Quick Start: RainbowKit Apps

Web3 apps using 'RainbowKit' can easily onboard users via social login by integrating with the Arcana Auth Wagmi SDK!

Prerequisites

1. Register & Configure

Log into the Arcana Developer Dashboard:

https://dashboard.arcana.network

In the Manage Apps dashboard screen, click the first card and create a new app entry to register app. Each app is assigned a unique Client ID at registration. The Client ID is required for integrating the app with the Arcana Auth SDK.

A default Testnet configuration profile is associated with the registered app. In the Manage Apps dashboard screen, select the registered app card and click 'Testnet' configuration settings. Choose Social Auth to configure user onboarding providers. Optionally enable gasless transactions in Arcana wallet to incentivize app users.

2. Install SDKs

For 'RainbowKit' app, install the following packages:

npm install --save @arcana/auth-wagmi @arcana/auth

yarn add @arcana/auth-wagmi @arcana/auth

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@arcana/auth"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@arcana/auth"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@arcana/auth-wagmi"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@arcana/auth-wagmi"></script>

Use latest SDKs

Use the latest Arcana Auth SDK release: v1.0.10. Migrate from Arcana Auth SDK v1.0.9 -> v1.0.10.

Versions older than Arcana Auth SDK v1.0.9 may encounter potential breaking changes that require app reconfiguration, integration code updates, and redeployment. Refer to the Migration Guides and Release Notes.

Use the latest Arcana Auth Wagmi SDK release: v2.0.0

3. Integrate

Import AuthProvider from the auth package.

const { AuthProvider } = window.arcana.auth // From CDN
//or
import { AuthProvider } from '@arcana/auth' //From npm

Create a new AuthProvider instance. Specify the unique Client ID obtained during the app registration.

utils/getArcanaAuth.js
// Set up Arcana Auth 

import { AuthProvider } from "@arcana/auth";

let auth = null;

export const getAuthProvider = () => {
  if (!auth) {
    auth = new AuthProvider(
      "xar_live_d7c88d9b033d100e4200d21a5c4897b896e60063"
    );
  }
  return auth;
};

You can optionally customize the following settings in the AuthProvider constructor:

AuthProvider Optional Parameters

You can optionally customize the following settings in the AuthProvider constructor:

alwaysVisible: Arcana wallet visibility mode - always visible in the app context or only if a blockchain transaction is triggered by the app

chainConfig: use chainId to specify the chain identifier for the active chain in the wallet and rpcUrl for specifying the RPC Url for that chain identifier

position: wallet position within the app context - left|right

theme: wallet theme - light|dark

setWindowProvider: set window.ethereum in the app context with the standard EIP-1193 Ethereum provider value

connectOptions: built-in login UI compact mode - true|false

See AuthProvider constructor parameters for details.

Next, import the ArcanaConnector from the auth-wagmi package. Create a new ArcanaConnector and specify the AuthProvider instantiated earlier.

App.js
// Note:  
// This sample code is for 
// wagmi versions <1.x.x and auth-wagmi <2.0.0

import { WagmiConfig, configureChains, createClient, Chain } from "wagmi";
import { goerli, mainnet, polygon, polygonMumbai } from "wagmi/chains";
import { InjectedConnector } from "wagmi/connectors/injected";
import { publicProvider } from "wagmi/providers/public";
import { ArcanaConnector } from "@arcana/auth-wagmi";
import { newAuthProvider } from "../utils/newArcanaAuth";

import "../styles/globals.css";
import type { AppProps } from "next/app";

const { chains, provider, webSocketProvider } = configureChains(
  [mainnet, goerli, polygon, polygonMumbai],
  [publicProvider()],
  { targetQuorum: 1 }
);

const connectors = [
  new ArcanaConnector({
    chains,
    options: {
      auth: newAuthProvider(),
    },
  }),
  new InjectedConnector({
    chains,
    options: {
      name: "Browser Wallet",
      shimDisconnect: true,
    },
  }),
];

const wagmiEntity = createClient({
  autoConnect: true,
  connectors,
  provider,
  webSocketProvider,
});
...
App.js
// Note:  
// This sample code is for 
// wagmi versions 1.x.x and auth-wagmi 2.0.0
import { configureChains, createConfig, WagmiConfig } from "wagmi";
import { publicProvider } from "wagmi/providers/public";
import { ArcanaConnector } from "@arcana/auth-wagmi";
import { polygon, polygonMumbai } from "wagmi/chains";
import { newAuthProvider } from "./utils/newArcanaAuth";
import { useAccount, useConnect, useDisconnect, useBalance } from 'wagmi'
import "../styles/globals.css";

const { chains, provider, webSocketProvider } = configureChains(
  [mainnet, polygon, polygonMumbai],
  [publicProvider()],
  { targetQuorum: 1 }
);

export const connector = (chains: Chain[]) => {
  return new ArcanaConnector({
    chains,
    options: {
      auth: newAuthProvider(),
    },
  });
};

const { chains, publicClient } = configureChains(
  [polygon, polygonMumbai],
  [publicProvider()]
);

export const wagmiEntity = createConfig({
  autoConnect: true,
  connectors: [connector(chains)],
  publicClient,
});
...

createClient vs. creatConfig usage

See Wagmi Getting Started Guide and Wagmi 1.x.y Migration Guide.

Onboard Users

Use ArcanaConnector to set up Wagmi and onboard users via the built-in plug-and-play login UI (default). Set up Wagmi connector configuration through createClient or createConfig depending upon whether you are using the Wagmi version before v2.0 or later.

utils/wallet.js
//This example uses Arcana Rainbow connector and MetaMask

import { connectorsForWallets } from "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit";
import { metaMaskWallet } from "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit/wallets";
import { getAuthProvider } from "./getArcanaAuth";
import { ArcanaConnector } from "@arcana/auth-wagmi";

import { sequenceLogo } from "./logo";

export const ArcanaRainbowConnector = ({ chains }) => {
  return {
    id: "arcana-auth",
    name: "Login with Email/Social",
    iconUrl: sequenceLogo,
    iconBackground: "#101010",
    createConnector: () => {
      const connector = new ArcanaConnector({
        chains,
        options: {
          auth: getAuthProvider()
        }
      });
      return {
        connector
      };
    }
  };
};

const connectors = (chains) =>
  connectorsForWallets([
    {
      groupName: "Recommended",
      wallets: [ArcanaRainbowConnector({ chains }), metaMaskWallet({ chains })]
    }
  ]);

export { connectors };
pages/App.js
// Note:  
// This sample code is for 
// wagmi versions <1.x.x and auth-wagmi <2.0.0

import "../styles/globals.css";
import "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit/styles.css";

import { configureChains, createClient, WagmiConfig } from "wagmi";
import { polygon, mainnet } from "wagmi/chains";
import { publicProvider } from "wagmi/providers/public";
import { RainbowKitProvider } from "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit";
import { connectors } from "../utils/wallet";

const { chains, provider } = configureChains(
  [mainnet, polygon],
  [publicProvider()]
);

const wagmiEntity = createClient({
  connectors: connectors(chains),
  autoConnect: true,
  provider,
});
...
pages/App.js
// Note:  
// This sample code is for 
// wagmi versions 1.x.x and auth-wagmi 2.0.0

import { configureChains, createConfig, WagmiConfig } from "wagmi";
import { polygon, mainnet, optimism, arbitrum } from "wagmi/chains";
import { publicProvider } from "wagmi/providers/public";
import { RainbowKitProvider } from "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit";
import { connectors } from "./wallet";
import { useAccount, useConnect } from 'wagmi'
import { Connect } from "./Connect";

const { chains, publicClient } = configureChains(
  [mainnet, polygon, optimism, arbitrum],
  [publicProvider()]
);

const wagmiEntity = createConfig({
  connectors: connectors(chains),
  autoConnect: true,
  publicClient,
});
...

Use WagmiConfig and RainbowKitProvider components to bring up the built-in login UI and enable social login through the configured providers.

pages/App.js
// Pass wagmi client configured with ArcanaRainbowKitConnector to the RainbowKit Context Provider
export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <WagmiConfig client={wagmiEntity}>
      <RainbowKitProvider chains={chains}>
        <Component {...pageProps} />
      </RainbowKitProvider>
    </WagmiConfig>
  );
}
pages/App.js
// Pass wagmi client configured with ArcanaRainbowKitConnector to the RainbowKit Context Provider
export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <WagmiConfig config={wagmiEntity}>
      <RainbowKitProvider chains={chains}>
        <Component {...pageProps} />
      </RainbowKitProvider>
    </WagmiConfig>
  );
}
Custom Login UI

You can onboard users through a custom login UI instead of the built-in plug-and-play one. See how to use custom login UI for onboarding users in a 'RainbowKit' app for details.

Arcana JWT Token

Upon successful authentication, Arcana Auth SDK returns a unique JWT token to the app called the Arcana JWT Token. App developers can use this token to verify user login and subsequently generate another token for app use. Learn more about how to verify the Arcana JWT Token for apps deployed on Testnet and Mainnet.

Sign Transactions

Use the standard JSON RPC Web3 wallet operations supported by the AuthProvider.

Manage the user experience for signing blockchain transactions by choosing the default, built-in Arcana wallet UI and tinkering with the wallet visibility or selecting a custom wallet UI.

4. Deploy

Finally, deploy the app on Testnet (default). For Mainnet deployment, see Testnet > Mainnet Migration Guide.

That's all!

Your 'RainbowKit' app is now powered by Arcana Auth SDK and Arcana Auth Wagmi SDK to onboard users and allow authenticated users to sign blockchain transactions using Arcana wallet.

Wagmi createClient and configClient

For more details on the createClient and configClient functions of the Wagmi package, see Wagmi Getting Started Guide and Wagmi 1.x.y Migration Guide.
