This item cannot be built as published, so there is no live preview: agent gave_up: The item cannot be built honestly with the provided manifest actions: its shadcn install always adds core-js@3.47.0, whose ignored postinstall makes pnpm fail before the demo can build.

Installation

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

Usage

usage.tsx
import WelcomePage from '@/app/welcome/[[...welcome]]/page';export default function Example() {  return <WelcomePage />;}
  • Use for custom Clerk sign-in and sign-up experiences that need onboarding data before entering the application.
  • Use when the flow must support email discovery, password authentication, email verification, and client-trust or second-factor verification.
  • Use when new users should select company size and optionally create or select an organization during onboarding.
  • Use as a branded alternative to Clerk’s prebuilt authentication components in a Next.js App Router application.

Examples

Render the onboarding route page

Use the registry page as the default export for the configured welcome route.

render-the-onboarding-route-page.tsx
import WelcomePage from '@/app/welcome/[[...welcome]]/page';export default function Page() {  return <WelcomePage />;}

Render the testimonials component independently

The included testimonial component accepts a required array of quote and cite objects.

render-the-testimonials-component-independently.tsx
import { Testimonials } from '@/components/ui/testimonials';export default function Example() {  return (    <Testimonials      quotes={[        {          quote: 'The onboarding flow helped our team get started quickly.',          cite: 'Maya Chen, CTO',        },        {          quote: 'A polished experience with excellent developer ergonomics.',          cite: 'Jordan Whitfield, Head of Engineering',        },      ]}    />  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
quotes{ quote: string; cite: string }[]—Required testimonial data rendered by the included Testimonials component. The component cycles through the array automatically every seven seconds; an empty array renders nothing.

Accessibility

  • The form controls use visible labels, associated IDs, and invalid-state attributes such as aria-invalid.
  • Validation errors are rendered next to their corresponding fields, while authentication and organization errors use descriptive text styling.
  • The testimonial figure uses aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" so rotating content can be announced without being overly disruptive.
  • The logo SVG is exposed as an image with the accessible name “Acme,” and the organization logo preview includes alternative text.
  • The implementation respects prefers-reduced-motion through Motion’s useReducedMotion hook, replacing movement and blur transitions with simpler fades.
  • The verification input is keyboard-accessible through the InputOTP component, and the back, resend, and remove-logo actions are real buttons.
  • The organization logo file input is visually presented in the form, but consumers should verify its label association and add an explicit accessible label if their generated UI primitives require one.
