Nexus Elements - NexusProvider

Install and wire provider

• Install:
  • npx shadcn@latest add @nexus-elements/nexus-provider
• Ensure dependencies exist:
  • @avail-project/nexus-core
  • wagmi

Wrap your app

"use client";

import NexusProvider from "@/components/nexus/NexusProvider";

export function AppNexusProvider({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <NexusProvider config={{ network: "mainnet", debug: false }}>
      {children}
    </NexusProvider>
  );
}

Initialize SDK on wallet connect

• Resolve an EIP-1193 provider from your wallet stack.
• Call handleInit(provider) after wallet status becomes connected.
• Pass only providers with request().

"use client";

import { useEffect } from "react";
import { useAccount, useConnectorClient } from "wagmi";
import type { EthereumProvider } from "@avail-project/nexus-core";
import { useNexus } from "@/components/nexus/NexusProvider";

export function InitNexusOnConnect() {
  const { status, connector } = useAccount();
  const { data: walletClient } = useConnectorClient();
  const { handleInit } = useNexus();

  useEffect(() => {
    if (status !== "connected") return;

    void (async () => {
      const mobileProvider = walletClient
        ? ({ request: (args: unknown) => walletClient.request(args as never) } as EthereumProvider)
        : undefined;
      const desktopProvider = await connector?.getProvider();
      const provider = mobileProvider ?? (desktopProvider as EthereumProvider | undefined);
      if (!provider || typeof provider.request !== "function") return;
      await handleInit(provider);
    })();
  }, [status, connector, walletClient, handleInit]);

  return null;
}

Understand provider lifecycle (current implementation)

• handleInit(provider):
  • guard: skips if already initialized or loading.
  • validate provider shape.
  • call initializeNexus(provider).
  • call setup preload (supported chains/tokens, bridge balances, Coinbase rates).
  • attach hooks (intent, allowance, swapIntent).
• initializeNexus(provider):
  • calls sdk.initialize(provider) once.
  • sets nexusSDK state.
• deinitializeNexus():
  • calls sdk.deinit().
  • clears balances, rates, supported chains/tokens, and hook refs.
• Auto-disconnect behavior:
  • provider uses useAccountEffect from wagmi to deinit on disconnect.

SDK functions NexusProvider relies on

• Init/lifecycle:
  • sdk.initialize(provider)
  • sdk.deinit()
  • sdk.isInitialized()
• Metadata and balances:
  • sdk.utils.getSupportedChains(...)
  • sdk.utils.getSwapSupportedChainsAndTokens()
  • sdk.getBalancesForBridge()
  • sdk.getBalancesForSwap()
  • sdk.utils.getCoinbaseRates()
• Hook wiring:
  • sdk.setOnIntentHook(...)
  • sdk.setOnAllowanceHook(...)
  • sdk.setOnSwapIntentHook(...)

Understand hook contract

• Any active hook payload includes allow() and deny().
• If a widget sets hook-driven confirmation UI, always call one of them.
• Not calling allow()/deny() leaves a flow pending.

useNexus() API surface

• Core:
  • nexusSDK, loading, network
• Lifecycle:
  • handleInit, initializeNexus, deinitializeNexus, attachEventHooks
• Hook refs:
  • intent, allowance, swapIntent
• Data:
  • bridgableBalance, swapBalance, exchangeRate
  • supportedChainsAndTokens, swapSupportedChainsAndTokens
• Helpers:
  • fetchBridgableBalance, fetchSwapBalance, getFiatValue(amount, token)

E2E validation

• Connect wallet and assert nexusSDK becomes non-null.
• Assert supported chains/tokens are populated.
• Assert bridge and swap balances are fetched.
• Trigger a widget flow and confirm corresponding hook ref is populated.
• Disconnect wallet and confirm state clears.

Troubleshoot

• Invalid EIP-1193 provider:
  • use connector.getProvider() or a wallet client wrapper exposing request().
• Init succeeds but widgets fail:
  • ensure handleInit runs before mounting interactive flows.
• Missing fiat values:
  • check exchangeRate; fallback is token amount * 1 if rate missing.
