Installation

With NPM

npm install @myetherwallet/mewconnect-web-client

Setup Instance

import MEWconnect from "@myetherwallet/mewconnect-web-client"
import Web3 from "web3"

const CHAIN_ID = 1

Initialize the client

export const mewConnect = new MEWconnect.Provider([options])

MEWconnect.Provider options

Initialize a Web3 Provider object

export const ethereumProvider = mewConnect.makeWeb3Provider([chainId, rpcUrl, noUrlCheck])

Initialize a Web3 instance

export const web3 = new Web3(ethereumProvider)

Initiate connection and get Ethereum address

The following code should run in response to a user-initiated action such as clicking a button to ensure the pop up is not blocked by the browser.

you can use ethereum.enable()

ethereum.enable().then((accounts) => {
  console.log(`User's address is ${accounts[0]}`)
})

Or you can use eth_requestAccounts

ethereum.send("eth_requestAccounts").then((accounts) => {
  console.log(`User's address is ${accounts[0]}`)
})

That’s it! Once the connection between the phone and the site is established, the Web3 object (web3) and the Web3 Provider (ethereum) are ready to be used as usual.

Alternatively, a node rpc url may be supplied

  • Note: only websocket urls are supported.
import MEWconnect from "@myetherwallet/mewconnect-web-client"
import Web3 from "web3"

const ETH_JSONRPC_URL = "wss://mainnet.infura.io/v3/<YOUR_INFURA_API_KEY>"
const CHAIN_ID = 1

// Initialize MEWconnect
export const mewConnect = new MEWconnect.Provider([options])

// Initialize a Web3 Provider object
export const ethereum = mewConnect.makeWeb3Provider([chainId, rpcUrl, noUrlCheck])

// Initialize a Web3 object
export const web3 = new Web3(ethereum)
