MiniKit to Farcaster SDK

Breaking Changes (SDK v0.2.0+)

1. sdk.context is a Promise — must await
2. sdk.isInMiniApp() accepts no parameters
3. sdk.actions.setPrimaryButton() has no onClick callback

Check version: npm list @farcaster/miniapp-sdk

Quick Reference

MiniKit	Farcaster SDK	Notes
useMiniKit().setFrameReady()	await sdk.actions.ready()
useMiniKit().context	await sdk.context	Async
useMiniKit().isSDKLoaded	await sdk.isInMiniApp()	No params
useClose()	await sdk.actions.close()
useOpenUrl(url)	await sdk.actions.openUrl(url)
useViewProfile(fid)	await sdk.actions.viewProfile({ fid })
useViewCast(hash)	await sdk.actions.viewCast({ hash })
useComposeCast()	await sdk.actions.composeCast({ text, embeds })
useAddFrame()	await sdk.actions.addMiniApp()
usePrimaryButton(opts, cb)	await sdk.actions.setPrimaryButton(opts)	No callback
useAuthenticate()	sdk.quickAuth.getToken()	See AUTH.md

Context Access Pattern

// WRONG
const fid = sdk.context?.user?.fid;

// CORRECT
const context = await sdk.context;
const fid = context?.user?.fid;

In React components, use state:

const [context, setContext] = useState(null);

useEffect(() => {
  const load = async () => {
    const ctx = await sdk.context;
    setContext(ctx);
  };
  load();
}, []);

Conversion Workflow

1. Verify Node.js >= 22.11.0
2. Update dependencies — see DEPENDENCIES.md
3. Replace imports: @coinbase/onchainkit/minikit → @farcaster/miniapp-sdk
4. Convert hooks using reference above
5. Add FrameProvider — see PROVIDER.md
6. Update manifest: frame → miniapp — see MANIFEST.md

Common Errors

"Property 'user' does not exist on type 'Promise'" → Await sdk.context before accessing properties

"Expected 0 arguments, but got 1" → Remove parameters from sdk.isInMiniApp()

Context is null in components → Ensure FrameProvider is in your provider chain
