<UserProfile />
customization
The <UserProfile />
component supports the addition of custom pages and use of external links in the navigation sidebar.
<UserProfile.Page />
Custom pages can be rendered inside the <UserProfile />
component and provide a way to incorporate app-specific settings or additional functionality.
To add a custom page to the <UserProfile />
component, use the <UserProfile.Page />
component.
Usage
<UserProfile.Page />
can be rendered only on the client. For Next.js applications using App Router, the "use client";
directive must be added.
/app/user-profile/[[...user-profile]]/page.tsx"use client"; import { UserProfile } from "@clerk/nextjs"; import { CustomProfilePage, CustomTerms } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon } from "../icons"; const UserProfilePage = () => ( <UserProfile path="/user-profile" routing="path"> <UserProfile.Page label="Custom Page" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />} url="custom-page"> <CustomProfilePage /> </UserProfile.Page> <UserProfile.Page label="Terms" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />} url="terms"> <CustomTerms /> </UserProfile.Page> </UserProfile> ); export default UserProfilePage;
/pages/user-profile/[[...index]].tsximport { UserProfile } from "@clerk/nextjs"; import { CustomProfilePage, CustomTerms } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon } from "../icons"; const UserProfilePage = () => ( <UserProfile path="/user-profile" routing="path"> <UserProfile.Page label="Custom Page" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />} url="custom-page"> <CustomProfilePage /> </UserProfile.Page> <UserProfile.Page label="Terms" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />} url="terms"> <CustomTerms /> </UserProfile.Page> </UserProfile> ); export default UserProfilePage;

Advanced use cases
Reordering default routes
If you want to reorder the default routes (Account
and Security
) in the UserProfile
navigation sidebar, you can use the <UserProfile.Page />
component with the label
prop set to 'account'
or 'security'
. This will target the existing default page and allow you to rearrange it.
Usage
<UserProfile.Page />
and <UserProfile.Link />
can be rendered only on the client. For Next.js applications using App Router, the "use client";
directive must be added.
/app/user-profile/[[...user-profile]]/page.tsx"use client"; import { UserProfile } from "@clerk/nextjs"; import { MyCustomPageContent } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon, Icon } from "../icons"; const UserProfilePage = () => ( <UserProfile path="/user-profile" routing="path"> <UserProfile.Page label="Custom Page" url="custom" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />}> <MyCustomPageContent /> </UserProfile.Page> <UserProfile.Link label="Homepage" url="/home" labelIcon={<Icon />} /> <UserProfile.Page label="account" /> <UserProfile.Page label="security" /> </UserProfile> ); export default UserProfilePage;
/pages/user-profile/[[...index]].tsximport { UserProfile } from "@clerk/nextjs"; import { MyCustomPageContent } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon, Icon } from "../icons"; const UserProfilePage = () => ( <UserProfile path="/user-profile" routing="path"> <UserProfile.Page label="Custom Page" url="custom" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />}> <MyCustomPageContent /> </UserProfile.Page> <UserProfile.Link label="Homepage" url="/home" labelIcon={<Icon />} /> <UserProfile.Page label="account" /> <UserProfile.Page label="security" /> </UserProfile> ); export default UserProfilePage;
/user-profile.tsximport { UserProfile } from "@clerk/clerk-react"; import { MyCustomPageContent } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon, Icon } from "../icons"; const UserProfilePage = () => ( <UserProfile path="/user-profile" routing="path"> <UserProfile.Page label="Custom Page" url="custom" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />}> <MyCustomPageContent /> </UserProfile.Page> <UserProfile.Link label="Homepage" url="/home" labelIcon={<Icon />} /> <UserProfile.Page label="account" /> <UserProfile.Page label="security" /> </UserProfile> ); export default UserProfilePage;
routes/user/$.tsximport { UserProfile } from "@clerk/remix"; import { MyCustomPageContent } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon, Icon } from "../icons"; export default function UserProfilePage() { return ( <UserProfile path="/user-profile" routing="path"> <UserProfile.Page label="Custom Page" url="custom" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />}> <MyCustomPageContent /> </UserProfile.Page> <UserProfile.Link label="Homepage" url="/home" labelIcon={<Icon />} /> <UserProfile.Page label="account" /> <UserProfile.Page label="security" /> </UserProfile> ); }
The above example will result in the following order:
- Custom Page
- Homepage
- Account
- Security
It's important to note that the first page in the list will be rendered under the root path /
(its url
will be ignored) and the Clerk pages will be rendered under the path /account
. Also, the first item in the list cannot be a <UserProfile.Link />
component.
Using custom pages with the <UserButton />
component
If you are using the <UserButton />
component with the default props (where the UserProfile
opens as a modal), then you should also be providing these custom pages as children to the component (using the <UserButton.UserProfilePage />
and <UserButton.UserProfileLink />
components respectively).
Usage
<UserButton.UserProfilePage />
and <UserButton.UserProfileLink />
can be rendered only on the client. For Next.js applications using App Router, the "use client";
directive must be added.
/app/components/Header.tsx"use client"; import { UserButton } from "@clerk/nextjs"; import { MyCustomPageContent } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon, Icon } from "../icons"; const Header = () => ( <header> <UserButton afterSignOutUrl='/'> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="Custom Page" url="custom" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />}> <MyCustomPageContent /> </UserButton.UserProfilePage> <UserButton.UserProfileLink label="Homepage" url="/home" labelIcon={<Icon />} /> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="account" /> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="security" /> </UserButton> </header> ); export default Header;
/pages/components/Header.tsximport { UserButton } from "@clerk/nextjs"; import { MyCustomPageContent } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon, Icon } from "../icons"; const Header = () => ( <header> <UserButton afterSignOutUrl='/'> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="Custom Page" url="custom" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />}> <MyCustomPageContent /> </UserButton.UserProfilePage> <UserButton.UserProfileLink label="Homepage" url="/home" labelIcon={<Icon />} /> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="account" /> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="security" /> </UserButton> </header> ); export default Header;
/components/Header.tsximport { UserButton } from "@clerk/clerk-react"; import { MyCustomPageContent } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon, Icon } from "../icons"; const Header = () => ( <header> <UserButton afterSignOutUrl='/'> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="Custom Page" url="custom" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />}> <MyCustomPageContent /> </UserButton.UserProfilePage> <UserButton.UserProfileLink label="Homepage" url="/home" labelIcon={<Icon />} /> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="account" /> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="security" /> </UserButton> </header> ); export default Header;
components/Header.tsximport { UserButton } from "@clerk/remix"; import { MyCustomPageContent } from "../components"; import { CustomIcon, Icon } from "../icons"; export default function Header() { return ( <header> <UserButton afterSignOutUrl='/'> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="Custom Page" url="custom" labelIcon={<CustomIcon />}> <MyCustomPageContent /> </UserButton.UserProfilePage> <UserButton.UserProfileLink label="Homepage" url="/home" labelIcon={<Icon />} /> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="account" /> <UserButton.UserProfilePage label="security" /> </UserButton> </header> ); }
This repetition of the same property can be avoided when the user is using the userProfileMode='navigation'
and userProfileUrl='<some url>'
props on the <UserButton />
component and has implemented a dedicated page for the <UserProfile />
component.
