Usage

Basic usage

app/page.tsx
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/nextjs'

export default function Home() {
  return <SignOutButton />
}
src/sign-out.tsx
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/clerk-react'

const SignOutPage = () => <SignOutButton />

export default SignOutPage
pages/sign-out.astro
---
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/astro/components'
---

<SignOutButton />
app/routes/sign-out.tsx
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/remix'

export default function SignOutPage() {
  return <SignOutButton />
}
app/routes/sign-out.tsx
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/tanstack-start'
import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'

export const Route = createFileRoute('/sign-out')({
  component: SignOut,
})

function SignOut() {
  return <SignOutButton />
}
sign-out.vue
<script setup>
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/vue'
</script>

<template>
  <SignOutButton />
</template>

Custom usage

You can create a custom button by wrapping your own button, or button text, in the <SignOutButton> component.

app/page.js
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/nextjs'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <SignOutButton>
      <button>Custom sign out button</button>
    </SignOutButton>
  )
}
example.js
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/clerk-react'

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <SignOutButton>
      <button>Custom sign out button</button>
    </SignOutButton>
  )
}
pages/index.js
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/remix'

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <SignOutButton>
      <button>Custom sign out button</button>
    </SignOutButton>
  )
}

You must pass the asChild prop to the <SignOutButton> component if you are passing children to it.

pages/index.astro
---
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/astro/components'
---

<SignOutButton asChild>
  <button>Custom sign out button</button>
</SignOutButton>
example.vue
<script setup>
import { SignOutButton } from '@clerk/vue'
</script>

<template>
  <SignOutButton>
    <button>Custom sign out button</button>
  </SignOutButton>
</template>

Multi-session usage

Sign out of all sessions

Clicking the <SignOutButton> component signs the user out of all sessions. This is the default behavior.

Sign out of a specific session

You can sign out of a specific session by passing in a sessionId to the signOutOptions prop. This is useful for signing a single account out of a multi-session (multiple account) application.

In the following example, the sessionId is retrieved from the useAuth() hook. If the user is not signed in, the sessionId will be null, and the user is shown the <SignInButton> component. If the user is signed in, the user is shown the <SignOutButton> component, which when clicked, signs the user out of that specific session.

app/page.tsx
'use client'

import { SignInButton, SignOutButton, useAuth } from '@clerk/nextjs'

export default function Home() {
  const { sessionId } = useAuth()

  if (!sessionId) {
    return <SignInButton />
  }

  return <SignOutButton signOutOptions={{ sessionId }} />
}
example.js
import { SignInButton, SignOutButton, useAuth } from '@clerk/clerk-react'

export default function Home() {
  const { sessionId } = useAuth()

  if (!sessionId) {
    return <SignInButton />
  }

  return <SignOutButton signOutOptions={{ sessionId }} />
}
pages/index.js
import { SignInButton, SignOutButton, useAuth } from '@clerk/remix'

export default function Home() {
  const { sessionId } = useAuth()

  if (!sessionId) {
    return <SignInButton />
  }

  return <SignOutButton signOutOptions={{ sessionId }} />
}
example.vue
<script setup>
import { SignInButton, SignOutButton, useAuth } from '@clerk/vue'

const { sessionId } = useAuth()
</script>

<template>
  <SignInButton v-if="!sessionId" />
  <SignOutButton v-else :sign-out-options="{ sessionId }" />
</template>
