getMembershipRequests()

Organization membership requests

These methods on the Organization object allow you to manage the membership requests for an organization.

The following examples assume:

you have followed the quickstart in order to add Clerk to your JavaScript application
you have enabled the Organizations feature in your Clerk Dashboard
you have enabled Verified domains and Automatic suggestion for your organization

`getMembershipRequests()`

function getMembershipRequests: (params?: GetMembershipRequestParams) => Promise<ClerkPaginatedResponse<OrganizationMembershipRequestResource>>;

`GetMembershipRequestParams`

`getMembershipRequests()` returns

Type	Description
`Promise<ClerkPaginatedResponse<OrganizationMembershipRequestResource>>`	This method returns a `Promise` that resolves to a `ClerkPaginatedResponse` of `OrganizationMembershipRequest` objects.

The following example demonstrates how to use the getMembershipRequests() method to render a table of membership requests for the active organization. To ease the development process, the response or error message of a method will be displayed on the user interface.

NPM module

For the following example, your HTML file should look like this:

index.html

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/vite.svg" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Clerk + JavaScript App</title>
    <style>
      /* Style for the table */
      table {
        border-collapse: collapse; /* Collapse borders into a single border */
        border: 1px solid black; /* Border for the entire table */
      }
      /* Style for table cells */
      td,
      th {
        border: 1px solid black; /* Border for each cell */
        padding: 2px; /* Optional: Add padding to cells */
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="app"></div>

    <p id="error-container" hidden>
      Error:
      <span id="error-message"></span>
    </p>

    <h2>Membership Requests</h2>
    <table id="requests_table">
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>User ID</th>
          <th>Identifier</th>
          <th>Status</th>
          <th id="add-member-head" hidden>Add member</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody id="requests_table_body"></tbody>
    </table>

    <p>Response:</p>
    <pre id="response"></pre>

    <script type="module" src="/main.js"></script>
