<ClerkProvider>

The <ClerkProvider> component is required to integrate Clerk into your React application, providing session and user context to Clerk's hooks and components.

The recommended approach is to wrap your entire app with <ClerkProvider> at the entry point to make authentication globally accessible. If you only need authentication for specific routes or pieces of your application, render <ClerkProvider> deeper in the component tree. This allows you to implement Clerk's functionality precisely where required without impacting the rest of your app.

Example

src/routes/index.tsx
import {
  ClerkProvider,
  SignedIn,
  SignedOut,
  UserButton,
  SignInButton,
} from '@clerk/chrome-extension'

const PUBLISHABLE_KEY = process.env.PLASMO_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
const EXTENSION_URL = chrome.runtime.getURL('.')

if (!PUBLISHABLE_KEY) {
  throw new Error('Please add the PLASMO_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY to the .env.development file')
}

export default function Index() {
  return (
    <ClerkProvider
      publishableKey={PUBLISHABLE_KEY}
      afterSignOutUrl={`${EXTENSION_URL}/popup.html`}
      signInFallbackRedirectUrl={`${EXTENSION_URL}/popup.html`}
      signUpFallbackRedirectUrl={`${EXTENSION_URL}/popup.html`}
    >
      <header>
        <SignedOut>
          <SignInButton />
        </SignedOut>
        <SignedIn>
          <UserButton />
        </SignedIn>
      </header>
    </ClerkProvider>
  )
}
