How to use the useSignUp() hook

Check the current state of a sign-up with useSignUp()

Use the useSignUp() hook to access the SignUp object and check the current state of a sign-up.

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

The status property of the SignUp object can be one of the following values:

ValuesDescriptiom
completeThe user has been created and custom flow can proceed to setActive() to create session.
abandonedThe sign-up attempt will be abandoned if it was started more than 24 hours previously.
missing_requirementsA requirement from the Email, Phone, Username(opens in a new tab) settings is missing. For example, in the Clerk Dashboard, the Password setting is required but a password was not provided in the custom flow.

Create a custom sign-up flow with useSignUp()

The useSignUp() hook can also be used to build fully custom sign-up flows, if Clerk's pre-built components don't meet your specific needs or if you require more control over the authentication flow. Different sign-up flows include email and password, email and phone codes, email links, and multifactor (MFA). To learn more about using the useSignUp() hook to create custom flows, check out the custom flow guides(opens in a new tab).
