Clerk Authentication
Patterns
Next.js App Router Setup
Complete Clerk setup for Next.js 14/15 App Router.
Includes ClerkProvider, environment variables, and basic
sign-in/sign-up components.
Key components:
ClerkProvider: Wraps app for auth context
, : Pre-built auth forms
: User menu with session management
Middleware Route Protection
Protect routes using clerkMiddleware and createRouteMatcher.
Best practices:
Single middleware.ts file at project root
Use createRouteMatcher for route groups
auth.protect() for explicit protection
Centralize all auth logic in middleware
Server Component Authentication
Access auth state in Server Components using auth() and currentUser().
