fix(electron): Set SDK metadata and improve OAuth setup error by wobsoriano · Pull Request #10000 · clerk/javascript

wobsoriano · 2026-09-30T19:52:20Z

Description

OAuth sign-in without renderer in createClerkBridge() throws a Clerk error that asks for it, instead of Electron's "No handler registered" error.
ClerkProvider sets sdkMetadata, so telemetry reports @clerk/electron instead of @clerk/react.
Add a @clerk/electron/react/experimental entry point that re-exports @clerk/react/experimental.

Checklist

pnpm test runs as expected.
pnpm build runs as expected.
(If applicable) JSDoc comments have been added or updated for any package exports
(If applicable) Documentation has been updated

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Electron bridge now registers OAuth IPC handlers when renderer options are absent. Those handlers throw a Clerk error requesting renderer options and are removed during cleanup. The React provider supplies Electron package name and version as SDK metadata. The package also builds and exports @clerk/electron/react/experimental, which re-exports @clerk/react/experimental.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Suggested reviewers: jeremy-clerk

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a9cee

The change is mergeable with a small documentation follow-up: list the experimental import path in the package README so users can discover it.

List the experimental entrypoint in the package README.

The Electron docs overview and quickstart do not need to enumerate experimental exports. However, packages/electron/README.md says “The package has these entrypoints” and omits the newly exported @clerk/electron/react/experimental path. Add it to keep that list complete.

Suggested fix

- `@clerk/electron/react` runs in the renderer process. +- `@clerk/electron/react/experimental` re-exports the experimental React APIs. - `@clerk/electron/storage` is the default token storage, backed by `electron-store`.
