aragonAPI for React

This module allows for interacting with aragonAPI with . is used under the hood, so being familiar with it can be useful.

Usage

import { AragonApi, useAragonApi } from '@aragon/api-react'

function App() {
  const { api, appState } = useAragonApi()
  const { count = 0 } = appState

  return (
    <div>
      <div>{count}</div>
      <button onClick={() => api.increment(1).toPromise()}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  )
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <AragonApi>
    <App />
  </AragonApi>,
  document.getElementById('root')
)

This is a simple example demonstrating how we can use @aragon/api-react to connect an app's frontend to its contract, fetch some data from its state (appState), and trigger an action on it (api.increment(1)). The full API is detailed below.

Installation

Install it alongside @aragon/api:

npm install --save @aragon/api @aragon/api-react

Documentation

<AragonApi />

Before using any Hook provided, you need to declare this component to connect the app. It is generally a good idea to do it near the top level of your React tree. It should only be declared once.

Example

import { AragonApi, useAppState } from '@aragon/api-react'
import BN from 'bn.js'

function App() {
  const { balance } = useAppState()
  return <div>{balance.toString(10)}</div>
}

function reducer(state) {
  if (state === null) {
    // initial sync
    return { balance: new BN(0) }
  }
  return { balance: new BN(state.balance) }
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <AragonApi reducer={reducer}>
    <App />
  </AragonApi>,
  document.getElementById('root')
)

useAragonApi()

A React Hook that returns the data needed to interact with the app contract.

It returns an object containing the following entries:

api

Example:

function App() {
  const { api } = useAragonApi()
  return <button onClick={() => api.vote(true).toPromise()}>Vote</button>
}

appState

Example:

import { useAragonApi } from '@aragon/api-react'

function App() {
  const { appState } = useAragonApi()
  return <div>{appState.count}</div>
}

connectedAccount

The connected Ethereum account. Its value is "" (empty string) when there is no account connected.

Example:

function App() {
  const { connectedAccount } = useAragonApi()
  return (
    <div>Account: {connectedAccount ? connectedAccount : 'Not connected'}</div>
  )
}

currentApp

Details about the current app. Once loaded, it returns a single object with the following keys:

  • abi: the app's ABI

  • appAddress: the app's contract address

  • appId: the app's appId

  • appImplementationAddress: the app's implementation contract address, if any (only available if this app is a proxied AragonApp)

  • identifier: the app's identifier, if any

  • isForwarder: whether the app is a forwarder

  • kernelAddress: the app's attached Kernel address (i.e. organization address)

  • name: the app's name, if available

  • roles (experimental): an array of this app's roles

Each app detail also includes an icon(size) function, that allows you to query for the app's icon (if available) based on a preferred size.

Its value is null until it gets loaded.

Example:

function App() {
  const { currentApp } = useAragonApi()
  return (
    <div>
      <img width="40" height="40" src={app.icon(40)} />
      {currentApp.appAddress}
    </div>
  )
}

guiStyle

The GUI style sent by the client. It contains two entries: appearance and theme.

appearance is currently one of light or dark. Other values could be passed in the future (e.g. black for OLED screens). It is always present and should be respected by apps to display a corresponding theme, unless theme is present.

Example:

function App() {
  const { guiStyle } = useAragonApi()
  return (
    <div
      style={{
        background: guiStyle.appearance === 'light' ? 'white' : 'grey',
      }}
    >
      <div
        style={{ color: guiStyle.appearance === 'light' ? 'black' : 'white' }}
      >
        Hello world

installedApps

The complete list of apps installed in the organization. Its value is an empty array ([]) until the list of apps are loaded.

Each object in the array holds the same keys as currentApp.

Example:

function App() {
  const { installedApps } = useAragonApi()
  return (
    <div>
      {installedApps.map(app => (
        <div>{app.appAddress}</div>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}

network

Example:

function App() {
  const { network } = useAragonApi()
  return <div>Current network: {network.type}</div>
}

path / requestPath()

The app's current path. Its value is "/" by default.

Use requestPath() to request the app be navigated to another path. Note that the navigation request may be rejected, and in that case the path will stay constant.

Example:

function App() {
  const { path, requestPath } = useAragonApi()

  // “Hello World” screen
  if (path === '/hello-world') {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>Hello World</h1>
        <button onClick={() => requestPath('/')}>
          Back
        </button>
      </div>
    )
  }

  // Home
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => requestPath('/hello-world')}>
        Click
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}
