Metamask: Metamask ETH_REQUESTCCOUNTS Not Retrieveing Wallet Address After Signing in
I’m Integrating Metamask Into My Next.js App with Wagmi, And I’m Encountering An Issue Where After Connecting To Metamask, The Wallet Address Isn’t Retrieved Imediately. The app Asks for Signing via Web3 Browser Before Requesting the Wallet’s Address.
The issue:
When a user connects to metamask, it Sends an eth_request accounts Request to Retrieve Their Wallet Addresses. However, this process typically Takes around 1-2 seconds to complete and return the wallet addresses in Json Format. Unfortunately, After Signing in to Metamask Using the Web3 Browser Provided by Wagmi, the App Doesn’tin’t Irdiately Request the Wallet Addresses.
The Problem:
As a result, my next.js app asks for signing via the eth_request accounts API call every time I try to sign with metamask. This can lead to:
* Frequent requests
: The User is asked to authenticate again every second or so, which can be annoying and disrupt their workflow.
* Unnecessary Errors : If the wallet address isn’t retrieved correctly, my app might throw errors when trying to access it.
How to fix:
To resolve this issue, you need to handle the eth_request accounts response from metamask correctly. Here are a few approaches:
1. Use Onsuccess Hook
You can use the Onsuccess Hook Provied by Wagmi to Wait For The Wallet Address After Requesting It UsingEth_Request accounts. This Ensures That Your App Waits For The Address Before Asking for Signing Again.
`JSX
import {usewagmi} From 'Wagmi';
import metamask provider from 'Metamask provider';
Const MyApp = ({component, PageProps}) => {
Const {connect} = usewagmi ();
Return (
);
};
export default myapp;
2. Use Onerror Hook
Alternatively, you can use the Onerror hook provid by wagmi to handle errors relationship to metamask requests.
`JSX
import {usewagmi} From 'Wagmi';
import metamask provider from 'Metamask provider';
Const MyApp = ({component, PageProps}) => {
Const {connect} = usewagmi ();
Return (
);
};
export default myapp;
3. Use ETH_REQUESTECCOUSES With a timeout
If you prefer to handle the response yourself, you can use setimeout () to wait for the address before for signing again.
`JSX
import {useeffect, usestate} from 'React';
import metamask provider from 'Metamask provider';
Const MyApp = ({component, PageProps}) => {
Const [Walletaddress, Setwalletaddress] = Usestate ('');
Const {connect} = usewagmi ();
useeffect (() => {
Fetch ( {walletaddress})
.Then (response => response.json ())
.Then (Data => Setwalletaddress (Data.address))
.catch (error => console.error ('error:', error));
}, [walletaddress]);
Const Handlesign = () => {
fetch ( {walletaddress}, {
method: 'post',
headers: {'content type': 'Application/JSON'},
Body: json.stringify ({
from: walletaddress,
to: '',
Data: '',
}),
})
.Then (response => response.json ())
.Then (Data => Console.log ('Signed:', Data))
.catch (error => console.error ('error:', error));
};
Return (
);
};
These are just a few examples of how you can handle the eth_request accounts response from metamask in your next.js app with wagmi.
