3box-react-hooks v2.0.1

3box-react-hooks

React hooks wrapping 3box API

Changelog

2.0.0 has a new API that is more in line with the 3box API. The new version also enables more lightweight builds with 3box-react-hooks/dist/api.

Installation

npm i -S 3box-react-hooks

Api

Delayed box and space

Delayed hooks can be used to postpone authentication. For example if a box should be opened when the user presses an authentication button. The return value from the hooks contains box/space which is null until authenticated and open which is a function that opens the box/space.

If the box and spaces are supposed to be opened at the same time, only the box needs to be delayed since the space waits for box to not be null before opening. There's an example below.

Optimize build for read-only operations

useProfile and usePublicSpace can be used by importing 3box-react-hooks/dist/api for a more lightweight build.

Example

import { useProfile, useBox, useSpace } from '3box-react-hooks';

const MyComponent = (props) => {
  const address = '0x88E146E0fd0F5AaCbc4f94365dF9f599A90139F1';
  const profile = useProfile(address);
  const box = useBox(address, window.ethereum);
  const space = useSpace('exampleSpace', box);

  const email = await box.private.get('email');
  const spaceValue = await space.private.get('key');

  return (
    <>
      <div>{profile.emoji}</div>
      <div>{email}</div>
      <div>{spaceValue}</div>
    </>
  );
}

Delayed box and space

import { useDelayedBox, useSpace } from '3box-react-hooks';

const MyComponent = (props) => {
  const address = '0x88E146E0fd0F5AaCbc4f94365dF9f599A90139F1';
  const [box, open] = useDelayedBox(address, window.ethereum);
  const space = useSpace('exampleSpace', box);

  const email = await box.private.get('email');
  const spaceValue = await space.private.get('key');

  return (
    <>
      <div>{email}</div>
      <div>{spaceValue}</div>
      <button onClick={open}>Authenticate</button>
    </>
  );
}
