Quickstart
Learn how to transfer STX tokens via a web wallet using Stacks Connect.
In this quickstart guide, you will learn how to set up your project, authenticate users with a web wallet, and initiate a STX token transfer.
For a deeper dive into the authentication process, check out the authenticate users guide.
Install package dependencies
Add the @stacks/connect
, @stacks/transactions
, and @stacks/network
packages to your project using your preferred package manager.
Create an AppConfig
and UserSession
Add a reusable UserSession
instance to your project. This will allow your app to store authentication state in localStorage
.
You can now import the userSession
instance in the following step to continue with the authentication process.
Interacting with the user's wallet
The process of connecting to a wallet gives the web app information about the wallet account, which enables interactions with the Stacks blockchain, like calling smart contracts.
Using the showConnect
function, you can prompt the user to select a wallet to connect to your app.
This will configure the showConnect
function to display a wallet connection pop-up with your app's name and icon, and handle user confirmation or cancellation actions in the onFinish
and onCancel
callbacks.
Initiate a STX transfer
With a connected wallet, you can now initiate a STX transfer to another account.
To prompt the user for a STX transfer call, use the openSTXTransfer
function.
This will prompt the user to confirm and sign a transaction, sending 10 STX to the recipient
address.
The amount
field is denominated in microSTX
, which is the smallest fraction of STX. 1,000,000 microSTX = 1 STX.
