  • npm run build runs as expected.

Expose user.externalId field in frontend in backend SDKs.

The externalId is used during imports. If developers had an Auth0, Firebase, ... id and need to use that to reference the user after migrating to clerk they can store the value there via the Clerk backend API.

#180

ExternalId is used during imports.

An example usage is if they had an auth0_id, and need to use that to reference the user, instead of the clerk_id, then they put it there.
