PnP No Modal SDK - v8 to v9

This migration guide provides steps for upgrading from version v8 to v9 of the Web3Auth PnP No Modal SDK. The guide outlines significant changes and enhancements, including the support of additonal parameters in Wallet Services function, and build size reduction by 25%.

Breaking Changes

OpenloginAdapter is now AuthAdapter

In v9, we are deprecating the OpenloginAdapter and introducing the AuthAdapter. Additionally, OpenloginAdapterOptions has been renamed to AuthAdapterOptions. These changes have been made to enhance naming consistency. It's important to note that while the names have changed, the parameters used in the adapter settings remain the same.

import { OpenloginAdapter } from "@web3auth/openlogin-adapter";
import { AuthAdapter } from "@web3auth/auth-adapter";

const loginAdapter = new OpenloginAdapter(OpenloginAdapterOptions);
const loginAdapter = new AuthAdapter(AuthAdapterOptions);

Default EVM Adapter Enhancements

In v9, the functionality of getDefaultExternalAdapters has changed. Previously, it displayed injected wallets available in the browser. Starting from v9, it will now show an option to connect with WalletConnect modal, enabling users to connect via WalletConnect if a wallet is not already installed.

If you wish to show only injected wallets, you can now use getInjectedAdapters.

The key difference between getInjectedAdapters and getDefaultExternalAdapters lies in their handling of missing wallets. While getInjectedAdapters will return an empty list when no wallet is found, getDefaultExternalAdapters allows users to connect via WalletConnect in the absence of installed wallet.

Show Injected Wallets

import { getInjectedAdapters } from "@web3auth/default-evm-adapter";

const adapters = await getInjectedAdapters({ options: web3AuthOptions });

adapters.forEach((adapter) => {
  web3auth.configureAdapter(adapter);
});

Show Injected Wallets & WalletConnect Modal

import { getDefaultExternalAdapters } from "@web3auth/default-evm-adapter";

const adapters = await getDefaultExternalAdapters({ options: web3AuthOptions });

adapters.forEach((adapter) => {
  web3auth.configureAdapter(adapter);
});

Default Solana Adapter Enhancements

In v9, a new getInjectedAdapters function has been introduced, working similarly to getDefaultExternalAdapters. This function has been added to align with default EVM adapter. Unlike the default EVM adapter, there is no functionality change for getDefaultExternalAdapters.

External Wallet Adapters Deprecation

Starting with v9, external wallet adapters for Metamask, Phantom, Solflare, and Slope are deprecated in favor of the Default EVM Adapter and Default Solana Adapter. These new adapters use MIPD to automatically detect injected wallets.

Metamask Adapter Migration

import { MetamaskAdapter } from "@web3auth/metamask-adapter";
import { getInjectedAdapters } from "@web3auth/default-evm-adapter";

const metamaskAdapter = new MetamaskAdapter({});
const adapters = await getInjectedAdapters({ options: web3AuthOptions });
const metamaskAdapter = adapters.find((e) => e.name == "metamask");

web3auth.configureAdapter(metamaskAdapter);

Phantom Adapter Migration

import { PhantomAdapter } from "@web3auth/phantom-adapter";
import { getInjectedAdapters } from "@web3auth/default-solana-adapter";

const phantomAdapter = new PhantomAdapter({});
const adapters = await getInjectedAdapters({ options: web3AuthOptions });
const phantomAdapter = adapters.find((e) => e.name == "phantom");

web3auth.configureAdapter(phantomAdapter);

Solflare Adapter Migration

import { SolflareAdapter } from "@web3auth/solflare-adapter";
import { getInjectedAdapters } from "@web3auth/default-solana-adapter";

const solflareAdapter = new SolflareAdapter({});
const adapters = await getInjectedAdapters({ options: web3AuthOptions });
const solflareAdapter = adapters.find((e) => e.name == "solflare");

web3auth.configureAdapter(solflareAdapter);

Slope Adapter Migration

import { SlopeAdapter } from "@web3auth/slope-adapter";
import { getInjectedAdapters } from "@web3auth/default-solana-adapter";

const slopeAdapter = new SlopeAdapter();
const adapters = await getInjectedAdapters({ options: web3AuthOptions });
const slopeAdapter = adapters.find((e) => e.name == "slope");

web3auth.configureAdapter(slopeAdapter);

Hooks Auto Init

Starting with v9, the init method for initializing the No Modal SDK has been removed. Initialization is now handled internally by the hooks.

// No need to initialize the SDK explicitly.

const { init } = useWeb3Auth();
await init();

Minor Changes

In v9, there are also minor changes that improves the developer experience, and overall performance.

JSON-RPC Method Deprecations

Starting v9, the eth_signTypedData_v1 and eth_signTypedData_v3 are now deprecated. These method can no longer be used. If you were using one of them, you should now use eth_signTypedData_v4.

Status and Events Improvement

After v9, all the status and events in Web3Auth are now typed. This addition significantly improves the developer experience, and reduces chances for runtime error.

Additional Changes

Apart from breaking changes, there are lot of enhancements, and quality of life improvement.

Wallet Services Enhancements

In v9, there has been significant enhancements to the Wallet Services plugin. Now, you can programmatically control the modals's visibility. Along with that the build size is reduced by 25%. Please checkout the parameters, and their usage wrt their functions.

TopUp Parameters

receiveWalletAddress?	Specifies the recipient's address. By default, it is set to the currently connected address.
tokenList?	Specifies the tokens to display in the list. By default, all tokens are shown. Use the ticker name to specify which tokens to display, such as [USDC, USDT, ETH]. Please checkout the coverage details for full list of supported networks and tokens.

Functionality To Enable Key Export
