useSignUp()

The useSignUp() hook gives you access to the SignUp object, which allows you to check the current state of a sign-up. This is also useful for creating a custom sign-up flow.

Usage

Check the current sign-up status

pages/sign-up.tsx
import { useSignUp } from "@clerk/nextjs"; export default function SignUpStep() { const { isLoaded, signUp } = useSignUp(); if (!isLoaded) { // handle loading state return null; } return <div>The current sign-up attempt status is {signUp.status}.</div>; }

Sign up a user with a custom flow

pages/signup.tsx
import { useSignUp } from "@clerk/nextjs"; import { useState } from "react"; export default function SignUp() { const [emailAddress, setEmailAddress] = useState(""); const [password, setPassword] = useState(""); const { isLoaded, signUp, setActive } = useSignUp(); if (!isLoaded) { // handle loading state return null; } async function submit(e) { e.preventDefault(); // Check the sign up response to // decide what to do next. await signUp .create({ emailAddress, password, }) .then((result) => { if (result.status === "complete") { console.log(result); setActive({ session: result.createdSessionId }); } else { console.log(result); } }) .catch((err) => console.error("error", err.errors[0].longMessage)); } return ( <form onSubmit={submit}> <div> <label htmlFor="email">Email</label> <input type="email" value={emailAddress} onChange={(e) => setEmailAddress(e.target.value)} /> </div> <div> <label htmlFor="password">Password</label> <input type="password" value={password} onChange={(e) => setPassword(e.target.value)} /> </div> <div> <button>Sign up</button> </div> </form> ); }
