Demos Wallet Provider API

Provider Interface

The injected provider exposes a small surface:

  • provider.request({ method, params? }): Generic RPC-style method. Preferred for all interactions.

  • provider.accounts() → Promise<{ code: 404|401|200, data: string|null }>: Returns account status/address, used primarily for discovery gating.

The provider posts messages into the page. Internally, they are forwarded to the extension background and resolved back into a unified response:

export default interface DemosProviderResponse {
    id: string;
    type: "demosProviderResponse";
    method: string;        // echoes requested method
    success: boolean;
    data?: any;
    error?: {
        code: string;
        message: string;
        details?: any;
    }
}

Supported Methods

See all supported methods here: Wallet Provider API methods

Usage Examples

Connect and get xM addresses:

window.dispatchEvent(new Event('demosRequestProvider'));
window.addEventListener('demosAnnounceProvider', async (evt) => {
  const provider = evt.detail.provider;

  // Optional: discover account status
  const accounts = await provider.accounts();
  if (accounts.code !== 200) {
    const res = await provider.request({ method: 'connect' });
    if (!res.success) throw new Error(res.error?.message ?? 'Connect failed');
  }

  const result = await provider.request({ method: 'getXmIdentities' });
  console.log(result.success ? result.data : result.error);
});

Send a transaction:

const tx = await provider.request({
  method: 'nativeTransfer',
  params: [{ amount: 1, recipientAddress:"0x..." }],
});
if (!tx.success) {
  // handle tx.error.code/message
}

Add a Twitter identity (shape defined by SDK TwitterProof):

const proof = /* obtain TwitterProof via your backend/SDK */
const res = await provider.request({ method: 'addTwitterIdentity', params: [proof] });

Error Semantics

Common error codes surfaced in response.error.code:

  • TIMEOUT: popup not resolved before timeout

  • POPUP_ERROR: could not open popup

  • ...Cancelled: user closed popup (validationCancelled, addTwitterIdentityCancelled, etc.)

  • Method-specific errors (e.g., addGithubIdentityError, sendTransactionError) include details when available

Notes

  • The extension only announces the provider after provider.accounts() indicates a non-404 status.

  • Always prefer provider.request with the methods above for forward-compatibility.
