import { UserProfile } from '@clerk/nextjs'

const UserProfilePage = () => <UserProfile path="/user-profile" />

export default UserProfilePage
/pages/user-profile/[[...index]].tsx
import { UserProfile } from '@clerk/nextjs'

const UserProfilePage = () => <UserProfile path="/user-profile" />

export default UserProfilePage
/user-profile.tsx
import { UserProfile } from '@clerk/clerk-react'

const UserProfilePage = () => <UserProfile path="/user-profile" />

export default UserProfilePage
routes/user/$.tsx
import { UserProfile } from '@clerk/remix'

export default function UserProfilePage() {
  return <UserProfile path="/user" />
}
pages/user.astro
