Configuration

Basic wagmi Config

// config/wagmi.ts
import { createConfig, http } from "wagmi";
import { mainnet, sepolia, polygon, arbitrum } from "wagmi/chains";
import { injected, walletConnect, coinbaseWallet } from "wagmi/connectors";

export const config = createConfig({
  chains: [mainnet, sepolia, polygon, arbitrum],
  connectors: [
    injected(),
    walletConnect({
      projectId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_WC_PROJECT_ID!,
    }),
    coinbaseWallet({
      appName: "My dApp",
    }),
  ],
  transports: {
    [mainnet.id]: http(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_MAINNET_RPC),
    [sepolia.id]: http(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SEPOLIA_RPC),
    [polygon.id]: http(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_POLYGON_RPC),
    [arbitrum.id]: http(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_ARBITRUM_RPC),
  },
});

RainbowKit Setup

// config/rainbowkit.ts
import "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit/styles.css";
import { getDefaultConfig } from "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit";
import { mainnet, sepolia, polygon } from "wagmi/chains";

export const config = getDefaultConfig({
  appName: "My dApp",
  projectId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_WC_PROJECT_ID!,
  chains: [mainnet, sepolia, polygon],
  ssr: true,
});

Provider Setup

// app/providers.tsx
"use client";

import { WagmiProvider } from "wagmi";
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from "@tanstack/react-query";
import { RainbowKitProvider } from "@rainbow-me/rainbowkit";
import { config } from "./config/wagmi";

const queryClient = new QueryClient();

export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <WagmiProvider config={config}>
      <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
        <RainbowKitProvider>{children}</RainbowKitProvider>
      </QueryClientProvider>
    </WagmiProvider>
  );
}

Connection Components

Connect Button

// components/ConnectButton.tsx
import { useAccount, useConnect, useDisconnect } from "wagmi";

export function ConnectButton() {
  const { address, isConnected } = useAccount();
  const { connect, connectors, isPending, error } = useConnect();
  const { disconnect } = useDisconnect();

  if (isConnected) {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>
          {address?.slice(0, 6)}...{address?.slice(-4)}
        </p>
        <button onClick={() => disconnect()}>Disconnect</button>
      </div>
    );
  }

  return (
    <div>
      {connectors.map((connector) => (
        <button
          key={connector.id}
          onClick={() => connect({ connector })}
          disabled={isPending}
        >
          {isPending ? "Connecting..." : `Connect ${connector.name}`}
        </button>
      ))}
      {error && <p>Error: {error.message}</p>}
    </div>
  );
}

Account Display

// components/Account.tsx
import { useAccount, useBalance, useEnsName, useEnsAvatar } from "wagmi";

export function Account() {
  const { address, chain } = useAccount();
  const { data: balance } = useBalance({ address });
  const { data: ensName } = useEnsName({ address });
  const { data: ensAvatar } = useEnsAvatar({ name: ensName ?? undefined });

  return (
    <div>
      {ensAvatar && <img src={ensAvatar} alt="ENS Avatar" />}
      <p>{ensName ?? `${address?.slice(0, 6)}...${address?.slice(-4)}`}</p>
      <p>
        {balance?.formatted} {balance?.symbol}
      </p>
      <p>Network: {chain?.name}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

Chain Switching

  const { chain } = useAccount();
  const { chains, switchChain, isPending, error } = useSwitchChain();

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Current: {chain?.name ?? "Not connected"}</p>

      <div>
        {chains.map((c) => (
          <button
            key={c.id}
            onClick={() => switchChain({ chainId: c.id })}
            disabled={isPending || c.id === chain?.id}
          >
            {c.name}
          </button>
        ))}
      </div>

      {error && <p>Error: {error.message}</p>}
    </div>
  );
}

Transaction Execution

Send Transaction

// components/SendTransaction.tsx
import { useSendTransaction, useWaitForTransactionReceipt } from "wagmi";
import { parseEther } from "viem";

export function SendTransaction() {
  const { data: hash, isPending, error, sendTransaction } = useSendTransaction();

  const { isLoading: isConfirming, isSuccess } = useWaitForTransactionReceipt({
    hash,
  });

  function handleSubmit(e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) {
    e.preventDefault();
    const formData = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
    const to = formData.get("to") as `0x${string}`;
    const value = formData.get("value") as string;

    sendTransaction({
      to,
      value: parseEther(value),
    });
  }

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input name="to" placeholder="0x..." required />
      <input name="value" placeholder="0.01" required />
      <button type="submit" disabled={isPending}>
        {isPending ? "Sending..." : "Send"}
      </button>

      {hash && <p>Tx: {hash}</p>}
      {isConfirming && <p>Confirming...</p>}
      {isSuccess && <p>Confirmed!</p>}
      {error && <p>Error: {error.message}</p>}
    </form>
  );
}

Contract Interaction

// components/ContractInteraction.tsx
import {
  useReadContract,
  useWriteContract,
  useWaitForTransactionReceipt,
} from "wagmi";
import { parseUnits, formatUnits } from "viem";
import { erc20Abi } from "viem";

const TOKEN_ADDRESS = "0x...";

export function TokenBalance({ address }: { address: `0x${string}` }) {
  const { data: balance, refetch } = useReadContract({
    address: TOKEN_ADDRESS,
    abi: erc20Abi,
    functionName: "balanceOf",
    args: [address],
  });

  return <p>Balance: {balance ? formatUnits(balance, 18) : "0"}</p>;
}

export function TokenTransfer() {
  const { data: hash, writeContract, isPending } = useWriteContract();
  const { isSuccess } = useWaitForTransactionReceipt({ hash });

  function handleTransfer(to: string, amount: string) {
    writeContract({
      address: TOKEN_ADDRESS,
      abi: erc20Abi,
      functionName: "transfer",
      args: [to as `0x${string}`, parseUnits(amount, 18)],
    });
  }

  return (
    <button
      onClick={() => handleTransfer("0x...", "100")}
      disabled={isPending}
    >
      {isPending ? "Transferring..." : "Transfer 100 Tokens"}
    </button>
  );
}

EIP-712 Typed Data Signing

// components/SignTypedData.tsx
import { useSignTypedData, useAccount } from "wagmi";

const domain = {
  name: "My dApp",
  version: "1",
  chainId: 1,
  verifyingContract: "0x..." as const,
};

const types = {
  Permit: [
    { name: "owner", type: "address" },
    { name: "spender", type: "address" },
    { name: "value", type: "uint256" },
    { name: "nonce", type: "uint256" },
    { name: "deadline", type: "uint256" },
  ],
};

export function SignPermit() {
  const { address } = useAccount();
  const { signTypedData, data: signature, isPending } = useSignTypedData();

  function handleSign() {
    signTypedData({
      domain,
      types,
      primaryType: "Permit",
      message: {
        owner: address!,
        spender: "0x..." as const,
        value: BigInt("1000000000000000000"),
        nonce: BigInt(0),
        deadline: BigInt(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 3600),
      },
    });
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleSign} disabled={isPending}>
        Sign Permit
      </button>
      {signature && <p>Signature: {signature}</p>}
    </div>
  );
}

Error Handling

// utils/errors.ts
import { BaseError, ContractFunctionRevertedError } from "viem";

export function parseContractError(error: unknown): string {
  if (error instanceof BaseError) {
    const revertError = error.walk(
      (err) => err instanceof ContractFunctionRevertedError
    );

    if (revertError instanceof ContractFunctionRevertedError) {
      const errorName = revertError.data?.errorName ?? "Unknown error";
      return `Contract reverted: ${errorName}`;
    }

    return error.shortMessage;
  }

  return "Unknown error occurred";
}

Process Integration

Process	Purpose
dapp-frontend-development.js	dApp building
hd-wallet-implementation.js	Wallet integration
multi-signature-wallet.js	Multi-sig dApps

Best Practices

1. Always handle connection errors
2. Show transaction status feedback
3. Support multiple wallet types
4. Implement chain switching gracefully
5. Cache frequently accessed data
6. Test with multiple wallets
