MetaMascara(mascara) brings metamask when metamask is not installed.
Disclaimer:
MetaMascar is in alpha expect breaking changes
to use as a CDN put this script tag in the <head>
of your html file:
<script src="https://wallet.metamask.io/metamascara.js"></script>
or bring your own:
npm i --save metamascara
const metamask = require('metamascara')
const EthJs = require('ethjs')
// mascara will use the environmental provider if the user brings one
// in the form of metamask extension, mist or parity
// other wise it will make one for you :}
const ethereumProvider = metamask.createDefaultProvider()
const eth = new EthJs(ethereumProvider)
// do stuff...
Developing:
For development with metamask-extension/mascara to point the iframe at localhost just do:
const metamask = require('metamascara')
const ethereumProvider = metamask.createDefaultProvider({
host: 'http://localhost:9001'
}) // or what ever port you use
How does it work and how to use it:
Mascara is an iframe that acts as a proxy between your dapp and metamask core. The metamask core is the global context housed in a service worker, it does the key management for every dapp the user visits.
todo's:
- [ ] have an option to load metamask core off IPFS (relies on metamask issue 2163)
- [ ] Subresource Integrity
