.css';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <Router
      root={(props) => (
        <ClerkProvider
          publishableKey={import.meta.env.VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY}
        >
          <Suspense>{props.children}</Suspense>
        </ClerkProvider>
      )}
    >
      <FileRoutes />
    </Router>
  );
}

Middleware

Clerk provides the clerkMiddleware helper function which can be used in solid-start middleware.

See SolidStart middleware for how to enable middleware.

// middleware.ts

import { createMiddleware } from '@solidjs/start/middleware';
import { clerkMiddleware } from 'clerk-solidjs';

export default createMiddleware({
  onRequest: [
    clerkMiddleware({
        publishableKey: import.meta.env.VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
        secretKey: import.meta.env.CLERK_SECRET_KEY
    }),
    // ... other middleware
});

Then you can use the auth helper function to access the auth object.
