Clerk Next.js Quickstart — Sign-in-or-up (App Router)

A minimal Clerk sign-in page for the Next.js App Router that combines sign-in and sign-up in one catch-all route. It renders Clerk’s prebuilt `<SignIn />` component with the `withSignUp` option enabled.

This item cannot be built as published, so there is no live preview: agent gave_up: I cannot produce an honest manifest-only build recipe: the registry install fails because pnpm blocks the ignored core-js@3.47.0 lifecycle build script, and the manifest has no supported action to approve that script or change pnpm configuration.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://clerk.com/r/nextjs-quickstart-sign-in-or-up.json

Usage

usage.tsx
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/nextjs';export default function SignInPage() {  return (    <div className='bg-muted flex w-full flex-1 items-center justify-center p-6 md:p-10'>      <SignIn withSignUp />    </div>  );}
  • Use for a minimal Next.js App Router authentication quickstart.
  • Use when sign-up should be available from the sign-in page instead of a separate sign-up route.
  • Use when you want Clerk to provide the complete authentication form and account-flow UI.
  • Use with the included Clerk provider, middleware, theme provider, header, and layout registry dependencies.

Examples

Combined sign-in and sign-up route

The exact page structure used by the registry item at `app/sign-in/[[...sign-in]]/page.tsx`.

combined-sign-in-and-sign-up-route.tsx
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/nextjs';export default function SignInPage() {  return (    <div className='bg-muted flex w-full flex-1 items-center justify-center p-6 md:p-10'>      <SignIn withSignUp />    </div>  );}

Minimal centered authentication page

A smaller wrapper is also valid when the surrounding layout already provides page sizing.

minimal-centered-authentication-page.tsx
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/nextjs';export default function SignInPage() {  return (    <main className='flex min-h-screen items-center justify-center'>      <SignIn withSignUp />    </main>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
withSignUpbooleanfalseEnables sign-up from the Clerk sign-in component, allowing users to access the combined sign-in-or-up flow without a separate sign-up page.

Accessibility

  • The outer wrapper uses flex alignment and does not remove keyboard focus or add inaccessible interaction behavior.
  • Clerk’s `<SignIn />` component supplies the authentication form, labels, validation, focus handling, and authentication controls.
  • The responsive padding provides space around the authentication card on small and larger screens.
  • The surrounding root layout sets the document language to English with `lang='en'`.
  • No custom loading, error, or form semantics are added by this block; those states are managed by Clerk.
