@web3-onboard/core

This is the core package that contains all of the UI and logic to be able to seamlessly connect user's wallets to your app and track the state of those wallets. Onboard no longer contains any wallet specific code, so wallets need to be passed in upon initialization.

_Tip: Release 2.24.0 moves the default position of the account center from topRight to bottomRight. To reset your application to topRight, include the following when initializing onboard:_

``typescript
accountCenter: {
desktop: {
enabled: true,
position: 'topRight'
},
mobile: {
enabled: true,
position: 'topRight'
}
}
`

wallets
An array of wallet modules that you would like to be presented to the user to select from when connecting a wallet. A wallet module is an abstraction that allows for easy interaction without needing to know the specifics of how that wallet works and are separate packages that can be included. A list of wallet module packages that can be installed can be found here.

chains
An array of Chains that your app supports:

`typescript
type Chain = {
id: ChainId // hex encoded string, eg '0x1' for Ethereum Mainnet
namespace?: 'evm' // string indicating chain namespace. Defaults to 'evm' but will allow other chain namespaces in the future
// PLEASE NOTE: Some wallets require an rpcUrl, label, and token for actions such as adding a new chain.
// It is recommended to include rpcUrl, label, and token for full functionality.
rpcUrl?: string // Recommended to include. Used for network requests (eg Alchemy or Infura end point).
label?: string // Recommended to include. Used for display, eg Ethereum Mainnet.

protectedRpcUrl?: string //An optional protected RPC URL - Defaults to Blocknative's private RPC aggregator to allow users to update the chain RPC within their wallet, specifically for private RPCs that protect user transactions. More information can be found at https://docs.blocknative.com/blocknative-mev-protection/transaction-boost
}
interface SecondaryTokens {
/**
* Required - The onchain address of the token associated
* with the chain it is entered under
*/
address: string
/**
* An optional svg or url string for the icon of the token.
* If an svg is used ensure the height/width is set to 100%
*/
icon?: string
}
`

appMetadata
An object that defines your app:

`typescript
type AppMetadata = {
// app name
name: string
// SVG icon string, with height or width (whichever is larger) set to 100% or a valid image URL
// note: if using an emoji make sure to send base64 string
// Note: icon is displayed on both mobile AND desktop. If logo
// below is provided then icon displays on mobile and logo on desktop
icon: string
// Optional wide format logo (ie icon and text) to be displayed in the sidebar of connect modal. Defaults to icon if not provided
// Note: This will ONLY display on desktop. It is best used with wide format logos. Use icon for standard 40x40 icons.
logo?: string
// description of app

}

type RecommendedInjectedWallets = {
name: string // display name
url: string // link to download wallet
}
`

updateAppMetadata

If you need to update your Application Metadata after initialization, you can call the updateAppMetadata function with the new configuration

`typescript
onboard.state.actions.updateAppMetadata({
logo:
,
description: 'Updated Description!'
})
`

---

connect
An object that allows for customization of the Connect Modal and accepts the type ConnectModalOptions.

`typescript
type ConnectModalOptions = {
/**
* Display the connect modal sidebar - only applies to desktop views
*/
showSidebar?: boolean
/**
* Disabled close of the connect modal with background click and
* hides the close button forcing an action from the connect modal
* Defaults to false
*/
disableClose?: boolean
/**
* If set to true, the most recently connected wallet will store in
* local storage. Then on init, onboard will try to reconnect to
* that wallet with no modals displayed
*/
autoConnectLastWallet?: boolean
/**
* If set to true, all previously connected wallets will store in

* on the left panel of the connect modal
*/
removeIDontHaveAWalletInfoLink?: boolean
/**
* @deprecated Has no effect unless @web3-onboard/unstoppable-resolution
* package has been added and passed into the web3-onboard initialization
* In this case remove the @web3-onboard/unstoppable-resolution package
* to remove unstoppableDomain resolution support
*/
disableUDResolution?: boolean
}
`

theme
A string or an object that defines the color theme web3-onboard will render the components.
Define a custom or predefined theme for Web3Onboard using either:

- Native themes available: 'default', 'dark', 'light', 'system'
- ThemingMap object to create a totally custom theme - see below for the typing

Note: system will default to the theme set by the users system.

`typescript
type Theme = ThemingMap | BuiltInThemes | 'system'
type BuiltInThemes = 'default' | 'dark' | 'light'
type ThemingMap = {
'--w3o-background-color'?: string
'--w3o-font-family'?: string
'--w3o-foreground-color'?: string
'--w3o-text-color'?: string
'--w3o-border-color'?: string
'--w3o-action-color'?: string
'--w3o-border-radius'?: string
}
`

disableFontDownload
If set to true the default Inter font will not be imported and instead the web based sans-serif font will be used if a font is not defined through the Theme or exposed css variable.
To define the font use --w3o-font-family prop within the Theme initialization object or set as a css variable.

`typescript
type disableFontDownload = boolean // defaults to false
`

i18n
An object that defines the display text for different locales. Can also be used to override the default text. To override the default text, pass in a object for the en locale.
Currently there is built-in support for:
- English (en) - Default
- Simplified Chinese (zh)

`typescript
type Locale = string // eg 'en', 'zh', 'es'
type i18nOptions = Record
`

To see a list of all of the text values that can be internationalized or replaced, check out the default en file.
Onboard is using the ICU syntax for formatting under the hood.

For example, to update the connect interface language for Metamask, while giving a different message for other wallets, you can include the following:

`typescript
i18n: {
en: {
connect: {
connectingWallet: {
paragraph: '{wallet, select, MetaMask {{wallet} can only present one account, so connect just the one account you want.} other {Please connect to all of your accounts in {wallet}.}}'
}
}
}
}
`

MetaMask message:


All other wallets:


Default Message- with no i18n override:


containerElements
An object mapping for W3O components with the key being the DOM element to mount the specified component to.
This defines the DOM container element for svelte to attach the component.

NOTE: containerElement must be a DOM element with a styleSheet property attached and the element must be available on the DOM at the time of component mounting.
For an example please see containerElement usage here

`typescript
type ContainerElements = {
// When attaching the Connect Modal to a container el be aware that the modal was styled to be
// mounted through the app to the html body and will respond to screen width rather than container width
// This is specifically apparent on mobile so please test thoroughly
// Also consider that other DOM elements(specifically Notifications and Account Center) will also
// append to this DOM el if enabled and their own containerEl are not defined
connectModal?: string
// when using the accountCenter with a container el the accountCenter position properties are ignored
accountCenter?: string
}
`

accountCenter
An object that defines whether the account center UI (default and minimal) is enabled and it's position on the screen. Currently the account center is enabled for both desktop and mobile devices.

`typescript
type AccountCenter = {
enabled: boolean
position?: AccountCenterPosition // default: 'bottomRight'
expanded?: boolean // default: true
minimal?: boolean // enabled by default for mobile
/**
* Controls the visibility of the 'Enable Transaction Protection' button within the expanded Account Center.
* - When set to false (default), the button is visible.
* - When set to true, the button is hidden.
* This setting can be configured globally for the Account Center, or separately for different interfaces like desktop/mobile.
* defaults to docs.blocknative.com/blocknative-mev-protection/transaction-boost-alpha
* Use this property to override the default link to give users
* more information about transaction protection and the RPC be set
*/
transactionProtectionInfoLink?: string

/**
* @deprecated Use top level containerElements property
* with the accountCenter prop set to the desired container El
*/
containerElement?: string // defines the DOM container element for svelte to attach
}

type AccountCenterOptions = {
desktop: Omit
mobile: Omit
/**
* false by default - This allows removal of the
* Enable Transaction Protection' button within the Account Center
* expanded when set to true
* Can be set as a global for Account Center or per interface (desktop/mobile)
*/
hideTransactionProtectionBtn?: boolean
/**
* Controls the visibility of the 'Enable Transaction Protection' button within the expanded Account Center.
* - When set to false (default), the button is visible.
* - When set to true, the button is hidden.
* This setting can be configured globally for the Account Center, or separately for different interfaces like desktop/mobile.
* defaults to docs.blocknative.com/blocknative-mev-protection/transaction-boost-alpha

* more information about transaction protection and the RPC be set
*/
transactionProtectionInfoLink?: string
}

type AccountCenterPosition =
| 'topRight'
| 'bottomRight'
| 'bottomLeft'
| 'topLeft'
`

notify

Notify is a feature that provides DApps with the ability to send custom messages to the client. This document will provide you with an overview of Notify and guide you through the process of integrating it into your decentralized application (dapp). Check out the customNotifications API docs for examples and code snippets.

When switching chains, the previous chain listeners remain active for 60 seconds to allow the capture and report of any remaining transactions that may be in flight.

Notifications are by default positioned in the same location as the Account Center (if enabled) or can be positioned separately using the position property.

##### Notify Configuration

| Property | Type | Description |
| -------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| enabled | boolean | Indicates whether transaction notifications will be displayed |
| position | CommonPositions | Position of the notification on the screen |

##### Position Options

| Property | Type | Description |
| --------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| desktop | Notify | Configuration for desktop notifications. |
| mobile | Notify | Configuration for mobile notifications. |

Both desktop and mobile configurations are of type Notify.


##### Customizing Notification

| Property | Type | Description |
| ------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| message | string | Customizes the message shown |
| eventCode | string | Allows handling codes in a custom way |
| type | string | Represents the icon type displayed |
| autoDismiss | number | Time (in ms) after which the notification will be dismissed |
| link | string | Adds a link to the transaction hash |
| onClick | function | onClick handler for the notification element |

##### Styling Notify

Notify automatically will match the theme defined in the web3-onboard config. It can also be styled using the exposed css variables provided below. These variables allow for maximum customization with base styling variables setting the global theme (e.g., --onboard-grey-600) and more precise component-level styling variables available (--notify-onboard-grey-600). The latter takes precedence if defined.

##### Handling Notifications

If notifications are enabled, they can be fielded and handled through the onboard app state as seen in the example below - although this is not required for notifications to display:

`javascript
const wallets = onboard.state.select('notifications')
const { unsubscribe } = wallets.subscribe(update =>
console.log('transaction notifications: ', update)
)

// unsubscribe when updates are no longer needed
unsubscribe()
`

`javascript
const wallets = onboard.state.select('notifications')
const { unsubscribe } = wallets.subscribe(update =>
console.log('transaction notifications: ', update)
)

// unsubscribe when updates are no longer needed
unsubscribe()
`

`ts
type NotifyOptions = {
desktop: Notify
mobile: Notify
}
type Notify = {
enabled: boolean // default: true
position: CommonPositions
}

type CommonPositions = 'topRight' | 'bottomRight' | 'bottomLeft' | 'topLeft'

type CustomNotification = Partial>

type Notification = {
id: string
key: string
network: Network
startTime?: number
/**
* to completely customize the message shown
*/
message: string
/**
* handle codes in your own way - see codes here under the notify prop default en file here
*/
eventCode: string
/**
* icon type displayed (see NotificationType below for options)
*/
type: NotificationType
/**
* time (in ms) after which the notification will be dismissed. If set to 0 the notification will remain on screen until the user dismisses the notification, refreshes the page or navigates away from the site with the notifications
*/
autoDismiss: number
/**
* add link to the transaction hash. For instance, a link to the transaction on etherscan
*/
link?: string
/**
* onClick handler for when user clicks the notification element
*/
onClick?: (event: Event) => void
}

type NotificationType = 'pending' | 'success' | 'error' | 'hint'

declare type Network =
| 'main'
| 'sepolia'
| 'matic-main'
| 'matic-mumbai'
| 'local'

interface UpdateNotification {
(notificationObject: CustomNotification): {
dismiss: () => void
update: UpdateNotification
}
}
`

Initialization Example

Putting it all together, here is an example initialization with the injected wallet modules:

`javascript

Connecting a Wallet

To initiate a user to select and connect a wallet you can call the connectWallet function on an initialized Onboard instance. It will return a Promise that will resolve when the user either successfully connects a wallet, or when they dismiss the UI. The resolved value from the promise will be the latest state of the wallets array. The order of the wallets array is last to first, so the most recently selected wallet will be the first item in the array and can be thought of as the "primary wallet". If no wallet was selected, then the wallets array will have the same state as it had before calling connectWallet.

$3

`javascript
async function connectWallet() {
const wallets = await onboard.connectWallet()
console.log(wallets)
}

connectWallet()
`

$3

A common UX pattern is to remember the last wallet that a user has previously connected by storing it in localStorage and then automatically selecting them for the user next time they visit your app.
You can enable this in your app by using the autoConnectLastWallet parameter when initializing and Onboard will take care of it:

`javascript
const onboard = Onboard({
// ... other options
connect: {
autoConnectLastWallet: true
}
})
`

Disconnecting a Wallet

A wallet can be disconnected, which will cleanup any background operations the wallet may be doing and will also remove it from the Onboard wallets array:

`javascript
// disconnect the first wallet in the wallets array
const [primaryWallet] = onboard.state.get().wallets
await onboard.disconnectWallet({ label: primaryWallet.label })
`

The disconnectWallet method takes the wallet.label value and returns a Promise that resolves to the current state of the wallets array.

State

Onboard currently keeps track of the following state:

- wallets: The wallets connected to Onboard
- chains: The chains that Onboard has been initialized with
- accountCenter: The current state of the account center UI
- walletModules: The wallet modules that are currently set and will be rendered in the wallet selection modal

`typescript
type AppState = {
wallets: WalletState[]
chains: Chain[]
accountCenter: AccountCenter
walletModules: WalletModule[]
locale: Locale
notify: Notify
notifications: Notification[]
}

type Chain {
namespace?: 'evm'
id: ChainId
rpcUrl: string
label: string
token: TokenSymbol
color?: string
icon?: string
}

type WalletState = {
label: string
icon: string
provider: EIP1193Provider
accounts: Account[]
chains: ConnectedChain[]
instance?: unknown
/**
* WAGMI Connector object
* Can be used to leverage all WAGMI functions from
* the @web3-onboard/wagmi module
* See https://www.npmjs.com/package/@web3-onboard/wagmi for more details
*/
wagmiConnector?: Connector}

type Account = {
address: string
ens: {
name?: string
avatar?: string
contentHash?: string
getText?: (key: string) => Promise
}
uns: {
name?: string
}
balance: Record
}

type ConnectedChain = {
namespace: 'evm'
id: ChainId
}

type ChainId = string
type TokenSymbol = string

type AccountCenter = {
enabled: boolean
position: AccountCenterPosition
expanded: boolean
minimal: boolean
}

type AccountCenterPosition =
| 'topRight'
| 'bottomRight'
| 'bottomLeft'
| 'topLeft'

type WalletModule {
label: string
getIcon: () => Promise
getInterface: (helpers: GetInterfaceHelpers) => Promise
}
`

$3

The current state of Onboard can be accessed at any time using the state.get() method:

`javascript
const currentState = onboard.state.get()
`

$3

State can also be subscribed to using the state.select() method. The select method will return an RXJS Observable. Understanding of RXJS observables is not necessary to subscribe to state updates, but allows for composable functionality if wanted. The key point to understand is that if you subscribe for updates, remember to unsubscribe when you are finished to prevent memory leaks.

To subscribe to all state updates, call the select method with no arguments:

`javascript
const state = onboard.state.select()
const { unsubscribe } = state.subscribe(update =>
console.log('state update: ', update)
)

// remember to unsubscribe when updates are no longer needed
// unsubscribe()
`

Specific top level slices of state can be subscribed to. For example you may want to just subscribe to receive updates to the wallets array only:

`javascript
const wallets = onboard.state.select('wallets')
const { unsubscribe } = wallets.subscribe(update =>
console.log('wallets update: ', update)
)

// unsubscribe when updates are no longer needed
unsubscribe()
`

$3

A limited subset of internal actions are exposed to update the Onboard state.

setWalletModules
For updating the wallets that are displayed in the wallet selection modal. This can be used if the wallets you want to support is conditional on another user action within your app. The setWalletModules action is called with an updated array of wallets (the same wallets that are passed in on initialization)

`typescript
import Onboard from '@web3-onboard/core'
import injectedModule from '@web3-onboard/injected-wallets'
import ledgerModule from '@web3-onboard/ledger'
import trezorModule from '@web3-onboard/trezor'

const injected = injectedModule()
const ledger = ledgerModule()
const trezor = trezorModule({
email: '',
appUrl: ''
})

// initialize with injected and hardware wallets
const onboard = Onboard({
wallets: [injected, trezor, ledger],
chains: [
{
id: '0x1',
token: 'ETH',
label: 'Ethereum Mainnet',
// Only one RPC required
rpcUrl:
https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/${INFURA_KEY} ||
https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/${ALCHEMY_KEY}
},
{
id: '0x2105',
token: 'ETH',
label: 'Base',
rpcUrl: 'https://mainnet.base.org'
}
]
})

// then after a user action, you may decide to only display hardware wallets on the next call to onboard.connectWallet
onboard.state.actions.setWalletModules([ledger, trezor])
`

updateTheme
An exposed method for updating the theme of web3-onboard. The function accepts Theme types (see below)

Available native themes include:
| | |
| --- | ----------- |
| 'default' | a mix of light and dark elements found throughout the web3-onboard components |
| 'dark' | modern look - easy on the eyes in low-light settings |
| 'light' | bright and clean look - easier to read in bright environments |
| 'system' | automatically switch between 'dark' & 'light' based on the user's system settings |

The function also accepts a custom built ThemingMap object that contains all or some of the theming variables

Example:

`typescript
import Onboard from '@web3-onboard/core'
import injectedModule from '@web3-onboard/injected-wallets'

const injected = injectedModule()

const onboard = Onboard({
theme: 'dark',
wallets: [injected],
chains: [
{
id: '0x1',
token: 'ETH',
label: 'Ethereum Mainnet',
rpcUrl: https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/${INFURA_KEY}
}
]
})

// after initialization you may want to change the theme based on a theme switch within the dapp
onboard.state.actions.updateTheme('light')
// or
const customTheme: ThemingMap = {
'--w3o-background-color': '#f0f0f0',
'--w3o-foreground-color': '#333',
'--w3o-text-color': '#fff',
'--w3o-border-color': '#ccc',
'--w3o-action-color': '#007bff'
}
onboard.state.actions.updateTheme(customTheme)
`

`typescript
type Theme = ThemingMap | BuiltInThemes | 'system'

type BuiltInThemes = 'default' | 'dark' | 'light'

type ThemingMap = {
'--w3o-background-color'?: string
'--w3o-foreground-color'?: string
'--w3o-text-color'?: string
'--w3o-border-color'?: string
'--w3o-action-color'?: string
'--w3o-border-radius'?: string
}
`

updateBalances
You may decide to get updated balances for connected wallets after a user action by calling the updatedBalances function, which expects a conditional array of addresses:

`javascript
onboard.state.actions.updateBalances() // update all balances for all connected addresses
onboard.state.actions.updateBalances(['0xfdadfadsadsadsadasdsa']) // update balance for one address
onboard.state.actions.updateBalances([
'0xfdadfadsadsadsadasdsa',
'0xfdsafdsfdsfdsfds'
]) // update balance for two addresses
`

setLocale
Onboard will automatically detect the browser locale at runtime, but if you would like to update it manually you can call the setLocale function:

`javascript
onboard.state.actions.setLocal('fr_FR')
`

updateNotify
If you need to update your notify configuration after initialization, you can do that by calling the updateNotify function:

`javascript
onboard.state.actions.updateNotify({
desktop: {
enabled: true,
position: 'bottomLeft'
},
mobile: {
enabled: true,
position: 'topRight'
}
})
`

customNotification

Notify can be used to deliver custom DApp notifications by passing a CustomNotification object to the customNotification action. This will return an UpdateNotification type.
This UpdateNotification will return an update function that can be passed a new CustomNotification to update the existing notification.
The customNotification method also returns a dismiss method that is called without any parameters to dismiss the notification.

| Property | Type | Description |
| ------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| message | string | Customizes the message shown |
| eventCode | string | Allows handling codes in a custom way |
| type | string | Represents the icon type displayed |
| autoDismiss | number | Time (in ms) after which the notification will be dismissed |
| link | string | Adds a link to the transaction hash |
| onClick | function | onClick handler for the notification element |

updateAccountCenter
If you need to update your Account Center configuration after initialization, you can call the updateAccountCenter function with the new configuration

`typescript
onboard.state.actions.updateAccountCenter({
position: 'topRight',
enabled: true,
minimal: true
})
`

setPrimaryWallet
The primary wallet (first in the list of connected wallets) and primary account (first in the list of connected accounts for a wallet) can be set by using the setPrimaryWallet function. The wallet that is set needs to be passed in for the first parameter and if you would like to set the primary account, the address of that account also needs to be passed in:

`typescript
// set the second wallet in the wallets array as the primary
onboard.state.actions.setPrimaryWallet(wallets[1])

// set the second wallet in the wallets array as the primary wallet
// as well as setting the third account in that wallet as the primary account
onboard.state.actions.setPrimaryWallet(
wallets[1],
wallets[1].accounts[2].address
)
`

Setting the User's Chain/Network

When initializing Onboard you define a list of chains/networks that your app supports. If you would like to prompt the user to switch to one of those chains, you can use the setChain method on an initialized instance of Onboard:

`typescript
type SetChain = (options: SetChainOptions) => Promise
type SetChainOptions = {
chainId: string // hex encoded string
chainNamespace?: 'evm' // defaults to 'evm' (currently the only valid value, but will add more in future updates)
wallet?: string // the wallet.label of the wallet to set chain
rpcUrl?: string // if chain was instantiated without rpcUrl, include here. Used for network requests
token?: string // if chain was instantiated without token, include here. Used for display, eg Ethereum Mainnet
label?: string // if chain was instantiated without label, include here. The native token symbol, eg ETH, BNB, MATIC
}

const success = await onboard.setChain({ chainId: '0x89' })
`

The setChain methods takes an options object with a chainId property hex encoded string for the chain id to switch to. The chain id must be one of the chains that Onboard was initialized with. If the wallet supports programatically adding and switching the chain, then the user will be prompted to do so, if not, then a modal will be displayed indicating to the user that they need to switch chains to continue. The setChain method returns a promise that resolves when either the user has confirmed the chain switch, or has dismissed the modal and resolves with a boolean indicating if the switch network was successful or not. The setChain method will by default switch the first wallet (the most recently connected) in the wallets array. A specific wallet can be targeted by passing in the wallet.label in the options object as the wallet parameter. If a chain was instantiated without an rpcUrl, token, or label, add these options for wallets that require this information for adding a new chain.

Custom Styling

The Onboard styles can customized via CSS variables. The following properties and their default properties can be customized by adding these variables to the :root in your CSS file:

Build Environments

Many of the wallet modules require dependencies that are not normally included in browser builds (namely the node builtin modules such as crypto, buffer, util etc). If you are having build issues you can try the following bundler configs to resolve these dependency issues:

$3

Everything should just work since the node built-ins are automatically bundled in v4

$3

You'll need to add some dev dependencies with the following command:

npm i --save-dev assert buffer crypto-browserify stream-http https-browserify os-browserify process stream-browserify util browserify-zlib

Then add the following to your webpack.config.js file:

`javascript
const webpack = require('webpack')

module.exports = {
fallback: {
path: require.resolve('path-browserify'),
zlib: require.resolve('browserify-zlib')
},
resolve: {
alias: {
assert: 'assert',
buffer: 'buffer',
crypto: 'crypto-browserify',
http: 'stream-http',
https: 'https-browserify',
os: 'os-browserify/browser',
process: 'process/browser',
stream: 'stream-browserify',
util: 'util'
}
},
experiments: {
asyncWebAssembly: true
},
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
process: 'process/browser',
Buffer: ['buffer', 'Buffer']
})
]
}
`

#### If using create-react-app

CRACO provides a way to override webpack config which is obfuscated in Create React App built applications.

The above webpack 5 example can be used in the craco.config.js file at the root level in this case.

React App Rewired is another option for working with Create React App DApps

Add the following dev dependencies:

yarn add rollup-plugin-polyfill-node webpack-bundle-analyzer browserify-zlib -D

`javascript
const webpack = require('webpack')
const { BundleAnalyzerPlugin } = require('webpack-bundle-analyzer')
const path = require('path')

module.exports = function override(config) {
const fallback = config.resolve.fallback || {}
Object.assign(fallback, {
assert: require.resolve('assert'),
buffer: require.resolve('buffer'),
crypto: require.resolve('crypto-browserify'),
http: require.resolve('stream-http'),
https: require.resolve('https-browserify'),
os: require.resolve('os-browserify/browser'),
path: require.resolve('path-browserify'),
zlib: require.resolve('browserify-zlib'),
process: require.resolve('process/browser'),
stream: require.resolve('stream-browserify'),
url: require.resolve('url'),
util: require.resolve('util')
})
config.resolve.fallback = fallback
config.resolve.alias = {
...config.resolve.alias,
'bn.js': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/bn.js'),
lodash: path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/lodash'),
'magic-sdk': path.resolve(
__dirname,
'node_modules/magic-sdk/dist/cjs/index.js'
)
}
config.plugins = (config.plugins || []).concat([
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
process: 'process/browser',
Buffer: ['buffer', 'Buffer']
}),
new webpack.IgnorePlugin({
resourceRegExp: /genesisStates\/[a-z]*\.json$/,
contextRegExp: /@ethereumjs\/common/
}),
new BundleAnalyzerPlugin({
analyzerMode: 'disabled'
})
])
config.ignoreWarnings = [/Failed to parse source map/]
config.module.rules.push({
test: /\.(js|mjs|jsx)$/,
enforce: 'pre',
loader: require.resolve('source-map-loader'),
resolve: {
fullySpecified: false
}
})
return config
}
`

If an error presents around window being undefined remove the define.global block.
Add this to your app.html

##### Buffer polyfill

It seems some component or dependency requires Node's Buffer. To polyfill this, the simplest way I could find was to install the buffer package and include the following in web3-onboard.ts:

`javascript
import { Buffer } from 'buffer'
globalThis.Buffer = Buffer
`

Package Managers

$3

Web3-Onboard will work out of the box with npm and yarn support.

$3

We have had issues reported when using pnpm as the package manager when working with web3-onboard.
As we work to understand this new manager more and the issues around it we recommend using npm or yarn` for now.
