How to use the useOrganizationList() hook

`useOrganizationList()`

The useOrganizationList() hook allows you to retrieve the memberships, invitations, or suggestions for an active user. This hook also gives you the ability to create an organization and set the active organization.

`useOrganizationList()` parameters

useOrganizationList() accepts a single object with the following properties:

Properties	Description
`userMemberships`	`true` or an object with any of the properties described in Shared properties. If set to `true`, all default properties will be used.
`userInvitations`	`true` or an object with `status: OrganizationInvitationStatus` or any of the properties described in Shared properties. If set to `true`, all default properties will be used.
`userSuggestions`	`true` or an object with `status: OrganizationSuggestionsStatus \| OrganizationSuggestionStatus[]` or any of the properties described in Shared properties. If set to `true`, all default properties will be used.

Warning

By default, the userMemberships, userInvitations, and userSuggestions attributes are not populated. You must pass true or an object with the desired properties to fetch and paginate the data.

Shared properties

Parameters that are shared across the invitations, membershipRequests, memberships, and domains properties.

Properties	Description
`initialPage?`	A number that can be used to skip the first n-1 pages. For example, if `initialPage` is set to 10, it is will skip the first 9 pages and will fetch the 10th page. Defaults to `1`.
`pageSize?`	A number that indicates the maximum number of results that should be returned for a specific page. Defaults to `10`.
`keepPreviousData?`	If `true`, it will persist the cached data until the new data has been fetched. Defaults to `false`.
`infinite?`	If `true`, the new downloaded data will be appended to the list with the existing data. Ideal for infinite lists. Defaults to `false`.

`OrganizationInvitationStatus`

useOrganizationList() accepts status as a property for the userInvitations parameter.

status is a string that can be one of the following:

type OrganizationInvitationStatus = "pending" | "accepted" | "revoked";

`OrganizationSuggestionsStatus`

useOrganizationList() accepts status as a property for the userSuggestions parameter.

status can be a string that can be one of the following, or an array of the following:

type OrganizationSuggestionStatus = "pending" | "accepted";

How to use the `useOrganizationList()` hook

Expanding and paginating attributes

To keep network usage to a minimum, developers are required to opt-in by specifying which resource they need to fetch and paginate through. So by default, the userMemberships, userInvitations, and userSuggestions attributes are not populated. You must pass true or an object with the desired properties to fetch and paginate the data.

// userMemberships.data will never be populated
const { userMemberships } = useOrganizationList();

// Use default values to fetch userMemberships, such as initialPage = 1 and pageSize = 10
const { userMemberships } = useOrganizationList({
  userMemberships: true
});

// Pass your own values to fetch userMemberships
const { userMemberships } = useOrganizationList({
  userMemberships: {
    pageSize: 20,
    initialPage: 2, // skips the first page
  }
});

// Aggregate pages in order to render an infinite list
const { userMemberships } = useOrganizationList({
  userMemberships: {
    infinite: true,
  }
});

Infinite pagination

The following example demonstrates how to use the infinite property to fetch and append new data to the existing list. The userMemberships attribute will be populated with the first page of the user's organization memberships. When the "Load more" button is clicked, the fetchNext helper function will be called to append the next page of memberships to the list.

joined-organizations.tsx

import { useOrganizationList } from "@clerk/clerk-react";
import React from "react";

const JoinedOrganizationList = () => {
  const { isLoaded, setActive, userMemberships } = useOrganizationList({
    userMemberships: {
      infinite: true,
    },
  });

  if (!isLoaded) {
    return <>Loading</>;
  }

  return (
    <>
      <ul>
        {userMemberships.data?.map((mem) => (
          <li key={mem.id}>
            <span>{mem.organization.name}</span>
            <button
              onClick={() => setActive({ organization: mem.organization.id })}
            >
              Select
            </button>
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>

      <button
        disabled={!userMemberships.hasNextPage}
        onClick={() => userMemberships.fetchNext()}
      >
        Load more
      </button>
    </>
  );
};

export default JoinedOrganizationList;

Simple pagination

The following example demonstrates how to use the fetchPrevious and fetchNext helper functions to paginate through the data. The userInvitations attribute will be populated with the first page of invitations. When the "Previous page" or "Next page" button is clicked, the fetchPrevious or fetchNext helper function will be called to fetch the previous or next page of invitations.

Notice the difference between this example's pagination and the infinite pagination example above.

joined-organizations.tsx

import { useOrganizationList } from "@clerk/clerk-react";
import React from "react";

const InvitationsTable = () => {
  const { isLoaded, userInvitations } = useOrganizationList({
    userInvitations: {
      infinite: true,
      keepPreviousData: true,
    },
  });

  if (!isLoaded || userInvitations.isLoading) {
    return <>Loading</>;
  }

  return (
    <>
      <table>
        <thead>
          <tr>
            <th>Email</th>
            <th>Org name</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>

        <tbody>
          {userInvitations.data?.map((inv) => (
            <tr key={inv.id}>
              <th>{inv.emailAddress}</th>
              <th>{inv.publicOrganizationData.name}</th>
            </tr>
          ))}
        </tbody>
      </table>

      <button
        disabled={!userInvitations.hasPreviousPage}
        onClick={userInvitations.fetchPrevious}
      >
        Prev
      </button>
      <button
        disabled={!userInvitations.hasNextPage}
        onClick={userInvitations.fetchNext}
      >
        Next
      </button>
    </>
  );
};

export default InvitationsTable;
