Source-based practical guide

Set up Aave market-data access with the React SDK

Retrieve Aave market data for Ethereum and Base using the documented React SDK hook.

Before you start

  • A React and TypeScript development environment
  • The @aave/react package
  • The SDK's chainId helper

Steps

  1. Import useAaveMarkets and chainId from @aave/react.

  2. Call useAaveMarkets with chainIds: [chainId(1), chainId(8453)] to request markets for Ethereum and Base.

  3. Use the returned data, loading, and error values to handle the request state.

Expected outcome

The hook provides market data and loading or error state for the requested chains.

Guide limitations

  • The documentation snippet shows the hook call but does not document package installation, rendering, or a complete application workflow.
  • The example requests only Ethereum and Base.
