Next.js

AppKit has support for Wagmi and Ethers v6 on Ethereum and @solana/web3.js on Solana. Choose one of these Ethereum Libraries or 'Solana' to get started.

Note

These steps are specific to Next.js app router. For other React frameworks read the React documentation.

Installation​

If you prefer referring to a video tutorial for this, please click here.

npm install @reown/appkit @reown/appkit-adapter-wagmi wagmi viem @tanstack/react-query

Cloud Configuration​

Create a new project on Reown Cloud at https://cloud.reown.com and obtain a new project ID.

Implementation​

For a quick integration, you can use the createAppKit function with a unified configuration. This automatically applies the predefined configurations for different adapters like Wagmi, Ethers, or Solana, so you no longer need to manually configure each one individually. Simply pass the common parameters such as projectId, chains, metadata, etc., and the function will handle the adapter-specific configurations under the hood.

This includes WalletConnect, Coinbase and Injected connectors, and the Blockchain API as a transport

Wagmi config​

Create a new file for your Wagmi configuration, since we are going to be calling this function on the client and the server it cannot live inside a file with the 'use client' directive.

For this example we will create a file called config/index.tsx outside our app directory and set up the following configuration

import { cookieStorage, createStorage, http } from '@wagmi/core'
import { WagmiAdapter } from '@reown/appkit-adapter-wagmi'
import { mainnet, arbitrum } from '@reown/appkit/networks'

// Get projectId from https://cloud.reown.com
export const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_PROJECT_ID

if (!projectId) {
  throw new Error('Project ID is not defined')
}

export const networks = [mainnet, arbitrum]

//Set up the Wagmi Adapter (Config)
export const wagmiAdapter = new WagmiAdapter({
  storage: createStorage({
    storage: cookieStorage
  }),
  ssr: true,
  projectId,
  networks
})

export const config = wagmiAdapter.wagmiConfig

Importing networks​

Reown AppKit use Viem networks under the hood, which provide a wide variety of networks for EVM chains. You can find all the networks supported by Viem within the @reown/appkit/networks path.

import { createAppKit } from '@reown/appkit'
import { mainnet, arbitrum, base, scroll, polygon } from '@reown/appkit/networks'

SSR and Hydration​

info
  • Using cookies is completely optional and by default Wagmi will use localStorage instead if the storage param is not defined.
  • The ssr flag will delay the hydration of the Wagmi's store to avoid hydration mismatch errors.

Context Provider​

Let's create now a context provider that will wrap our application and initialized AppKit (createAppKit needs to be called inside a Next Client Component file).

In this example we will create a file called context/index.tsx outside our app directory and set up the following configuration

'use client'

import { wagmiAdapter, projectId } from '@/config'
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query'
import { createAppKit } from '@reown/appkit/react'
import { mainnet, arbitrum } from '@reown/appkit/networks'
import React, { type ReactNode } from 'react'
import { cookieToInitialState, WagmiProvider, type Config } from 'wagmi'

// Set up queryClient
const queryClient = new QueryClient()

if (!projectId) {
  throw new Error('Project ID is not defined')
}

// Set up metadata
const metadata = {
  name: 'appkit-example',
  description: 'AppKit Example',
  url: 'https://appkitexampleapp.com', // origin must match your domain & subdomain
  icons: ['https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/179229932']
}

// Create the modal
const modal = createAppKit({
  adapters: [wagmiAdapter],
  projectId,
  networks: [mainnet, arbitrum],
  defaultNetwork: mainnet,
  metadata: metadata,
  features: {
    analytics: true // Optional - defaults to your Cloud configuration
  }
})

function ContextProvider({ children, cookies }: { children: ReactNode; cookies: string | null }) {
  const initialState = cookieToInitialState(wagmiAdapter.wagmiConfig as Config, cookies)

  return (
    <WagmiProvider config={wagmiAdapter.wagmiConfig as Config} initialState={initialState}>
      <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>
    </WagmiProvider>
  )
}

export default ContextProvider

Layout​

Next, in our app/layout.tsx file, we will import our ContextProvider component and call the Wagmi's function cookieToInitialState.

The initialState returned by cookieToInitialState, contains the optimistic values that will populate the Wagmi's store both on the server and client.

import type { Metadata } from 'next'
import { Inter } from 'next/font/google'
import './globals.css'

const inter = Inter({ subsets: ['latin'] })

import { headers } from 'next/headers' // added
import ContextProvider from '@/context'

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'AppKit Example App',
  description: 'Powered by Reown'
}

export default function RootLayout({
  children
}: Readonly<{
  children: React.ReactNode
}>) {
  const cookies = headers().get('cookie')

  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body className={inter.className}>
        <ContextProvider cookies={cookies}>{children}</ContextProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

Trigger the modal​

To open AppKit you can use our web component or build your own button with AppKit hooks. In this example we are going to use the <appkit-button> component.

Web components are global html elements that don't require importing.

export default function ConnectButton() {
  return <appkit-button />
}

Smart Contract Interaction​

Wagmi hooks can help us interact with wallets and smart contracts:

import { useReadContract } from 'wagmi'
import { USDTAbi } from '../abi/USDTAbi'

const USDTAddress = '0x...'

function App() {
  const result = useReadContract({
    abi: USDTAbi,
    address: USDTAddress,
    functionName: 'totalSupply'
  })
}

Extra configuration​

Next.js relies on SSR. This means some specific steps are required to make AppKit work properly.

  • Add the following code in the next.config.js file
// Path: next.config.js
const nextConfig = {
  webpack: config => {
    config.externals.push('pino-pretty', 'lokijs', 'encoding')
    return config
  }
}
