@filecoin-shipyard/use-filecoin-config

React hook to load config via Filecoin API

Uses js-filecoin-api-client to connect to the go-filecoin HTTP API running on localhost.

import useFilecoinConfig from '@filecoin-shipyard/use-filecoin-config'

const Main = () => {
  const [nickError, nickname] = useFilecoinConfig('heartbeat.nickname')

  return <Box>{nickname && nickname}</Box>
}

API
