`ClerkApp`

Clerk provides a ClerkApp wrapper to provide the authentication state to your React tree. This helper works with Remix SSR out-of-the-box and follows the "higher-order component" paradigm.

Usage

app/root.tsx

// The rest of your code

function App() {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <Meta />
        <Links />
      </head>
      <body>
        <Outlet />
        <ScrollRestoration />
        <Scripts />
        <LiveReload />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

// Wrap your app with `ClerkApp`
export default ClerkApp(App)

Pass configuration options

To pass configuration options to ClerkApp, you can pass an optional argument to the ClerkApp function.

app/root.tsx

// Wrap your app in ClerkApp(app)
export default ClerkApp(App, {
  publishableKey: import.meta.env.VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY,
})
