Build your own sign-in-or-up page for your React Router app with Clerk

This guide shows you how to use the <SignIn /> component to build a custom page that allows users to sign in or sign up within a single flow.

To set up separate sign-in and sign-up pages, follow this guide, and then follow the custom sign-up page guide.

Build a sign-in-or-up page

The following example demonstrates how to render the <SignIn /> component on a dedicated page using the React Router Splat route.

app/routes/sign-in.tsx
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/react-router'

export default function SignInPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Sign in or up route</h1>
      <SignIn />
    </div>
  )
}

Configure routes

React Router expects you to define routes in app/routes.ts. Add the previously created sign-in-or-up page to your route configuration.

app/routes.ts
import { type RouteConfig, index, route } from '@react-router/dev/routes'

export default [
  index('routes/home.tsx'),
  route('sign-in/*', 'routes/sign-in.tsx'),
] satisfies RouteConfig

Configure redirect behavior

  • Set the CLERK_SIGN_IN_URL environment variable to tell Clerk where the <SignIn /> component is being hosted.
  • Set CLERK_SIGN_IN_FALLBACK_REDIRECT_URL as a fallback URL incase users visit the /sign-in route directly.
  • Set CLERK_SIGN_UP_FALLBACK_REDIRECT_URL as a fallback URL incase users select the 'Don't have an account? Sign up' link at the bottom of the component.

Learn more about these environment variables and how to customize Clerk's redirect behavior in the dedicated guide.

.env
CLERK_SIGN_IN_URL=/sign-in
CLERK_SIGN_IN_FALLBACK_REDIRECT_URL=/
CLERK_SIGN_UP_FALLBACK_REDIRECT_URL=/

Visit your new page

Run your project with the following command:

terminal
npm run dev
terminal
yarn dev
terminal
pnpm dev
terminal
bun dev

Visit your new custom page locally at localhost:5173/sign-in.
