POC: Clerk + SvelteKit

This is a proof of concept for using Clerk with SvelteKit, it should be treated as an experiment and not as a production ready code. It is highly recommended to use the official Clerk SvelteKit, when it is released (check their documentation)

How to use

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/kddige/clerk-sveltekit.git
   cd clerk-sveltekit
   

2. Install dependencies

   yarn
   

3. Create a Clerk account and setup a project (since you are already here you probably already did that)

4. Create .env file in the root of the project and add the following variables

PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<PUBLISHABLE_KEY>
CLERK_SECRET_KEY=<SECRET_KEY>

5. Run the project

   yarn dev

TODO (draft)

• Improve server side DX
  • Add a withSession middleware hook to handle sessions
  • Research/improve the current authentication flow. (I am almost certain the current way is NOT the best way to do it)
• Improve client side DX
  • Create a useSession store
  • Create a useAuth store
  • Create a useUser store
  • Create a getAuth function
  • ...Others?

FAQ

• Is this the Offical Clerk Sveltekit integration?
  • NO!!! Its no way endorsed or maintained by Clerk. This is a proof of concept and it is highly recommended to use the official Clerk SvelteKit, when it is released (check their documentation)

• Why did you create this?
  • I wanted to try out Clerk and SvelteKit and I couldn't find any examples of how to use them together. So I decided to create this POC.

• Can I use this in my project?
  • Yes, you can. But I am not responsible for any damage this code might cause.

• Is it safe?
  • One thing i know, is that i don't know anything🤓. Frankly i am not a security expert, so I can't guarantee that this code is safe. But I am pretty sure that it is safe enough for a POC. If you find any security issues, please let me know.
