elysia-clerk

Elysia plugin to integrate with Clerk.

Note

This unofficial package isn't connected to Clerk.com. It's a project designed to smoothly incorporate Clerk features to your Elysia applications.

Install

bun add elysia-clerk

Usage

Retrieve your Backend API key from the API Keys screen in your Clerk dashboard and set it as an environment variable in a .env file:

CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_*******
CLERK_SECRET_KEY=sk_******

Configure clerkPlugin in your Elysia application

import { Elysia } from 'elysia'
import { clerkPlugin } from 'elysia-clerk'

new Elysia()
  .use(clerkPlugin())
  .get('/private', async ({ clerk, auth, set }) => {
    /**
     * Access the auth state in the context.
     * See the AuthObject here https://clerk.com/docs/references/nextjs/auth-object#auth-object
     */
    if (!auth?.userId) {
      set.status = 403
      return 'Unauthorized'
    }

    /**
     * For other resource operations, you can use the clerk client from the context.
     * See more examples here https://clerk.com/docs/references/backend/overview
     */
    const user = await clerk.users.getUser(auth.userId)

    return { user }
  })
  .listen(3000)

Instead of using Clerk globally, you can use Clerk for a subset of routes via Elysia plugins:

import { Elysia } from 'elysia'
import { clerkPlugin } from 'elysia-clerk'

const privateRoutes = new Elysia({ prefix: '/api' })
  .use(clerkPlugin())
  .get('/user', async ({ clerk, auth, set }) => {

    if (!auth?.userId) {
      set.status = 403
      return 'Unauthorized'
    }

    const user = await clerk.users.getUser(auth.userId)

    return { user }
  })

new Elysia()
  .use(privateRoutes)
  .get('/', () => 'Hello world!')
  .listen(3000)
