Clerk and Expo Quickstart

Introduction

Clerk is a developer-first authentication and user management solution. It provides pre-built React components and hooks for sign-in, sign-up, user profile, and organization management. Clerk is designed to be easy to use and customize, and can be dropped into any React or Next.js application.

After following the quickstart you'll have learned how to:

• Install @clerk/clerk-expo
• Setup your environment key
• Wrap your Expo app in <ClerkProvider /> and supply your tokenCache
• Conditionally show content based on your auth state
• Build your sign-in and sign-up pages
