Using Web3 providers

The easiest way to interact with Universal Login is via web3 providers, that allow interacting with UniLogin contracts via web3js, ethers.js, or similar libraries.

Installation

To add universal login web3 to project with yarn, type:

yarn add @universal-login/web3

ULWeb3Provider

ULWeb3Provider allows interacting with UniLogin contracts. Before triggering actions on the blockchain, it will show related dialogs.

Below is example creation of the wallet:

  const ulWeb3 = new ULWeb3Provider({
    provider: new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(
      'https://kovan.infura.io/v3/b3026fc5137a4bd18e5d5906ed49f77d'
    ),
    relayerUrl: 'https://relayer-kovan.herokuapp.com',
    ensDomains: ['poppularapp.test'],
    applicationInfo: {
      applicationName: 'Kickback',
      logo: 'https://kickback.events/favicon.ico',
      type: 'laptop'
    }

Constructor takes one argument - ULWeb3ProviderOptions:

export interface ULWeb3ProviderOptions {
  provider: Provider; //web3Provider
  relayerUrl: string; //url to ethereum node (as an alternative to proivder)
  ensDomains: string[]; //list of supported domains
  applicationInfo?: ApplicationInfo; // see below
  ...
}

Application info allows passing meta-data about an application, that can be later used in a user interface to identify which keys belong to which application and devices

export interface ApplicationInfo {
  applicationName: string; // Name of the application
  type: string; // 'laptop', 'mobile', 'browser'
  logo: string; //Url to application logo
}

Web3Strategy

Web3Strategy is useful to work with applications that are already working with other existing web3 providers. It allows delaying user choice of web3 provider (e.g. MetaMask vs Universal Login). Web3Strategy will allow reading from a provider. The first action that requires a wallet will trigger dialog that allows picking web3 provider.

See the example below.

function setupWeb3(web3) {
  const provider = web3.currentProvider //or however you were creating provider before
  web3.setProvider(
    new Web3Strategy(
      [
        {
          name: 'UniLogin',
          icon: 'UniLogin logo',
          create: () => ulWeb3
        },
        {
          create: () => provider,
          icon: 'Kickback icon',
          name: 'Kickback default provider'
        }
      ],
      provider
    )
  )
}
