Title: Ethereum Web3Button: A Simple but Troublesome Issue in React 4 SDK
Introduction:
As developers, we strive to create smooth and intuitive interfaces for our users. However, sometimes even the simplest components can become a source of frustration. In this article, I will highlight one such issue with the Web3Button component in Thirdweb-dev/react v4 sdk.
Issue:
While configuring the Web3Button component in my React 4 SDK project, I encountered an unexpected behavior that prevented it from loading properly. Specifically, when I set the active chain to the base, the button never loaded. At first glance, this may not seem like a major issue, but trust me, it is frustrating.
Error Message:
Here are some details about the error message I received:
<Web3Button
label="Sing"
onClick={async () => {
const chainId = await getChainId();
// ...
}}
/>
As you can see, the getChainId() function is called to get the current active chain id. However, this function is asynchronous and returns a promise that resolves with the result.
In my case, I expected the Web3Button component to load properly when I set the active chain to the base. Instead, it would load forever, making it difficult for me to interact with the wallet.
Solution:
To solve this issue, I had to make some changes to the way I was using the Web3Button component. More specifically, I updated the onClick handler to handle the promise returned by getChainId() and use the resolved value instead of the initial result.
Here’s an example of what I changed:
{
const chainId = await getChainId();
// Use the resolved chainId value
const provider = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(
provider.on('chainChanged', (newChain) => {
if (newChain === 'base') {
console.log('Switching to base chain...');
// Do any necessary work when switching to base chain
}
});
} />
Conclusion:
As you can see, the Web3Button component configuration in Thirdweb-dev/react v4 sdk can have some unexpected behavior. In this case, I managed to fix the issue by updating the onClickhandler to handle the promise returned bygetChainId()` and use the resolved value instead of the initial result.
