Quickstart

Hey there 👋, this is the quickstart guide. If you want to learn the process checkout everything about ENS in dApps. If you would rather just clone an example repository checkout these:

Starter Kits

Add to your dApp

This quickstart guide assumes you have a basic understanding of react, ethers, wagmi, tailwindcss, and web3.

Installation

Installing Dependencies
npm install connectkit wagmi viem
npm install @rainbow-me/rainbowkit wagmi viem
npm install wagmi viem
npm install ethers
npm install viem
cargo add ethers
go get github.com/wealdtech/go-ens/v3

Showing the User Profile

The below codesnippet demonstrates how you can create a basic UserProfile section that shows the users ENS name and avatar. The snippet leverages the useAccount, useEnsName, and useEnsAvatar hooks from wagmi.

Showing the User Profile
import { ConnectButton } from '@rainbow-me/rainbowkit';

// Rainbowkit's ConnectButton includes a built-in user profile!
export const YourApp = () => {
  return <ConnectButton />;
};
import { useAccount, useEnsName, useEnsAvatar } from 'wagmi';
import { formatAddress } from 'ens-tools';

export const YourApp: FC = () => {
    const { address } = useAccount();
    const { data: name } = useEnsName({ address });
    const { data: avatar } = useEnsAvatar({ name });

    return (
        <div className="flex items-center gap-2">
            <img
                src={avatar || 'https://docs.ens.domains/fallback.svg'}
                className="w-8 h-8 rounded-full"
            />
            <div className="flex flex-col gap-0 leading-3 pr-10">
                {name && <span className="font-bold">{name}</span>}
                <span>{formatAddress(address)}</span>
            </div>
        </div>
    );

	address, _ := resolver.Address()

	fmt.Printf("ENS: %s, Avatar: %s, Address: %s\n", domain, avatar, address.Hex())
	// ENS: luc.eth, Avatar: https://ens.xyz/luc.eth, Address: 0x225f137127d9067788314bc7fcc1f36746a3c3B5
