Using ReOwn AppKit and Solana Adapter in Pure JavaScript
As a beginner in the world of blockchain development, it is not uncommon to encounter unfamiliar concepts and technologies. In this article, we will look at how to implement ReOwn AppKit and Solana Adapter in pure JavaScript, covering the latest versions of both libraries.
What is ReOwn AppKit?
ReOwn AppKit is a popular library for building blockchain-based applications on the Solana blockchain. It allows developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) using React or other libraries without requiring extensive knowledge of Solana-specific development.
Solana Adapter
The Solana Adapter is an extension of ReOwn AppKit that enables seamless integration with the Solana network. With this adapter, you can build dApps on Solana that take advantage of its unique features and benefits.
Pure JavaScript Implementation
To use ReOwn AppKit and Solana Adapter in pure JavaScript, follow these steps:
Step 1: Install the required libraries
First, install the required libraries using npm or yarn:
npm install reown-appkit @solana/web3.js
or
yarn add reown-appkit@^2.0.5 @solana/web3.js
Step 2: Configure the Solana Client
Create a new “config.json” file and add the details for your Solana network:
{
"network": {
"name": "testnet",
"id": "YOUR_SOLANA_NETWORK_ID"
}
}
Replace “YOUR_SOLANA_NETWORK_ID” with your chosen Solana with network ID.
Step 3: Create a new JavaScript project
Create a new directory for the project and initialize a new Node.js project using “npx create-react-app my-app”.
Step 4: Install the ReOwn AppKit Adapter
Install the ReOwn AppKit adapter using npm or yarn:
npm install reown-appkit-solana-adapter
or
yarn add reown-appkit-solana-adapter
Step 5: Import the ReOwn AppKit and Solana Adapter
In the “App.js” file, import the required libraries:
import React from 'react';
import { CreateApp } from 'reown-appkit';
import { SolanaAdapter } from 'reown-appkit-solana-adapter';
const App = () => {
return (
My app
Connecting to the Solana network...
React.createElement(
SolanaAdapter,
{ network: this.props.network }
),
null
)}>
Connect to Solana
);
};
export default app;
Step 6: Create a new React component
Create a new file “SolanaConnector.js” and add the following code:
import { SolanaAdapter } from 'reown-appkit-solana-adapter';
const SolanaConnector = () => {
return (
Solana Connector
Connecting to the Solana Network...
React.createElement(
SolanaAdapter,
{ network: this.props.network }
),
null
)}>
Connect to Solana
);
};
export default SolanaConnector;
Step 7: Integrate ReOwn AppKit and Solana Adapter
In the “App.js” file, import the “SolanaConnector” component and add it as a child element:
“` jsx
import React from ‘react’;
import { createApp } from ‘reown-appkit’;
import SolanaConnector from ‘./SolanaConnector’;
const App = () => {
return (
My App
Connecting to the Solana Network…
React.createElement(
SolanaConnector,
{ network: this.props.
