Create a Hedera DApp Integrated with WalletConnect
In the dynamic world of decentralized applications (DApps), catering to users with diverse wallet preferences is important.
Explore DApp development using the Mirror Node API and Hedera Token Service (HTS). Discover how to integrate HTS functionality into your DApp for seamless token management and transactions. This guide uses React, Material UI, Ethers, and TypeScript with the Create React App (CRA) Hedera DApp template integrated with walletconnect, streamlining your development process.
What you will accomplish
Prerequisites
Before you begin, you should be familiar with the following:
Open your newly created react app project with visual studio code. You should see the following file structure.
2. Fetching Token Data: Writing Mirror Node API Queries
Mirror nodes offer access to historical data from the Hedera network while optimizing the use of network resources. You can easily retrieve information like transactions, records, events, and balances. Visit the mirror node API docs to learn more.
In vscode open the file located at src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts.
This file creates a mirror node client and is used to fetch data from the mirror nodes. We will add new code to help us obtain information about the tokens we currently own.
This client is configured for the Hedera Testnet. For further configuration, go to src/config/network.ts.
2.1 Query Account Token Balances by Account ID
We'll use the Mirror Node API to query information about the tokens we currently own and the quantities of those tokens.
Open src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts and paste the below interface outside of and above the MirrorNodeClient class.
This interface defines the data fields we need for our DApp, filtering out any extra data from the mirror node response.
Paste the below HTTP GET request outside of and below the MirrorNodeClient class in the src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts file.
// Purpose: get token balances for an account
// Returns: an array of MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalance
async getAccountTokenBalances(accountId: AccountId) {
// get token balances
const tokenBalanceInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}/api/v1/accounts/${accountId}/tokens?limit=100`, { method: "GET" });
const tokenBalanceInfoJson = await tokenBalanceInfo.json();
const tokenBalances = [...tokenBalanceInfoJson.tokens] as MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalance[];
// because the mirror node API paginates results, we need to check if there are more results
// if links.next is not null, then there are more results and we need to fetch them until links.next is null
let nextLink = tokenBalanceInfoJson.links.next;
while (nextLink !== null) {
const nextTokenBalanceInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}${nextLink}`, { method: "GET" });
const nextTokenBalanceInfoJson = await nextTokenBalanceInfo.json();
tokenBalances.push(...nextTokenBalanceInfoJson.tokens);
nextLink = nextTokenBalanceInfoJson.links.next;
}
return tokenBalances;
}
File Checkpoint
To ensure you're on the right track, your `src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts` file should look like below.
import { AccountId } from "@hashgraph/sdk";
import { NetworkConfig } from "../../config";
export interface MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalance {
balance: number,
token_id: string,
}
export class MirrorNodeClient {
url: string;
constructor(networkConfig: NetworkConfig) {
this.url = networkConfig.mirrorNodeUrl;
}
// Purpose: get token balances for an account
// Returns: an array of MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalance
async getAccountTokenBalances(accountId: AccountId) {
// get token balances
const tokenBalanceInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}/api/v1/accounts/${accountId}/tokens?limit=100`, { method: "GET" });
const tokenBalanceInfoJson = await tokenBalanceInfo.json();
const tokenBalances = [...tokenBalanceInfoJson.tokens] as MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalance[];
// because the mirror node API paginates results, we need to check if there are more results
// if links.next is not null, then there are more results and we need to fetch them until links.next is null
let nextLink = tokenBalanceInfoJson.links.next;
while (nextLink !== null) {
const nextTokenBalanceInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}${nextLink}`, { method: "GET" });
const nextTokenBalanceInfoJson = await nextTokenBalanceInfo.json();
tokenBalances.push(...nextTokenBalanceInfoJson.tokens);
nextLink = nextTokenBalanceInfoJson.links.next;
}
return tokenBalances;
}
async getAccountInfo(accountId: AccountId) {
const accountInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}/api/v1/accounts/${accountId}`, { method: "GET" });
const accountInfoJson = await accountInfo.json();
return accountInfoJson;
}
}
2.2 Query Token Information by Token ID
In the previous step we wrote code to obtain the current token balance of an account. Next we will retieve the type of token (Non-Fungible or Fungible), decimal precision, token name and symbol.
Open src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts and paste the interface outside of and above the MirrorNodeClient class.
Paste the below HTTP GET request outside of and below the getAccountTokenBalances function in the src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts file.
// Purpose: get token info for a token
// Returns: a MirrorNodeTokenInfo
async getTokenInfo(tokenId: string) {
const tokenInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}/api/v1/tokens/${tokenId}`, { method: "GET" });
const tokenInfoJson = await tokenInfo.json() as MirrorNodeTokenInfo;
return tokenInfoJson;
}
2.3 Query Account NFT Information by AccountID
In the previous step we wrote code to obtain the token details (token type, decimals, name, and symbol). Next we will retrieve the NFT serial numbers that are owned.
Open src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts and paste the interface outside of and above the MirrorNodeClient class.
Paste the below HTTP GET request outside of and below the getTokenInfo function in the src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts file.
// Purpose: get NFT Infor for an account
// Returns: an array of NFTInfo
async getNftInfo(accountId: AccountId) {
const nftInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}/api/v1/accounts/${accountId}/nfts?limit=100`, { method: "GET" });
const nftInfoJson = await nftInfo.json();
const nftInfos = [...nftInfoJson.nfts] as MirrorNodeNftInfo[];
// because the mirror node API paginates results, we need to check if there are more results
// if links.next is not null, then there are more results and we need to fetch them until links.next is null
let nextLink = nftInfoJson.links.next;
while (nextLink !== null) {
const nextNftInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}${nextLink}`, { method: "GET" });
const nextNftInfoJson = await nextNftInfo.json();
nftInfos.push(...nextNftInfoJson.nfts);
nextLink = nextNftInfoJson.links.next;
}
return nftInfos;
}
2.4 Combine Account Token Balances and Token Information via Data Aggregation
We need to combine all of our HTTP response data in order to display our available tokens in our DApp.
Open src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts and paste the interface outside of and above the MirrorNodeClient class.
Paste the function outside of and below the getNftInfo function in the src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts file.
// Purpose: get token balances for an account with token info in order to display token balance, token type, decimals, etc.
// Returns: an array of MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalanceWithInfo
async getAccountTokenBalancesWithTokenInfo(accountId: AccountId): Promise<MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalanceWithInfo[]> {
//1. Retrieve all token balances in the account
const tokens = await this.getAccountTokenBalances(accountId);
//2. Create a map of token IDs to token info and fetch token info for each token
const tokenInfos = new Map<string, MirrorNodeTokenInfo>();
for (const token of tokens) {
const tokenInfo = await this.getTokenInfo(token.token_id);
tokenInfos.set(tokenInfo.token_id, tokenInfo);
}
//3. Fetch all NFT info in account
const nftInfos = await this.getNftInfo(accountId);
//4. Create a map of token Ids to arrays of serial numbers
const tokenIdToSerialNumbers = new Map<string, number[]>();
for (const nftInfo of nftInfos) {
const tokenId = nftInfo.token_id;
const serialNumber = nftInfo.serial_number;
// if we haven't seen this token_id before, create a new array with the serial number
if (!tokenIdToSerialNumbers.has(tokenId)) {
tokenIdToSerialNumbers.set(tokenId, [serialNumber]);
} else {
// if we have seen this token_id before, add the serial number to the array
tokenIdToSerialNumbers.get(tokenId)!.push(serialNumber);
}
}
//5. Combine token balances, token info, and NFT info and return
return tokens.map(token => {
return {
...token,
info: tokenInfos.get(token.token_id)!,
nftSerialNumbers: tokenIdToSerialNumbers.get(token.token_id)
}
});
}
The getAccountTokenBalancesWithTokenInfo combines token balances, token info and, NFT info in order to display our available tokens in our DApp.
Complete `mirrorNodeClient.ts` file Checkpoint
To ensure you're on the right track, your `src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts` file should look like below.
import { AccountId } from "@hashgraph/sdk";
import { NetworkConfig } from "../../config";
export interface MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalance {

let nextLink = tokenBalanceInfoJson.links.next;
while (nextLink !== null) {
const nextTokenBalanceInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}${nextLink}`, { method: "GET" });
const nextTokenBalanceInfoJson = await nextTokenBalanceInfo.json();
tokenBalances.push(...nextTokenBalanceInfoJson.tokens);
nextLink = nextTokenBalanceInfoJson.links.next;
}
return tokenBalances;
}
// Purpose: get token info for a token
// Returns: a MirrorNodeTokenInfo
async getTokenInfo(tokenId: string) {
const tokenInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}/api/v1/tokens/${tokenId}`, { method: "GET" });
const tokenInfoJson = await tokenInfo.json() as MirrorNodeTokenInfo;
return tokenInfoJson;
}
// Purpose: get NFT Infor for an account
// Returns: an array of NFTInfo
async getNftInfo(accountId: AccountId) {
const nftInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}/api/v1/accounts/${accountId}/nfts?limit=100`, { method: "GET" });

let nextLink = nftInfoJson.links.next;
while (nextLink !== null) {
const nextNftInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}${nextLink}`, { method: "GET" });
const nextNftInfoJson = await nextNftInfo.json();
nftInfos.push(...nextNftInfoJson.nfts);
nextLink = nextNftInfoJson.links.next;
}
return nftInfos;
}
// Purpose: get token balances for an account with token info in order to display token balance, token type, decimals, etc.
// Returns: an array of MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalanceWithInfo
async getAccountTokenBalancesWithTokenInfo(accountId: AccountId): Promise<MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalanceWithInfo[]> {
//1. Retrieve all token balances in the account

}
//5. Combine token balances, token info, and NFT info and return
return tokens.map(token => {
return {
...token,
info: tokenInfos.get(token.token_id)!,
nftSerialNumbers: tokenIdToSerialNumbers.get(token.token_id)
}
});
}
async getAccountInfo(accountId: AccountId) {
const accountInfo = await fetch(`${this.url}/api/v1/accounts/${accountId}`, { method: "GET" });
const accountInfoJson = await accountInfo.json();
return accountInfoJson;
}
}
2.5 Add Token Association Support
Before a user can receive a new token, they must associate with it. This association helps protect users from receiving unwanted tokens.
Open src/services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient.ts and paste the function below the getAccountTokenBalancesWithTokenInfo function.
// Purpose: check if an account is associated with a token
// Returns: true if the account is associated with the token, false otherwise
async isAssociated(accountId: AccountId, tokenId: string) {
const accountTokenBalance = await this.getAccountTokenBalances(accountId);
return accountTokenBalance.some(token => token.token_id === tokenId);
}
3. Adding in the User Interface
In this step, we'll copy and paste the home.tsx file, which contains all the necessary code for adding UI components that enable token transfers and association with a token.
Open src/pages/Home.tsx and replace the existing code by pasting the below code:
`Home.tx` file
import { Button, MenuItem, TextField, Typography } from "@mui/material";
import { Stack } from "@mui/system";
import { useWalletInterface } from "../services/wallets/useWalletInterface";
import SendIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Send';
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { AccountId, TokenId } from "@hashgraph/sdk";
import { MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalanceWithInfo, MirrorNodeClient } from "../services/wallets/mirrorNodeClient";
import { appConfig } from "../config";
const UNSELECTED_SERIAL_NUMBER = -1;
export default function Home() {
const { walletInterface, accountId } = useWalletInterface();
const [toAccountId, setToAccountId] = useState("");
const [amount, setAmount] = useState<number>(0);
// include all of this necessary for dropdown
const [availableTokens, setAvailableTokens] = useState<MirrorNodeAccountTokenBalanceWithInfo[]>([]);
const [selectedTokenId, setSelectedTokenId] = useState<string>('');
const [serialNumber, setSerialNumber] = useState<number>(UNSELECTED_SERIAL_NUMBER);
const [tokenIdToAssociate, setTokenIdToAssociate] = useState("");
// include all of this necessary for dropdown
// Purpose: Get the account token balances with token info for the current account and set them to state
useEffect(() => {
if (accountId === null) {
return;
}
const mirrorNodeClient = new MirrorNodeClient(appConfig.networks.testnet);
// Get token balance with token info for the current account
mirrorNodeClient.getAccountTokenBalancesWithTokenInfo(AccountId.fromString(accountId)).then((tokens) => {
// set to state
setAvailableTokens(tokens);
console.log(tokens);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});
}, [accountId])
// include all of this necessary for dropdown
// Filter out tokens with a balance of 0
const tokensWithNonZeroBalance = availableTokens.filter((token) => token.balance > 0);
// include all of this necessary for dropdown
// Get the selected token balance with info
const selectedTokenBalanceWithInfo = availableTokens.find((token) => token.token_id === selectedTokenId);
// include all of this necessary for dropdown
// reset amount and serial number when token id changes
useEffect(() => {
setAmount(0);
setSerialNumber(UNSELECTED_SERIAL_NUMBER);
}, [selectedTokenId]);

The crucial part of the code is found within the following code:
// include all of this necessary for dropdown
// Purpose: Get the account token balances with token info for the current account and set them to state
useEffect(() => {
if (accountId === null) {
return;
}
const mirrorNodeClient = new MirrorNodeClient(appConfig.networks.testnet);
// Get token balance with token info for the current account
mirrorNodeClient.getAccountTokenBalancesWithTokenInfo(AccountId.fromString(accountId)).then((tokens) => {
// set to state
setAvailableTokens(tokens);
console.log(tokens);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});
}, [accountId])
This code fetches and updates the list of tokens a user owns providing the available tokens to the dropdown menu.
4. Testing DApp Functionality
The application is ready to be started and tested. You will be testing:
4.1 Test Setup
You'll be creating four Hedera Testnet accounts, each with a balance of 10 HBAR. Two of these accounts will come pre-loaded with their own fungible tokens, and four accounts will come pre-loaded with their own non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Open a new terminal window and create a new directory and change into that directory
mkdirhedera-test-accounts&&cdhedera-test-accounts
Open hedera-test-accounts folder in a new visual studio code window.
Create a new file and name it .env with the following contents. Remember to enter your account ID and your private key.
Import the sender and receiver accounts that were just outputted into your preferred wallet application. (MetaMask, HashPack, Blade, or Kabila)
For assistance on how to import a Hedera account into MetaMask refer to our documentation here.
Rename your imported accounts within your preferred wallet to keep track which is the sender and receiver account.
4.3 Start the DApp
Navigate back to your application in Visual Studio Code, and in the terminal, run the following command
npmrunstart
4.4 Connect to DApp as the Receiver
Click the Connect Wallet button in the upper right and select MetaMask and select the Sender account.
WalletConnect Instructions
Open HashPack and unlock your wallet
Go back to the DApp homepage and click 'Connect Wallet'
Choose WalletConnect
Copy the connection string
Open HashPack and connect to DApp by clicking on the world in the upper right
Paste the walletconnect string into HashPack pairing string textbox
Select the Receiver account to connect with the DApp
✅ You're connected!
4.5 Associate Receiver Account with Sender Account NFT
Open the output of the test accounts you created earlier and copy the ecdsaWithAlias Sender's account NftTokenId
Paste the NftTokenId in the DApps associate token textbox and click the button Associate
MetaMask will prompt you to sign the transaction. If the extension does not automatically open, you will need to manually click on the MetaMask extension.
Confirm the transaction
The react template uses the Hashio JSON RPC Relay URL to work with MetaMask. If you are experiencing degraded performance, follow this guide to switch to Arkhia or set up your own JSON RPC Relay. Edit the src/config/networks.ts with the new JSON RPC Relay URL.
4.6 Transfer NFT to Receiver Account
Disconnect as the Receiver account and reconnect with the Sender account. To do this, open the MetaMask extension, click on the three dots in the upper right, select "Connected Sites," and then disconnect the Receiver account. All other wallets disconnect by clicking on your account ID in the upper right of the DApp homepage.
Connect to the DApp as the Sender Account.
As the Sender,
Select from available tokens the HederaNFT
Select the NFT with serial number 5 from the drop-down menu.
Enter the account ID or EVM address of the Receiver account.
Click the "send" button.
Sign the transaction on MetaMask to complete the transfer of the NFT from the Sender to the receiver account.
4.7 Verify Receiver Account Receieved the NFT
Disconnect as the Sender account and reconnect as the Receiver account.
Check the dropdown menu and ensure the Receiver account has NFT serial number 5.
Try with HashPack, Blade or Kabila
Optionally, import your accounts into any of the above Hedera native wallets and test out transferring more tokens.
Complete
🎉 Congratulations! You have successfully walked through creating a Hedera DApp that transfers HTS tokens using MetaMask, HashPack, Blade, or Kabila.
