React Web App

Mesh provide a collection of useful UI components, so you can easily include web3 functionality and convenient utilities for your application.

To start, install mesh-react:

npm install @meshsdk/react

Next, let's add MeshProvider to the root of the application. React Context allows apps to share data across the app, and MeshProvider allows your app to subscribe to context changes.

import { MeshProvider } from "@meshsdk/react";

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
  return (
    <MeshProvider>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </MeshProvider>
  );
};

UI Components​

In order for dApps to communicate with the user's wallet, we need a way to connect to their wallet.

Add this CardanoWallet to allow the user to select a wallet to connect to your dApp. After the wallet is connected, see Browser Wallet for a list of CIP-30 APIs.

import { CardanoWallet } from '@meshsdk/react';

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <>
      <CardanoWallet />
    </>
  );
}

Browse all UI Components provided by Mesh to start building web3 applications, interact with your contracts using your wallets.

Wallet Hooks​

In a React application, Hooks allows you to extract and reuse stateful logic and variables without changing your component hierarchy. This makes it easy to reuse the same Hook among many components. You can try each of these hooks on Mesh Playground.

useWalletList​

Returns a list of wallets installed on user's device.

import { useWalletList } from '@meshsdk/react';

export default function Page() {
  const wallets = useWalletList();

  return (
    <>
      {wallets.map((wallet, i) => {
        return (
          <p key={i}>
            <img src={wallet.icon} style={{ width: '48px' }} />
            <b>{wallet.name}</b>
          </p>
        );
      })}
    </>
  );
}

useAddress​

Return address of connected wallet.

import { useAddress } from '@meshsdk/react';

export default function Page() {
  const address = useAddress();

  return (
    <div><p>Your wallet address is: <code>{address}</code></p></div>
  );
}

useAssets​

Return a list of assets in connected wallet from all UTXOs.

import { useAssets } from '@meshsdk/react';

export default function Page() {
  const assets = useAssets();

  return (
    <ol>
      {assets &&
        assets.slice(0, 10).map((asset, i) => {
          return (
            <li key={i}>
              <b>{asset.assetName}</b> (x{asset.quantity})
            </li>
          );
        })}
    </ol>
  );
}

useLovelace​

Return amount of lovelace in wallet.

import { useLovelace } from '@meshsdk/react';

export default function Page() {
  const lovelace = useLovelace();

  return (
    <div>
      <p>You have <b>₳ {parseInt(lovelace) / 1000000}</b>.</p>
    </div>
  );
}

useNetwork​

Return the network of connected wallet.

import { useNetwork } from '@meshsdk/react';

export default function Page() {
  const network = useNetwork();

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Connected network: <b>{network}</b>.</p>
    </div>
  );
}

useWallet​

Provide information on the current wallet's state, and functions for connecting and disconnecting user wallet.

import { useWallet } from '@meshsdk/react';

export default function Page() {
  const { wallet, connected, name, connecting, connect, disconnect, error } = useWallet();

  return (
    <div>
      <p>
        <b>Connected?: </b> {connected ? 'Is connected' : 'Not connected'}
      </p>
      <p>
        <b>Connecting wallet?: </b> {connecting ? 'Connecting...' : 'No'}
      </p>
      <p>
        <b>Name of connected wallet: </b>
        {name}
      </p>
      <button onClick={() => disconnect()}>Disconnect Wallet</button>
    </div>
  );
}
