Upgrading @clerk/backend to Core 2

Core 2 is included in the Backend SDK starting with version 1. This new version ships with a variety of smaller DX improvements and housekeeping items. Each of the potentially breaking changes are detailed in this guide, below.

By the end of this guide, you’ll have successfully upgraded your Backend project to use @clerk/backend v1. You’ll learn how to update your dependencies, resolve breaking changes, and find deprecations. Step-by-step instructions will lead you through the process.

Preparing to upgrade

Before upgrading, it's highly recommended that you update your Clerk SDKs to the latest Core 1 version (npm i @clerk/backend@0). Some changes required for Core 2 SDKs can be applied incrementally to the v1 release, which should contribute to a smoother upgrading experience. After updating, look out for deprecation messages in your terminal and browser console. By resolving these deprecations you'll be able to skip many breaking changes from Core 2.

Additionally, some of the minimum version requirements for some base dependencies have been updated such that versions that are no longer supported or are at end-of-life are no longer guaranteed to work correctly with Clerk.

Updating Node.js

You need to have Node.js 18.17.0 or later installed. Last year, Node.js 16 entered EOL (End of life) status, so support for this version has been removed across Clerk SDKs. You can check your Node.js version by running node -v in your terminal. Learn more about how to update and install Node.js.

Updating to Core 2

Whenever you feel ready, go ahead and install the latest version of any Clerk SDKs you are using. Make sure that you are prepared to patch some breaking changes before your app will work properly, however. The commands below demonstrate how to install the latest version.

terminal
npm install @clerk/backend
terminal
yarn add @clerk/backend
terminal
pnpm add @clerk/backend
terminal
bun add @clerk/backend

CLI upgrade helper

Clerk now provides a @clerk/upgrade CLI tool that you can use to ease the upgrade process. The tool will scan your codebase and produce a list of changes you'll need to apply to your project. It should catch the vast majority of the changes needed for a successful upgrade to any SDK including Core 2. This can save you a lot of time reading through changes that don't apply to your project.

To run the CLI tool, navigate to your project and run it in the terminal:

terminal
npx @clerk/upgrade --from=core-1
terminal
yarn dlx @clerk/upgrade --from=core-1
terminal
pnpm dlx @clerk/upgrade --from=core-1
terminal
bun dlx @clerk/upgrade --from=core-1

If you are having trouble with npx, it's also possible to install directly with npm i @clerk/upgrade -g, and can then be run with the clerk-upgrade command.

Breaking Changes

request separated from options as params to authenticateRequest

There has been a change to the way the params of the authenticateRequest function are structured. The request param, formerly included in an options object, has been moved to stand on its own as the first param to the function, while the options object remains as the second param. Example below:

clerkClient.authenticateRequest({ ...opts, request })
clerkClient.authenticateRequest(request, { ...opts })

clockSkewInSeconds -> clockSkewInMs

The clockSkewInSeconds option has been renamed to clockSkewInMs in order to accurately reflect that its value is expected to be in milliseconds rather than seconds. The value does not need to change here, only the name. This change affects the following imports:

  • verifyJwt
  • verifyToken
  • Clerk.authenticateRequest

Import paths changes

Some top level import paths have been changed in order to improve tree-shaking and more clearly categorize sets of functionality. Some methods have been moved under an /internal path, indicating that they are only intended for internal use, are exempt from semver, and should be used with great caution.

verifyJwt import moved to @clerk/backend/jwt

The verifyJwt import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/jwt. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Example below of the fix that needs to be made

import { verifyJwt } from '@clerk/backend'
import { verifyJwt } from '@clerk/backend/jwt'
decodeJwt import moved to @clerk/backend/jwt

The decodeJwt import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/jwt. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Example below of the fix that needs to be made

import { decodeJwt } from '@clerk/backend'
import { decodeJwt } from '@clerk/backend/jwt'
signJwt import moved to @clerk/backend/jwt

The signJwt import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/jwt. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Example below of the fix that needs to be made

import { signJwt } from '@clerk/backend'
import { signJwt } from '@clerk/backend/jwt'
constants import moved to @clerk/backend/internal

The constants import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/internal. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Note that internal imports are not intended for usage and are outside the scope of semver. Example below of the fix that needs to be made:

import { constants } from '@clerk/backend'
import { constants } from '@clerk/backend/internal'
redirect import moved to @clerk/backend/internal

The redirect import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/internal. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Note that internal imports are not intended for usage and are outside the scope of semver. Example below of the fix that needs to be made:

import { redirect } from '@clerk/backend'
import { redirect } from '@clerk/backend/internal'
createAuthenticateRequest import moved to @clerk/backend/internal

The createAuthenticateRequest import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/internal. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Note that internal imports are not intended for usage and are outside the scope of semver. Example below of the fix that needs to be made:

import { createAuthenticateRequest } from '@clerk/backend'
import { createAuthenticateRequest } from '@clerk/backend/internal'
createIsomorphicRequest import moved to @clerk/backend/internal

The createIsomorphicRequest import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/internal. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Note that internal imports are not intended for usage and are outside the scope of semver. Example below of the fix that needs to be made:

import { createIsomorphicRequest } from '@clerk/backend'
import { createIsomorphicRequest } from '@clerk/backend/internal'
createIsomorphicRequest import moved to /internal

The createIsomorphicRequest import was intended for those building custom Clerk integrations for frameworks and has been moved to @clerk/backend/internal to reflect this. Use caution when using internal imports as they are outside the bounds of semver.

import { createIsomorphicRequest } from '@clerk/backend'
import { createIsomorphicRequest } from '@clerk/backend/internal'
SignJWTError import moved to @clerk/backend/errors

The SignJWTError import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/errors. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Example below of the fix that needs to be made:

import { SignJWTError } from '@clerk/backend'
import { SignJWTError } from '@clerk/backend/errors'
TokenVerificationError import moved to @clerk/backend/errors

The TokenVerificationError import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/errors. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Example below of the fix that needs to be made:

import { TokenVerificationError } from '@clerk/backend'
import { TokenVerificationError } from '@clerk/backend/errors'
TokenVerificationErrorAction import moved to @clerk/backend/errors

The TokenVerificationErrorAction import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/errors. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Example below of the fix that needs to be made:

import { TokenVerificationErrorAction } from '@clerk/backend'
import { TokenVerificationErrorAction } from '@clerk/backend/errors'
TokenVerificationErrorReason import moved to @clerk/backend/errors

The TokenVerificationErrorReason import path has changed from @clerk/backend to @clerk/backend/errors. You must update your import path in order for it to work correctly. Example below of the fix that needs to be made:

import { TokenVerificationErrorReason } from '@clerk/backend'
import { TokenVerificationErrorReason } from '@clerk/backend/errors'

httpOptions parameter removed

The httpOptions parameter was removed from the internal buildRequest function but it is used by most public facing APIs. Hence you were able to pass httpOptions to some functions which is not possible anymore. If you're currently relying on this functionality and want to update, contact support.

The internal change looks like this:

const r = buildRequest({ httpOptions: { headers: {} } })
const request = buildRequest()
request({ headerParams: {} })

Removed: orgs claim on JWT

In the previous version of Clerk's SDKs, if you decode the session token that Clerk returns from the server, you'll currently find an orgs claim on it. It lists all the orgs associated with the given user. Now, Clerk returns the org_id, org_slug, and org_role of the active organization.

The orgs claim was part of the JwtPayload. Here are a few examples of where the JwtPayload could be found.

Next.js
Next.js
import { getAuth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'
const claims: JwtPayload = getAuth(request).sessionClaims

import { getAuth } from '@clerk/ssr.server'
const claims: JwtPayload = (await getAuth(request)).sessionClaims
Fastify
Fastify
import { getAuth } from '@clerk/fastify'
const claims: JwtPayload = (await getAuth(request)).sessionClaims
@clerk/backend
@clerk/backend
import { createClerkClient } from '@clerk/backend'

const clerkClient = createClerkClient({ secretKey: '' })
const requestState = await clerkClient.authenticateRequest(request, { publishableKey: '' })
const claims: JwtPayload = requestState.toAuth().sessionClaims
@clerk/clerk-sdk-node

Important

The Node SDK is no longer supported. Upgrade to the Express SDK.

@clerk/clerk-sdk-node
import { clerkClient } from '@clerk/clerk-sdk-node'

router.use((...args) => clerkClient.expressRequireAuth()(...args))
router.get('/me', async (req, reply: Response) => {
  return reply.json({ auth: req.auth })
})

If you would like to have your JWT return all of the user's organizations, you can create a custom JWT template in your dashboard. Add { "orgs": "user.organizations" } to it.

})

Changes to some function return signatures

There have been changes to return signatures for some functions. Since the Clerk API responses are paginated, the totalCount property is helpful in determining the total number of items in the response easily. This change also aligns the response shape with what is returned from the Clerk Backend API. Each impacted function is listed below, along with code examples:

Users.getOrganizationMembershipList return signature changed

The response payload of Users.getOrganizationMembershipList was changed as part of the core 2 release. Rather than directly returning data, the return signature is now { data, totalCount }. Since Backend API responses are paginated, the totalCount property is helpful in determining the total number of items in the response easily, and this change in the backend SDK aligns the response shape with what the Backend API returns directly.

Here's an example of how the response shape would change with this modification:

const data = await clerkClient.users.getOrganizationMembershipList()
const { data, totalCount } = await clerkClient.users.getOrganizationMembershipList()
Users.getOrganizationInvitationList return signature changed

The response payload of Users.getOrganizationInvitationList was changed as part of the core 2 release. Rather than directly returning data, the return signature is now { data, totalCount }.

const data = await clerkClient.organizations.getOrganizationInvitationList({
  organizationId: '...',
})

data.forEach(() => {})
data.data.forEach(() => {})
User.getOrganizationMembershipList return type changed

The return type for this function was previously [Items] but has now been updated to { data: [Items], totalCount: number }. Since the Clerk API responses are paginated, the totalCount property is helpful in determining the total number of items in the response easily. A before/after code example can be seen below:

const { user } = useUser()
const membershipList = user.getOrganizationMembershipList()

membershipList.forEach(() => {})
membershipList.data.forEach(() => {})
Users.getOrganizationList return signature changed

The response payload of Users.getOrganizationList was changed as part of the core 2 release. Rather than directly returning data, the return signature is now { data, totalCount }.

const data = await clerkClient.users.getOrganizationMembershipList()
const { data, totalCount } = await clerkClient.users.getOrganizationMembershipList()

Image URL Name Consolidation

There are a number of Clerk primitives that contain images, and previously they each had different property names, like avatarUrl, logoUrl, profileImageUrl, etc. In order to promote consistency and make it simpler for developers to know where to find associated images, all image properties are now named imageUrl. See the list below for all affected classes:

Organization.logoUrl -> Organization.imageUrl

The logoUrl property of any has been changed to imageUrl.

User.profileImageUrl -> .imageUrl

The profileImageUrl property of any User object has been changed to imageUrl.

ExternalAccount.picture -> .imageUrl

The picture property of any has been changed to imageUrl.

ExternalAccountJSON.avatar_url -> .imageUrl

The avatarUrl property of any ExternalAccountJSON object has been changed to imageUrl.

OrganizationJSON.logo_url -> .imageUrl

The logo_url property of any OrganizationJSON object has been changed to imageUrl.

UserJSON.profile_image_url -> .imageUrl

The profile_image_url property of any UserJSON object has been changed to imageUrl.

OrganizationMembershipPublicUserData.profileImageUrl -> .imageUrl

The profileImageUrl property of any OrganizationMembershipPublicUserData object has been changed to imageUrl.

OrganizationMembershipPublicUserDataJSON.profile_image_url -> .imageUrl

The profile_image_url property of any OrganizationMembershipPublicUserDataJSON object has been changed to imageUrl.

Deprecation removals & housekeeping

As part of this major version, a number of previously deprecated props, arguments, methods, etc. have been removed. Additionally there have been some changes to things that are only used internally, or only used very rarely. It's highly unlikely that any given app will encounter any of these items, but they are all breaking changes, so they have all been documented below.

Note

For this section more than any other one, use the CLI upgrade tool (npx @clerk/upgrade). Changes in this section are very unlikely to appear in your codebase, the tool will save time looking for them.

Deprecation removals

User.update({ password: 'x' }) -> User.updatePassword('x')

If you are updating a user's password via the , it must be changed to instead. This method will require the current password as well as the desired new password. We made this update to improve the security of password changes. Example below:

user.update({ password: 'foo' })

user.updatePassword({
  currentPassword: 'bar',
  newPassword: 'foo',
  signOutOfOtherSessions: true,
})
frontendApi -> publishableKey as param to createClerkClient

The frontendApi argument passed to createClerkClient must be changed to publishableKey. Note that the values of the two keys are different, so both keys and values need to be changed. You can find your application's Publishable Key in the Clerk Dashboard. Also note that the import value has changed for creating a new Clerk client, which will be addressed by a separate line item if relevant to your codebase.

import { Clerk } from '@clerk/backend'
import { createClerkClient } from '@clerk/backend'

const clerkClient = Clerk({ frontendApi: '...' })
const clerkClient = createClerkClient({ publishableKey: '...' })

clerkClient.authenticateRequest({ frontendApi: '...' })
clerkClient.authenticateRequest({ publishableKey: '...' })
apiKey -> secretKey as param to createClerkClient

The apiKey argument passed to createClerkClient must be changed to secretKey. Also note that the import value has changed for creating a new Clerk client, which will be addressed by a separate line item if relevant to your codebase.

import { Clerk } from '@clerk/backend'
import { createClerkClient } from '@clerk/backend'

const clerkClient = Clerk({ apiKey: '...' })
const clerkClient = createClerkClient({ secretKey: '...' })

clerkClient.authenticateRequest({ apiKey: '...' })
clerkClient.authenticateRequest({ secretKey: '...' })

Other Breaking changes

API_URL value has changed

The value of this export has changed from https://api.clerk.dev to https://api.clerk.com. If you were relying on the text content of this value not changing, you may need to make adjustments.

Clerk -> createClerkClient

The top level Clerk import was renamed to createClerkClient. This is just a name change and can be treated as a text replacement, no changes to the params or return types.

// before
import { Clerk } from '@clerk/backend'

// after
import { createClerkClient } from '@clerk/backend'
pkgVersion -> clerkJSVersion

The pkgVersion parameter was removed from the loadInterstitialFromLocal, loadInterstitialFromBAPI, and buildPublicInterstitialUrl functions. Use clerkJSVersion instead. Example:

loadInterstitialFromLocal({ pkgVersion: '...' })
loadInterstitialFromLocal({ clerkJSVersion: '...' })
clerkClient.__unstable_options removed

The clerkClient.__unstable_options property was removed. Previously, you could use it to update the internal options. Instead, create a new clerkClient instance using createClerkClient and pass the options in this way. For example:

import { createClerkClient } from '@clerk/backend'

const clerkClient = createClerkClient({ secretKey: 'old' })

clerkClient.__unstable_options.secretKey = 'new'
const newClerkClient = createClerkClient({ secretKey: 'new' })
createEmail import removed

The createEmail import has been removed. There is no replacement at this time because we need to rethink how createEmail behaves and align it with the newer sendSms method. If this is an issue for your implementation, contact Clerk support.

MembershipRole type replaced by OrganizationCustomRoleKey type

The MembershipRole type was replaced with OrganizationCustomRoleKey (related to roles and permissions). An example of where this type might be found:

import { useAuth } from '@clerk/clerk-react'

const { orgRole } = useAuth()

To support the existing roles admin, basic_member, and guest_member apply interface merging using the following snippet:

interface ClerkAuthorization {
  permission: ''
  role: 'admin' | 'basic_member' | 'guest_member'
}
buildRequestUrl import removed

The buildRequestUrl import was intended for those building custom Clerk integrations for frameworks and has been removed in favor of other methods internally. If you were relying on this function and this is an issue, contact support.

Organization.members_count -> Organization.membersCount

The members_count attribute of the Organization resource has been renamed to membersCount to match the naming convention of other attributes.

organization.members_count
organization.membersCount
