Usage

Inside CryptKeeper Browser Extension (Connector)

In the CryptKeeper browser extension's connector/cryptkeeper, it uses initializeCryptKeeperProvider function from the @cryptkeeperzk/providers package to initialize the CryptKeeper provider.

import { initializeCryptKeeperProvider } from "@cryptkeeperzk/providers";

const cryptkeeperInjectedProvider = initializeCryptKeeperProvider();

This initializes the CryptKeeper provider within the extension and allows applications to communicate with CryptKeeper seamlessly.

Inside an Application

To connect and communicate with CryptKeeper from an external application, use the cryptkeeperConnect function from @cryptkeeperzk/providers:

import { cryptkeeperConnect, type CryptKeeperInjectedProvider } from "@cryptkeeperzk/providers";

const cryptkeeperClient = await cryptkeeperConnect();

The cryptkeeperConnect function establishes a connection with CryptKeeper and returns a CryptKeeperInjectedProvider instance if CryptKeeper is installed, or undefined otherwise. You can await the function call to ensure the connection is established before proceeding with further operations.
