Hi, I don't need help I just wanted to ask about weather a clerk integration will be coming or not since I have read Tessa say last year that you met the clerk team and are discussing an integration.
I had to implement a custom token auth just to get clerk working with my system and its not exactly the best yk.
As always
Thank you appwrite.

why do you want to use clerk?
plucky pebble
why do you want to use clerk?
well first of all because I originally used it in my application, second of all clerk clears my mind and just handles everything from users to middleware. and I just like clerk I guess.
but why would you ask why do I want to use clerk, I think alot of people like to use clerk for easier auth and better security etc.
Not saying anything about appwrite, I do have 2 other projects using appwrite's auth still, one with ssr login too.
But this application is a bit complex and big and does have alot of collaboration thats why.
plus that I already have clients using the application so it would be a little painful to move off of clerk now.

well first of all because I originally used it in my application, second of all ...
just trying to understand what makes it easier
They have components that you can throw in that handle the auth, right? i know that makes things easier
the middleware part is good to know too
plucky pebble
Yeah much like that
ripe locust
interesting that Next.js says to not rely on middleware for auth, though

Yeah that is pretty interesting thats why I always have 2 layers nowadays
Aside from that "and please don't get me wrong" other services like convex, supabase do have clerk integration.
I just thought that it was famous for everyone I guess
I do understand that appwrite is in beta that's why I just asked if its planned or not didn't request it :).
ripe locust

it is planned. We're working on another integration at the moment, but i believe the clerk integration is next.
Taking a quick look...It looks like Clerk can be configured as an Identity provider. So you can see if you can set up an OIDC provider in Appwrite and use Clerk

Oh! alrighht didn't know about this that's interesting I'll be taking a look for sure, sorry for the trouble and thanks always I love appwrite and especially the community its all great.

no trouble at all. it was helpful to get your insight!

so this approach will let you re-use the users in Clerk, but you wouldn't be able to use Clerk's components and middleware because you would need to do the auth using account.createOAuth2Session() or account.createOAuth2Token()
plucky pebble
Yeah I have been testing just now and I set it up on both sides but I did get an error with that description
The state is missing or does not have enough characters and is therefore considered too weak. Request parameter 'state' must be at least be 8 characters long to ensure sufficient entropy.

ya...i saw that once...but then i tried it again and it worked 🤷🏼♂️
plucky pebble
okay I think it worked even though the redirection didn't still function but I guess it'll work.
one more interseting part clerk components and middleware etc.. do actually work.

thats what i thought do but I do have

I didnt save the file...
ehh whatever man it works...
yeah it looks like it does make a session on both sides so you still need to logout on both sdks appwrite's and clerk's, but thats fine because I can use the middleware and the components
Thanks for the help Steven really made my day here
