Quick Start

Get started quickly with TransactionKit

View or fork now on CodeSandbox

The Quick Start below is available as a well documented, fully functioning live example on CodeSandbox.
Otherwise, please keep following the instructions below.

Install

Lets start by installing TransactionKit and Ethers
npm i @etherspot/transaction-kit [email protected]5.4.0
// or
yarn add @etherspot/transaction-kit [email protected]5.4.0

Create a Web3 Provider

A Web3 provider ultimately provides access to blockchain account, also known as a wallet.
For the Quick Start example, we will randomly generate a Web3 Provider.
import { EtherspotUi } from '@etherspot/transaction-kit';
import { ethers } from 'ethers';
// ...
const randomWallet = ethers.Wallet.createRandom();
const providerWallet = new ethers.Wallet(randomWallet.privateKey);

Wrap your <App /> with <EtherspotUi />

Wrap your React <App /> tag in the <EtherspotUi /> tag. This will turbocharge your React app with the power of Etherspot and everything that the platform can offer.
index.tsx
root.render(
<React.StrictMode>
<EtherspotUi
provider={providerWallet} /* The random wallet we created above */
chainId={'80001'} /* Polygon Testnet - Mumbai */
>
<App />
</EtherspotUi>
</React.StrictMode>
);
Get yourself some Polygon Mumbai Testnet funds
In order to execute a transaction, you need to fund your randomly created account with Test MATIC, the native token on Polygon Mumbai. You can get some for free below.

Build a UI

We're going to start with a simple example - sending some MATIC to another address. TransactionKit makes this really, really easy. Have a look at the code below.
import {
EtherspotBatches,
EtherspotBatch,
EtherspotTransaction,
useEtherspotUi,
} from '@etherspot/transaction-kit';
// In your main function body...
const { estimate, send } = useEtherspotUi();
const etherspotAddresses = useEtherspotAddresses();
const [address, setAddress] = useState('0x271Ae6E03257264F0F7cb03506b12A027Ec53B31');
const [amount, setAmount] = useState('0.001');
// In your rendering function...
<EtherspotBatches>
<EtherspotBatch>
<EtherspotTransaction
to={address}
value={amount}
>
{/* The following returns a list of Blockchain
addresses that are ready to use */}
{
etherspotAddresses.map((etherspotAddressObject) =>
<div>
<p>Blockchain Name: {etherspotAddressObject.chainName}</p>
<p>Blockchain ID:{etherspotAddressObject.chainId}</p>
<p>Address: {etherspotAddressObject.address}</p>
</div>
)
}
<input
type="text"
value={address}
onChange={(event) => setAddress(event.target.value)}
/>
<input
type="text"
value={amount}
onChange={(event) => setAmount(event.target.value)}
/>
<hr />
<button onClick={() => estimate()}>Estimate</button>
<button onClick={() => send()}>Send</button>
</EtherspotTransaction>
</EtherspotBatch>
</EtherspotBatches>
You must always estimate before sending
Estimating first performs important transaction cost calculations that are required before sending.
Once sent - you can check the transaction on the Polygon Mumbai blockchain explorer here.

🎉
Congratulations!

You've just sent your first transaction using TransactionKit! Wasn't that easy? Why not have a look around the TransactionKit documentation to see what else you can do with TransactionKit!
