Features

• Next.js: A React framework for production.
• Shadcn UI: A set of customizable UI components.
• Clerk Authentication: Secure and easy-to-use authentication for your application.

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env.local file in the root directory and add the following environment variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_FRONTEND_API=<your-clerk-frontend-api>
CLERK_API_KEY=<your-clerk-api-key>

Replace <your-clerk-frontend-api> and <your-clerk-api-key> with your actual Clerk credentials.

Usage

Authentication

This starter kit uses Clerk for authentication. Clerk provides a seamless way to add user authentication to your application. For more details on how to use Clerk, refer to the Clerk documentation.

UI Components

Shadcn UI components are used to build the user interface. These components are highly customizable and can be tailored to fit your design requirements. For more details, refer to the Shadcn UI documentation.

Custom Hooks

Custom React hooks are available in the src/hooks/ directory to help manage state and side effects in your application.

Contexts

React contexts are used to manage global state, such as user authentication status. These contexts are located in the src/contexts/ directory.
