The Clerk team has been hard at work shipping new features to help you build secure applications faster. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:

Official SDK for Astro

We're proud to announce @clerk/astro, a new official SDK that enables developers to add authentication and authorization into their Astro application in matter of minutes.

  • Use Clerk components in Astro: Use our components to create a beautiful, fully-functional user and organization management experience in minutes.
  • Granular page protection: Protect entire paths of your application with Clerk middleware, or individual pages with Astro locals.
  • Support for React in Astro: If you are using React in Astro and are already familiar with how Clerk and React work together, you can use the same hooks and components you are used to.

Learn more about the Astro Clerk SDK in the Astro Quickstart.

Remix SPA Mode

Remix SPA mode enables your Remix applications to run on the client with the benefits of Remix such as file-based routing and prefetching. Starting with @clerk/remix@4.2.0 our Remix SDK now supports Remix SPA mode.

  • Use Clerks control components like <SignedIn> and <SignedOut> to protect areas of your Remix SPA app.

Expo SDK v2

We have released @clerk/clerk-expo v2 with support for Expo Web! This means that you can create universal apps that run on Android, iOS, and the web all with a single codebase!

  • Expo Web support: Clerk's prebuilt components can now be used with web applications built with Expo Web
  • One codebase, universal authentication: Use our hooks to build universal sign-in and sign-up views for Android, iOS, and Web all from a single codebase.
