Ether-SWR

Ether-SWR is a React hook that fetches Ethereum data, streamlines the chores to keep the internal state of Decentralized App (DApp) and optimize the RPC calls to an Ethereum node. It does so with a declarative approach via an opinionated wrapper of SWR.

Ether-SWR follows the stale-while-revalidate (HTTP RFC 5861) concept: first it returns the data from cache (stale), then send the fetch request on chain, and finally come with the up-to-date data.

In case the same request is defined multiple times on the same rendered component tree only one request is made because SWR deduping process.

Installation

yarn add ether-swr

npm install --save ether-swr

API

Interact with Ethereum methods (e.g. getBalance, blockNumber)

const { data: balance } = useEtherSWR(['getBalance', 'latest'])

You can use all the methods provided by a Web3Provider from Ether.js

Interact with a smart contract (e.g ERC20 )

const { data: balance } = useEtherSWR([
  '0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f', // DAI contract
  'balanceOf', // Method
  '0x5d3a536e4d6dbd6114cc1ead35777bab948e3643' // holder
])

Make multiple requests at once with a smart contract (e.g ERC20 )

const { data: balances } = useEtherSWR([
  [
    '0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f', // DAI contract
    'balanceOf', // Method
    '0x5d3a536e4d6dbd6114cc1ead35777bab948e3643' // holder 1
  ],
  [
    '0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f', // DAI contract
    'balanceOf', // Method
    '0x5d3a536e4d6dbd6114cc1ead35777bab948e3643' // holder 2
  ]
])

You can use all the methods provided by a contract as long as you have provided the ABI associated to the smart contract

Subscribe to a topic

Subscribe to a topic refresh automatically the underline data once it's dispatched

const { data: balance, mutate } = useEtherSWR([address, 'balanceOf', account], {
  subscribe: [
    // A filter from anyone to me
    {
      name: 'Transfer',
      topics: [null, account]
    },
    // A filter from me to anyone
    {
      name: 'Transfer',
      topics: [account, null]
    }
  ]
})

return (
  <div>
    {parseFloat(formatUnits(balance, decimals)).toPrecision(4)} {symbol}
  </div>
)

Subscribe to a topic providing a callback allows to use an optimistic update

const { data: balance, mutate } = useEtherSWR([address, 'balanceOf', account], {
  subscribe: [
    // A filter from anyone to me
    {
      name: 'Transfer',
      topics: [null, account],
      on: (
        data: BigNumber,
        fromAddress: string,
        toAddress: string,
        amount: BigNumber,
        event: any
      ) => {
        console.log('receive', { event })
        const update = data.add(amount)
        mutate(update, false) // optimistic update skip re-fetch
      }
    },
    // A filter from me to anyone
    {
      name: 'Transfer',
      topics: [account, null],
      on: (
        data: BigNumber,
        fromAddress: string,
        toAddress: string,
        amount: BigNumber,
        event: any
      ) => {
        console.log('send', { event })
        const update = data.sub(amount)
        mutate(update, false) // optimistic update skip re-fetch
      }
    }
  ]
})

return (
  <div>
    {parseFloat(formatUnits(balance, decimals)).toPrecision(4)} {symbol}
  </div>
)

Getting Started

You can use EthSWRConfig to have a global fetcher capable of retrieving basic Ethereum information (e.g. block, getBalance) or directly interact with a smart contract mapped to its ABI. To keep the state fresh you can pass refreshInterval: 30000 to the value object so that behind the scene Ether-SWR will refresh every 30 seconds the data of all the keys mounted in the tree components.
