@memester-xyz/lens-use v0.1.1

Standing on the shoulders of these chads (aka, dependencies):

• Apollo GraphQL
• wagmi
• ethers

Jump straight to the Hooks Reference

Example

const { data: profileResponse } = useProfile("stani.lens");

const { data: publicationsResponse } = usePublications(profileResponse?.profile?.id);

const { collect } = useCollect(publicationsResponse?.publications?.items[0].id);

const onClick = () => {
  collect();
};

Installation

# npm
npm install --save @memester-xyz/lens-use

# yarn
yarn add @memester-xyz/lens-use

# pnpm
pnpm add @memester-xyz/lens-use

Usage

Basic

1. Your app must first be wrapped in a Wagmi context and a Apollo context (connected to the Lens API). e.g.:

function App() {
  return (
    <WagmiConfig client={client}>
      <ApolloProvider client={apolloClient}>
        <DApp />
      </ApolloProvider>
    </WagmiConfig>
  );
}

2. You can then use the Lens hooks in any components inside of your DApp component:

import { useProfile } from "@memester-xyz/lens-use";

// ...

const { data } = useProfile("stani.lens");

3. The return value of any API hook (e.g. useProfile, useChallenge) is a typed Apollo GraphQL return value. i.e.

   • QueryResult for queries
   • MutationTuple for mutations.

4. The return value of any contract hook (e.g. useContractProfile, useContractCollect) is a modification of a normal Wagmi useContractRead or useContractWrite.

5. The return value of any action hook (e.g. useCollect) is an object containing:

   • a write method with the same name as the hook action (e.g. collect())
   • a loading boolean when the request is in flight loading
   • an Error object or undefined error

Full API specification is below in the hooks section.

Advanced

By default we use the currently known Polygon Mainnet Lens Hub Proxy address. There are two ways to override this but both require adding our LensProvider context to your app.

1. You can use the currently known Mumbai (testnet) address:

function App() {
  return (
    <WagmiConfig client={client}>
      <ApolloProvider client={apolloClient}>
        <LensProvider network="testnet">
          <DApp />
        </LensProvider>
      </ApolloProvider>
    </WagmiConfig>
  );
}

2. You can pass a custom Lens Hub contract address:

function App() {
  return (
    <WagmiConfig client={client}>
      <ApolloProvider client={apolloClient}>
        <LensProvider lensHubAddress="0x...">
          <DApp />
        </LensProvider>
      </ApolloProvider>
    </WagmiConfig>
  );
}

Login

Hooks to help with authenticating against the Lens API.

useChallenge

Lens Reference

Get a challenge to be signed by the user

const { data: challengeData } = useChallenge(address);

// challengeData.challenge.text must be signed by the user's wallet

useAuthenticate

Lens Reference

Authenticate the signed challenge

const [authenticate, { data: authenticateData }] = useAuthenticate(address, signedChallenge);

// Call this method to start the authentication request
authenticate();

// After the request is complete
// authenticateData.authenticate.accessToken has acccess token
// authenticateData.authenticate.refreshToken has refresh token

useRefresh

Lens Reference

Refresh the JWT

const [refresh, { data: refreshData }] = useRefresh(refreshToken);

// Call this method to start the refresh request
refresh();

// After the request is complete
// refreshData.refresh.accessToken has acccess token
// refreshData.refresh.refreshToken has refresh token

Query

Hooks to query the Lens API. Note, some of these require authentication, check the Lens Reference.

useProfile

Lens Reference

Get a profile by handle

const { data } = useProfile(handle);

useProfiles

Lens Reference

Get all profiles owned by an address

const { data } = useProfiles(address);

useDefaultProfile

Lens Reference

Get default profile by address

const defaultProfile = useDefaultProfile(address);

useProfilePicture

The response body from useProfile and useDefaultProfile is slightly different, so this method helps to pull out the profile picture from one of those.

const defaultProfile = useDefaultProfile(address);
const pfpURL = useProfilePicture(defaultProfile);

useProfileHasDispatcher

A simple utility which returns true if the profile has the dispatcher enabled.

const dispatch = useProfileHasDispatcher(profileId);

usePublication

Lens Reference

Retrieve details for a specific publication

const { data } = usePublication(publicationId);

// Pass in profileId to get the mirrored status in your publication results
const { data } = usePublication(publicationId, profileId);

usePublications

Lens Reference

Retrieve publications based on various parameters

// Get posts from a specific profile
const { data } = usePublications(profileId);

// Get posts and comments from a specific profile
const { data } = usePublications(profileId, [PublicationType.POST, PublicationType.COMMENT]);

// Get posts from a specific profile and source
const { data } = usePublications(profileId, [PublicationType.POST], ["memester"]);

usePublicationComments

Lens Reference

Retrieve publications based on various parameters

// Get comments for a specific publication
const { data } = usePublicationComments(publicationId);

useSearch

Lens Reference

Search profiles

const { data } = useSearch("stani");

Write

Hooks to write to Lens using the dispatcher if enabled or the broadcaster if not. Note, your Apollo GraphQL client must be authenticated!

All write hooks take an optional final parameter which allows you to specify callback functions. An example is given for useCollect but the same applies to all hooks in this section.

useCollect

Collect a publication using the API

const { collect, loading, error } = useCollect(publicationId);

// Call this method to start the collect request
collect();

// You can also pass in callback functions
const { collect, loading, error } = useCollect(publicationId, {
  onBroadcasted(receipt) {
    // ...
  },
  onCompleted(receipt) {
    // receipt will be undefined if the request errored for some reason
  },
});

useComment

Comment on a publication. Requires a URL with the comment metadata already uploaded

const { collect, loading, error } = useComment(profileId, publicationId, commentURL);

// Call this method to start the comment request
comment();

useFollow

Follow a profile

const { follow, loading, error } = useFollow(profileIdToFollow);

// Call this method to start the follow request
follow();

useUnfollow

Unfollow a profile

const { unfollow, loading, error } = useUnfollow(profileIdToUnfollow);

// Call this method to start the unfollow request
unfollow();

useMirror

Mirror a publication

const { mirror, loading, error } = useMirror(profileId, publicationId);

// Call this method to start the mirror request
mirror();

usePost

Post. Requires a URL with the post metadata already uploaded

const { post, loading, error } = usePost(profileId, postURL);

// Call this method to start the post request
post();
