The following example uses the useUser() hook to access the User object, which contains the current user's data such as their full name. The following example demonstrates how to use useUser() to check if the user is signed in and display their first name.

export default function Example() {
  const { isSignedIn, user, isLoaded } = useUser()

  // Use `isLoaded` to check if Clerk is loaded
  if (!isLoaded) {
    return <div>Loading...</div>
  }

  // Use `isSignedIn` to protect the content
  if (!isSignedIn) {
    return <div>Sign in to view this page</div>
  }

  // Use `user` to access the current user's data
  return <div>Hello {user.firstName}!</div>
}
