Handling requests with Gatsby

Gatsby Functions

Gatsby Functions provides an Express-like architecture that simplifies building Node.js APIs.

So, Gatsby Functions can use the ClerkExpressWithAuth and ClerkExpressRequireAuth middlewares from the Clerk Node SDK as shown below.

1
import { ClerkExpressRequireAuth } from '@clerk/clerk-sdk-node';
2

3
const requireAuth = ClerkExpressRequireAuth();
4

5
export default async function clerkHandler(req, res) {
6
  await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
7
    requireAuth(req, res, result => {
8
      if (result instanceof Error) {
9
        reject(result);
10
      }
11

12
      resolve(result);
13
    });
14
  })
15

16
  res.json(`Hi from Gatsby Functions`)
17
}
