## Summary

This tutorial explains how to connect the Auro Wallet to a React project, based on the TradeCoin codebase. The guide walks through importing React hooks, storing the wallet address in local storage under the key "MINA", and implementing a connectWallet function that calls window.mina.requestAccounts(). It then shows a WalletButton component that displays a shortened address (first six and last four characters) or a Connect Wallet button, and it ends with steps for styling and testing the integration in a browser with Auro Wallet installed.

## Article

In this guide, I will tell you about the process of connecting Auro Wallet to your react project. This guide is based on the TradeCoin codebase.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the Auro Wallet is installed on your device.

Let's get started

In case, you do not have react library installed:

npm install react

This will install the React library into your project.

1. Import Necessary hooks

After that, you can use the hooks by importing them as shown:

import { useEffect, useState } from "react";

2. Define Local Storage Key

const LOCAL_STORAGE_KEY = "MINA";

This key will be used to store the wallet address in the local storage.

3. Implement connectWallet Function

async function connectWallet(updateDisplayAddress) { const accounts = await window.mina.requestAccounts(); const displayAddress = `${accounts[0].slice(0, 6)}...${accounts[0].slice( -4 )}`; window.localStorage.setItem( LOCAL_STORAGE_KEY, JSON.stringify(displayAddress) ); updateDisplayAddress(displayAddress); }

This function connects to the Auro Wallet, retrieves the user's address, and updates the displayed address on the TradeCoin website.

4. Create getWalletAddress Function

function getWalletAddress() { if (typeof window !== "undefined") { const value = localStorage.getItem(LOCAL_STORAGE_KEY); if (value === null) return; return JSON.parse(value); } }

This function retrieves the wallet address from local storage.

5. Define the WalletButton Component

export const WalletButton = () => { const [isClient, setIsClient] = useState(false); const [displayedAddress, updateDisplayAddress] = useState(getWalletAddress()); useEffect(() => { setIsClient(true); }, []); return ( <> {isClient && ( <div className="flex items-center md:ml-12"> {displayedAddress ? ( <button className="flex w-full items-center justify-center rounded-md border border-transparent bg-indigo-500 px-4 py-3 text-base font-medium text-white hover:bg-indigo-700 md:py-2 md:px-5 "> {displayedAddress} </button> ) : ( <button onClick={() => connectWallet(updateDisplayAddress)} className="flex w-full items-center justify-center rounded-md border border-transparent bg-indigo-600 px-4 py-3 text-base font-medium text-white hover:bg-indigo-700 md:py-2 md:px-5 " > Connect Wallet </button> )} </div> )} </> ); };

This component displays a button that either shows the connected wallet address or prompts the user to connect their wallet.

6. Integrate WalletButton Component

Place the WalletButton component where you want the wallet connection button to appear on your website. For example:

import { WalletButton } from "./path/to/WalletButton"; function App() { return ( <div> {/* Other components */} <WalletButton /> </div> ); }

7. Customize Styling

Adjust the button styling in the WalletButton component according to your website's design.

8. Test the Integration

Open your website in a browser, ensure that the Auro Wallet is installed, and click the Connect Wallet button. Verify that the wallet address is displayed upon successful connection.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

That's it! You have successfully integrated the Auro Wallet connection function
