Learn how to integrate Airstack APIs to your React-based application, including both React Web and React Native, using the Airstack Web SDK.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to start integrating Airstack API into your React application.

This tutorial will only covering React app build with vite and create-react-app.

• Node v.16+

Step 1: Install Airstack Web SDK

Use a package manager to install the Airstack Web SDK into your React project:

npm

npm install @airstack/airstack-react

yarn

yarn add @airstack/airstack-react

pnpm

pnpm install @airstack/airstack-react

Step 2: Set Environment Variable

Create a new .env file:

touch .env

Add the Airstack API key as the environment variable:

vite

VITE_AIRSTACK_API_KEY=YOUR_AIRSTACK_API_KEY

create-react-app

REACT_APP_AIRSTACK_API_KEY=YOUR_AIRSTACK_API_KEY

Step 3: Initialize SDK

Add init function from the SDK to initialize it with the Airstack API key:

vite (TS)

main.tsx

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import { init } from "@airstack/airstack-react";
import Component from "./Component";

init(import.meta.env.VITE_AIRSTACK_API_KEY);

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <Component />
  </React.StrictMode>
);

vite (JS)

main.jsx

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import { init } from "@airstack/airstack-react";
import Component from "./Component";

init(import.meta.env.VITE_AIRSTACK_API_KEY);

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <Component />
  </React.StrictMode>
);

create-react-app (TS)

index.tsx

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import { init } from "@airstack/airstack-react";
import Component from "./Component";

init(process.env.REACT_APP_AIRSTACK_API_KEY);

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <Component />
  </React.StrictMode>
);

create-react-app (JS)

index.jsx

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom/client";
import { init } from "@airstack/airstack-react";
import Component from "./Component";

init(process.env.REACT_APP_AIRSTACK_API_KEY);

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <Component />
  </React.StrictMode>
);

Step 4: Call Your Query

Once you have initialized the SDK, you can use the useQuery to call the Airstack API.

Below you have been provided with Airstack query to fetch the 0x address, Lens, and Farcaster owned by vitalik.eth:

For more query examples, check out Guides for various use cases you can build with Airstack.

TypeScript

Component.tsx

import { useQuery } from "@airstack/airstack-react";

interface QueryResponse {
  data: Data | null;
  loading: boolean;
  error: Error | null;
}

interface Data {
  Wallet: Wallet;
}

interface Error {
  message: string;
}

interface Wallet {
  socials: Social[];
  addresses: string[];
}

interface Social {
  dappName: "lens" | "farcaster";
  profileName: string;
}


const query = `
query MyQuery {
  Wallet(input: {identity: "vitalik.eth", blockchain: ethereum}) {
    socials {
      dappName
      profileName
    }
    addresses
  }
}
`;

const Component = () => {
  const { data, loading, error }: QueryResponse = useQuery<Data>(query, {}, { cache: false });

  if (loading) {
    return <p>Loading...</p>;
  }

  if (error) {
    return <p>Error: {error.message}</p>;
  }

  // Render your component using the data returned by the query
  console.log(data);
}

export default Component;

JavaScript

Component.jsx

import { useQuery } from "@airstack/airstack-react";

const query = `
query MyQuery {
  Wallet(input: {identity: "vitalik.eth", blockchain: ethereum}) {
    socials {
      dappName
      profileName
    }
    addresses
  }
}
`;

const Component = () => {
  const { data, loading, error } = useQuery(query, {}, { cache: false });

  if (loading) {
    return <p>Loading...</p>;
  }

  if (error) {
    return <p>Error: {error.message}</p>;
  }

  // Render your component using the data returned by the query
  console.log(data);
};

export default Component;

The data variable will return and logged into your browser's console as follows:

{
  "data": {
    "Wallet": {
      "socials": [
        {
          "dappName": "farcaster",
          "profileName": "vitalik.eth"
        },
        {
          "dappName": "lens",
          "profileName": "lens/@vitalik"
        }
      ],
      "addresses": ["0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045"]
    }
  }
}
