Integrating with Plaid Link

Plaid Link lets you integrate multiple wallets such as Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, and more into your dApp.

A complete guide on setting up and integrating Plaid Link can be found in the docs. To explore a running version of Plaid Link, you can try out the demo where Product = "Investments".

Connecting to Wallet with Plaid Link


Prerequisites

Plaid Link can be used in any JavaScript web dApp, but there is a React library for React applications as well.

You can read about the setup and installation process in the Plaid Link docs

Example integration

Plaid Link returns a provider that your dApp can use to request the user’s addresses as well as signatures and transactions.

Here’s a simple example of the code used to integrate Plaid Link in a vanilla JavaScript dApp:

<script src="https://cdn.plaid.com/link/v2/stable/link-initialize.js"></script>

<script>
const plaidWeb3 = await Plaid.web3();
const handler = plaidWeb3.createEthereumOnboarding({
// retrieve from Plaid Dashboard
token: 'token-abc',
chain: {
rpcUrl: 'https://cloudflare-eth.com/v1/mainnet',
chainId: '0x1',
},
onSuccess: async (provider) => {
const accounts = await provider.request({ method: 'eth_accounts' });
}
});

handler.open();
</script>

For a complete overview of the configuration options and capabilities of Plaid Link, refer to its docs.
