Initialize Web3 on Client Side
web3.js allows developers to interact with the blockchain without running the Node
Web3 is a JavaScript Library to interact with Ethereum Blockchain.
The following code shows a new way to start up a dapp that can be used today in both legacy and modern dapp browsers:
Install web3
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import Web3 from 'web3'
let web3;
function App() {
useEffect(() => {
(async () => {
if (window.ethereum) {
// Modern DApp browsers
web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
try {
await window.ethereum.enable();
} catch (error) {
// User denied account access
console.log(error);
}
} else if (window.web3) {
// Legacy dapp browsers
web3 = new Web3(window.web3.currentProvider);
} else {
// Non-dapp browsers
console.log("Non-Ethereum browser detected. You should consider trying MetaMask!");
}
})();
}, []);
return (
<div className="App">
{/* HTML code here*/}
</div >
);
}
export default App;
