How to use the useSignUp() hook

Check the current state of a sign-up

The following example uses the useSignUp() hook to access the SignUp object, which contains the current sign-up attempt status and methods to create a new sign-up attempt. The isLoaded property is used to handle the loading state.

src/pages/SignUpPage.tsx
import { useSignUp } from '@clerk/clerk-react'

export default function SignUpPage() {
  const { isLoaded, signUp } = useSignUp()

  if (!isLoaded) {
    // Handle loading state
    return null
  }

  return <div>The current sign-up attempt status is {signUp?.status}.</div>
}

SignUp status values

The status property of the SignUp object can be one of the following values:

  • Name
    complete
    Type
    string
    Description

    The user has been created and the custom flow can proceed to setActive() to create a session.

  • Name
    abandoned
    Type
    string
    Description

    The sign-up attempt will be abandoned if it was started more than 24 hours previously.

  • Name
    missing_requirements
    Type
    string
    Description

    A requirement is missing from the Email, Phone, Username settings. For example, in the Clerk Dashboard, the Password setting is required but a password wasn't provided in the custom flow.

Create a custom sign-up flow with useSignUp()

The useSignUp() hook can also be used to build fully custom sign-up flows, if Clerk's prebuilt components don't meet your specific needs or if you require more control over the authentication flow. Different sign-up flows include email and password, email and phone codes, email links, and multifactor (MFA). To learn more about using the useSignUp() hook to create custom flows, see the custom flow guides.
