Deprecation warning

This package has been deprecated in favor of the isomorphic @clerk/backend which is now used across all server-enabled Clerk packages. This package will not receive any future updates. It should not be used directly - please use as a reference only.

Overview

This package is a wrapper around Clerk core capabilities with added functionality and helpers aimed towards different edge and serverless platforms.

Getting Started

Installation

npm install @clerk/edge

Build

To build the package locally with the TypeScript compiler, run:

npm run build

Supported platforms

Currently supported environments/platforms:

Vercel Edge Functions

To use with Edge Functions:

import { withAuth } from '@clerk/edge/vercel-edge';

async function handler(req, event) {
  // ...
}

export const middleware = withAuth(handler);

Supported methods:

• withAuth
• verifySessionToken
• Resources API through ClerkAPI

Usage

Validate the Authorized Party of a session token

Clerk's JWT session token, contains the azp claim, which equals the Origin of the request during token generation. You can provide the middlewares with a list of whitelisted origins to verify against, to protect your application of the subdomain cookie leaking attack.

Example implementation:

import { withAuth } from '@clerk/edge/vercel-edge';

const authorizedParties = ['http://localhost:3000', 'https://example.com'];

async function handler(req, event) {
  // ...
}

export const middleware = withAuth(handler, { authorizedParties });
