Examples
With the Ethereum Provider, you can call JavaScript API specified in EIP-1193,
similar to calling MetaMask functions via window.ethereum
. For example,
1. Send a transaction
const provider = await connector.getProvider();
await provider.request({
method: 'eth_sendTransaction',
params: [
{
from: address, // The user's active address.
to: address, // Required except during contract publications.
value: '0xE8D4A50FFD41E', // Only required to send ether to the recipient from the initiating external account.
},
],
});
2. Switch chain
const provider = await connector.getProvider();
await provider.request({
method: 'wallet_switchEthereumChain',
params: [{ chainId: '0x61' }], // chainId must be in hexadecimal numbers
});
3. Sign a message
const provider = await connector.getProvider();
await provider.request({
method: 'personal_sign',
params: [address, 'test'],
});
or
const provider = await connector.getProvider();
await provider.request({
method: 'eth_signTypedData_v4',
params: [
address,
JSON.stringify({
domain: {
name: 'EPNS COMM V1',
chainId: 80001,
verifyingContract: '0xb3971BCef2D791bc4027BbfedFb47319A4AAaaAa',
},
primaryType: 'Data',
types: {
Data: [
{
name: 'data',
type: 'string',
},
],
EIP712Domain: [
{
name: 'name',
type: 'string',
},
{
name: 'chainId',
type: 'uint256',
},
{
name: 'verifyingContract',
type: 'address',
},
],
},
message: {
data: '2+{"notification":{"title":"Push Title Hello","body":"Good to see you bodies"},"data":{"acta":"","aimg":"","amsg":"Payload Push Title Hello Body","asub":"Payload Push Title Hello","type":"1"},"recipients":"eip155:5:0x6ed14ee482d3C4764C533f56B90360b767d21D5E"}',
},
}),
],
});
4. Call a smart contract function
import Web3 from 'web3';
const provider = await connector.getProvider();
// Create Web3 instance
const web3 = new Web3(provider); // use the provider from meteor.
const contract = new web3.eth.Contract(ABI, ADDRESS);
...
