Example Web Wallet

This project demonstrates how to use the Solana Javascript API to implement a simple web wallet.

IMPORTANT: This wallet does not sufficently protect the private keys it generates and should NOT be used in a non-test environment

Getting Started

$ npm install
$ npm run start

Then open your browser to http://localhost:8080/

Development

When making changes, using the webpack-dev-server can be quite convenient as it will rebuild and reload the app automatically

$ npm run dev

Funding dApps

If this wallet is opened by a dApp, it will accept requests for funds. In order to request funds from your dApp, follow these steps:

  1. Attach a message event listener to the dApp window
window.addEventListener('message', (e) => { /* ... */ });
  1. Open the wallet url in a window from the dApp
const walletWindow = window.open(WALLET_URL, 'wallet', 'toolbar=no, location=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, width=500, height=600');
  1. Wait for the wallet to load, it will post a 'ready' message when it's ready to handle requests
window.addEventListener('message', (e) => {
  if (e.data) {
    switch (e.data.method) {
      case 'ready': {
        // ...
        break;
      }
    }
  }
});
  1. Send an 'addFunds' request
walletWindow.postMessage({
  method: 'addFunds',
  params: {
    pubkey: '7q4tpevKWZFSXszPfnvWDuuE19EhSnsAmt5x4MqCyyVb',
    amount: 150,
    network: 'https://devnet.solana.com',
  },
}, WALLET_URL);
  1. Listen for an 'addFundsResponse' event which will include the amount transferred and the transaction signature
window.addEventListener('message', (e) => {
  // ...
  switch (e.data.method) {
    case 'ready': {
      // ...
      break;
    }
    case 'addFundsResponse': {
      const {amount, signature} = e.data.params;
      // ...
      break;
    }
  }
});
