Multistep Onboarding Flow (AIO)

A responsive Clerk onboarding entry flow built around the prebuilt `<SignIn>` component at `/welcome`. It includes a branded split layout with rotating testimonials, Clerk’s shadcn theme, and middleware protection for the root route.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://clerk.com/r/nextjs-aio-multistep-onboarding.json

Usage

usage.tsx
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/nextjs';export default function WelcomePage() {  return <SignIn path='/welcome' />;}
  • Use as a starting point for a Clerk-powered multistep onboarding or sign-in experience.
  • Use when onboarding content should be embedded into Clerk’s prebuilt authentication flow.
  • Use when a responsive split-screen layout with rotating social proof is appropriate.
  • Use when the application already uses shadcn styling and wants Clerk components to match it.

Examples

Welcome route with Clerk SignIn

Renders the registry block’s authentication entry point at the configured welcome path.

welcome-route-with-clerk-signin.tsx
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/nextjs';export default function WelcomePage() {  return <SignIn path='/welcome' />;}

Custom testimonial content

Uses the exported testimonial component with quote and attribution objects.

custom-testimonial-content.tsx
import { Testimonials } from '@/components/ui/testimonials';export default function TestimonialPanel() {  return (    <Testimonials      quotes={[        {          quote: 'The onboarding flow helped our team reach activation faster.',          cite: 'Maya Chen, CTO',        },        {          quote: 'It was straightforward to customize and launch.',          cite: 'Jordan Whitfield, Head of Engineering',        },      ]}    />  );}

Clerk provider with custom appearance options

Wraps an application with the provided Clerk provider while retaining the built-in shadcn theme and provider options.

clerk-provider-with-custom-appearance-options.tsx
import { ClerkProvider } from '@/components/clerk-provider';export default function AppShell({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {  return (    <ClerkProvider appearance={{ elements: { card: 'rounded-xl' } }}>      {children}    </ClerkProvider>  );}

Accessibility

  • The inline logo exposes an accessible name through role="img" and aria-label="Acme".
  • The testimonial figure uses aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" so rotating quote changes can be announced without aggressively interrupting users.
  • The decorative quotation-mark SVG is hidden from assistive technology with aria-hidden="true".
  • The testimonial animation uses motion’s reduced-motion preference and falls back to opacity-only transitions.
  • The testimonial rotation pauses while the document is hidden and resumes when it becomes visible.
  • The desktop testimonial panel is hidden below the large breakpoint, leaving the authentication content available in the single-column layout.
  • The Clerk SignIn component supplies the authentication form and its associated accessibility behavior.
