Practical overview
When it fits
Use Connectkit when implementing wallet connection in a React dApp and a component-based interface fits the project’s frontend stack.
Who it is for
- Developers building React-based decentralized applications.
- Teams using wagmi and viem that need a wallet connection interface.
Documented uses
- Add wallet-connection UI to a React dApp.
- Present wallet selection through supported connectors.
- Style the connection interface with a predesigned theme or customizations.
Requirements & limits
The project is published as a public GitHub repository under the BSD-2-Clause license.
- Connectkit is a UI library to integrate into an application, not a standalone wallet service.
- The README identifies TypeScript support, connector and chain support, and predesigned or customizable themes.
- The repository includes Next.js and Vite examples.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up and start a local Connectkit example
Install the repository dependencies and start a documented Vite or Next.js example.
Before you start
- Git and Yarn
- A local development environment for the repository
Steps
Clone the Connectkit repository and change into its directory.
Run yarn install to install dependencies.
Start the bundler with yarn dev:connectkit.
Choose an example with yarn dev:vite, yarn dev:nextjs, or yarn dev:nextjs-siwe.
Expected outcome
The repository's documented local example workflow is started for the selected Vite or Next.js example.
Guide limitations
- The README does not specify additional environment configuration or confirm a particular example's runtime behavior.
