Connect Nightly

This part of documentation assumes you have already completed the detection step and have

access to the Nightly wallet object. :::

To view the implementation of the connect method, and the ones described in the later chapters, visit our source code.

Source code: https://github.com/nightly-labs/aptos-web3-template/blob/main/app/components/StickyHeader.tsx​


In order to start using Nightly extension, an app needs to establish a connection. Once the connection request is initiated on the application side, it will prompt the user to provide permission to connect to the app with Nightly.

Connect​

To wrap the Nightly object acquired from the previous step with an adapter to allow seamless interaction, you should use the StandardWalletAdapter class from the @aptos-labs/wallet-standard.

We recommend calling connect() function, in order to establish connection with Nightly.

import { AptosWallet, NetworkInfo } from '@aptos-labs/wallet-standard';

  // Assuming nightly is the detected Nightly Wallet object
const adapter = nightly.standardWallet as AptosWallet;

await adapter.features['aptos:connect'].connect(SILENT_CONNECT, networkInfo);
note

The networkInfo object, which is of type NetworkInfo from @aptos-labs/wallet-standard, is used to specify which aptos network do we want to connect the adapter to. This will be explained further in a chapter - Changing adapter network.

Disconnect​

We recommend calling disconnect() function, in order to break connection with Nightly.

await adapter.features['aptos:disconnect'].disconnect()
