Usage
Using the VeChain dApp kit
1. Create the node options
1. Optional: Wallet Connect Options
import type { WalletConnectOptions } from '@vechain/dapp-kit';
const walletConnectOptions: WalletConnectOptions = {
// Create your project here: https://cloud.walletconnect.com/sign-up
projectId: '<PROJECT_ID>',
metadata: {
name: 'My dApp',
description: 'My dApp description',
// Your app URL
url: window.location.origin,
// Your app Icon
icons: [`${window.location.origin}/images/my-dapp-icon.png`],
},
};
2. Initialise the DAppKit
instance
DAppKit
instanceimport { DAppKit } from '@vechain/dapp-kit';
const {thor, vendor, wallet} = new DAppKit({
// Required - The URL of the node to connect to
nodeUrl: "https://sync-testnet.vechain.org/",
// Optional - "main" | "test" | Connex.Thor.Block
genesis: "test",
// Optional - Wallet connect options
walletConnectOptions: walletConnectOptions,
// Optional - Defaults to false. If true, account and source will be persisted in local storage
usePersistence: true,
// Optional - Use the first available wallet
useFirstDetectedSource: false,
// Optional - Log Level - To debug the library
logLevel: "DEBUG",
});
Wallet Manager
The wallet manager is the layer provided on top of connex
. It can be created following the usage above.
const {wallet, thor, connex} = new DAppKit(...)
Set the wallet source
Set the current wallet source. This step is necessary if
useFirstDetectedSource
was not provided as true.
import type { WalletSource } from '@vechain/dapp-kit';
// type WalletSource = 'wallet-connect' | 'veworld' | 'sync2' | 'sync';
const mySource: WalletSource = 'veworld';
wallet.setSource('veworld');
Connect
Connect to the selected wallet. The purpose of this is to improve the UX. For example, connecting a wallet via Wallet Connect involves switching applications multiple times. This will reduce the friction and create a better experience for the user.
This will connect to the user's wallet and return its address.
For certificate-based wallets, (eg. Sync2), this involves signing a signature
For other wallets, such as those using Wallet Connect, it will fetch the address without signing a certificate
The response will contain
verified
equal to true if the user signed a certificate
import { ConnectResponse } from '@vechain/dapp-kit'
const res: ConnectResponse = await wallet.connect()
console.log(res)
// { "address": "0x995711ADca070C8f6cC9ca98A5B9C5A99b8350b1","verified": true}
State
The wallet manager will have some fields in state for ease of use.
address
will be whatever address was retrieved when connecting, signing a certificate, or sending a transaction.
import { WalletManagerState } from '@vechain/dapp-kit'
const state: WalletManagerState = wallet.state
WalletManagerState:
account
- the address of the connected wallet. Null if not connectedsource
- the source of the currently selected wallet. Null if not selectedavailableWallets
- A list of available wallet sources
Subscribe to State
You can subscribe to state changes:
import { WalletManagerState } from '@vechain/dapp-kit'
const myListener = (newState: WalletManagerState) => {
console.log(newState)
}
//Start the subscription
const subscription = wallet.subscribe(myListener)
//End the subscription
subscription()
Subscribe to a single value in the state
You can also subscribe to a single value in the state:
import { WalletSource } from '@vechain/dapp-kit'
const myListener = (newWalletSource: WalletSource) => {
console.log(newWalletSource)
}
//Start the subscription
const subscription = wallet.subscribeToKey('source', myListener)
//End the subscription
subscription()
