Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

@metamask/legacy-web3

MetaMask's legacy window.web3.

Motivation

MetaMask strongly recommends that you read our migration guide before using this package. You should only rely on this package if you need a temporary fix or are no longer actively developing your web3 site.

In the near future, MetaMask will stop injecting window.web3 into web pages. When we do this, if your website relies on MetaMask's window.web3 to function, it will break on that date unless you take action. Please refer to the original announcement if you want to know why we're doing this.

If you do not wish to take either of the recommended migration paths, we provide this library as a drop-in replacement for our injected window.web3. Simply add it to your site using one of the methods outlined below, and your Ethereum functionality will continue to work after we stop injecting window.web3.

You can add this package before we stop injecting window.web3, without disrupting the Ethereum functionality of your website.

Disclaimer

This package is designed to emulate the functionality of our injected window.web3. That said, we do not guarantee complete functional parity, and you may have to fix some bugs yourself. We also make no guarantees about future maintenance of this package, and it is unlikely to support any new features added to the MetaMask provider API.

Usage

As a <script> in your web page:

<html>
  <head>
    <!-- The legacy-web3 script must run BEFORE your other scripts. -->
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/@metamask/legacy-web3@latest/dist/metamask.web3.min.js"></script>
    <!-- Or: -->
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/@metamask/legacy-web3@latest/dist/metamask.web3.js"></script>
    ...
  </head>
  <body>
    ...
  </body>
</html>

Or add as a Node dependency:

yarn add @metamask/legacy-web3

# or

npm install @metamask/legacy-web3
import '@metamask/legacy-web3'

// or

require('@metamask/legacy-web3')

const { web3 } = window
const selectedAddress = web3.eth.defaultAccount

Initialization Criteria

This package will only initialize window.web3 under the following circumstances:

  • It detects an existing window.ethereum
  • It does not detect an existing window.web3

window.ethereum.isMetaMask can be true or falsy. If it is falsy and there is no existing window.web3, this package will initialize its window.web3, but there are no guarantees that it will work with non-MetaMask providers.
