The @polkadot/extension-dapp package provides an extractor that manipulates the window.injectedWeb3 to retrieve all the providers added to the page. It has a number of utilities

  • web3Enable(dappName: string): Promise<InjectedExtension[]> - to be called before anything else, retrieves the list of all injected extensions/providers
  • web3Accounts(): Promise<InjectedAccountWithMeta[]> - returns a list of all the injected accounts, accross all extensions (source in meta)
  • web3AccountsSubscribe(cb: (accounts: InjectedAccountWithMeta[]) => any): Promise<Unsubcall> - subscribes to the accounts accross all extensions, returning a full list as changes are made
  • web3FromAddress(address: string): Promise<InjectedExtension> - Retrieves a provider for a specific address
  • web3FromSource(name: string): Promise<InjectedExtension> - Retrieves a provider identified by the name
  • isWeb3Injected: boolean - boolean to indicate if injectedWeb3 was found on the page
  • web3EnablePromise: Promise<InjectedExtension[]> | null - null or the promise as a result of the last call to web3Enable
