Clerk Update — July 2024

The Clerk team has been hard at work shipping new features to help you build secure applications faster. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:

Clerk Elements (Beta)

Clerk Elements

Clerk Elements is currently in beta and introduces an entirely new set of unstyled UI primitives that make it easy to build completely custom authentication and user management UIs on top of Clerk's APIs and business logic.

  • Customize with CSS Frameworks: Because everything is unstyled by default, Clerk Elements gives you complete control over the markup rendered in your authentication flows. Rendered markup accepts a className prop for easy styling with CSS frameworks such as Tailwind.
  • Extend with Component Libraries: Clerk Elements also support the asChild prop, popularized by component libraries like Radix. Bring your existing component library and it'll take care of the rest.

Google One Tap

Google One Tap

Google One Tap support introduces seamless, one-click user sign-ins and sign-ups. This allows your users to effortlessly access your services without having to remember passwords or undergo lengthy registration processes.

  • New <GoogleOneTap /> Component: If you have already configured Google OAuth with custom credentials, adding support for Google One Tap is as easy as including the new <GoogleOneTap /> component.
  • Support for Custom Flows & Non-React Environments: For those building applications that require custom flows or do not use React, Google One Tap is supported via clerk-js.
