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/movement-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.

When working with Movement, it's important to specify the network information and pass it

into the connect method. While you can update the network later using a dedicated method Changing adapter network , we recommend setting it upfront for a more robust and consistent experience. :::

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

// THIS IS THE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE
const networkInfo: NetworkInfo = {
  chainId: 126, // Movement Mainnet chain ID
  name: Network.CUSTOM,
};

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

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

In the table below you can see the network info params for all supported movement networks.

Network	chainId	name
Movement Mainnet	126	Network.CUSTOM
Bardock Testnet	250	Network.CUSTOM

Disconnect

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

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