## Implementation

### AppKitProvider Component

AppKit now provides an `AppKitProvider` React component for easy integration in React applications. This component wraps your app and provides the AppKit context to all child components.

```tsx theme={null}
import { AppKitProvider } from '@reown/appkit/react'

function App() {
  return (
    <AppKitProvider
      projectId="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
      networks={[
        /* Your Networks */
      ]}
    >
      {/* Your App */}
    </AppKitProvider>
  )
}
```

### Framework-Specific Implementation

    <Card title="wagmi Example" icon="github" href="https://github.com/reown-com/appkit-web-examples/tree/main/react/react-wagmi">
      Check the React wagmi example
    </Card>

    For a quick integration, you can use the `createAppKit` function with a unified configuration. This automatically applies the predefined configurations for different adapters like Wagmi, Ethers, or Solana, so you no longer need to manually configure each one individually. Simply pass the common parameters such as `projectId`, `chains`, `metadata`, etc., and the function will handle the adapter-specific configurations under the hood.

    This includes WalletConnect, Coinbase and Injected connectors, and the [Blockchain API](../../../../cloud/blockchain-api) as a [transport](https://wagmi.sh/core/api/createConfig#transports)

    On top of your app set up the following configuration, making sure that all functions are called **outside** any React component to avoid unwanted rerenders.

    ```tsx theme={null}
    import { createAppKit } from '@reown/appkit/react'

    import { WagmiProvider } from 'wagmi'
    import { arbitrum, mainnet } from '@reown/appkit/networks'
    import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query'
    import { WagmiAdapter } from '@reown/appkit-adapter-wagmi'

    // 0. Setup queryClient
    const queryClient = new QueryClient()

    // 1. Get projectId from https://dashboard.reown.com
    const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'

    // 2. Create a metadata object - optional
    const metadata = {
      name: 'AppKit',
      description: 'AppKit Example',
      url: 'https://example.com', // origin must match your domain & subdomain
      icons: ['https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/179229932']
    }

    // 3. Set the networks
    const networks = [mainnet, arbitrum]

    // 4. Create Wagmi Adapter
    const wagmiAdapter = new WagmiAdapter({
      networks,
      projectId,
      ssr: true
    })

    // 5. Create modal
    createAppKit({
      adapters: [wagmiAdapter],
      networks,
      projectId,
      metadata,
      features: {
        analytics: true // Optional - defaults to your Cloud configuration
      }
    })

    export function AppKitProvider({ children }) {
      return (
        <WagmiProvider config={wagmiAdapter.wagmiConfig}>
          <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>
        </WagmiProvider>
      )
    }
    ```

    ## Importing networks

    Reown AppKit use [Viem](https://viem.sh/) networks under the hood, which provide a wide variety of networks for EVM chains. You can find all the networks supported by Viem within the `@reown/appkit/networks` path.

    ```js {2} theme={null}
    import { createAppKit } from '@reown/appkit'
    import { mainnet, arbitrum, base, scroll, polygon } from '@reown/appkit/networks'
    ```

    </Card>

    For a quick integration of Appkit Core you can use the `UniversalConnector` class. Which simplifies the integration of Appkit Core by providing a single interface for all the blockchain protocols.

    You can configure the Universal Connector with the networks you want to support.
    For more information, please visit [RPC Reference](https://docs.reown.com/advanced/multichain/rpc-reference/cosmos-rpc) section from our docs.

    We recommend creating a config file to establish a singleton instance for the Universal Connector:

    ```tsx theme={null}
    import type { AppKitNetwork } from '@reown/appkit/networks'
    import type { CustomCaipNetwork } from '@reown/appkit-common'
    import { UniversalConnector } from '@reown/appkit-universal-connector'

    // Get projectId from https://dashboard.reown.com
    export const projectId = import.meta.env.VITE_PROJECT_ID || "b56e18d47c72ab683b10814fe9495694" // this is a public projectId only to use on localhost

    if (!projectId) {
      throw new Error('Project ID is not defined')
    }

    // you can configure your own network
    const suiMainnet: CustomCaipNetwork<'sui'> = {
      id: 784,
      chainNamespace: 'sui' as const,
      caipNetworkId: 'sui:mainnet',
      name: 'Sui',
      nativeCurrency: { name: 'SUI', symbol: 'SUI', decimals: 9 },
      rpcUrls: { default: { http: ['https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443'] } }
    }


    export async function getUniversalConnector() {
      const universalConnector = await UniversalConnector.init({
        projectId,
        metadata: {
          name: 'Universal Connector',
          description: 'Universal Connector',
          url: 'https://appkit.reown.com',
          icons: ['https://appkit.reown.com/icon.png']
        },
        networks: [

            methods: ['sui_signPersonalMessage'],
            chains: [suiMainnet as CustomCaipNetwork],

    ```tsx theme={null}
    import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
    import { getUniversalConnector } from './config' // previous config file
    import { UniversalConnector } from '@reown/appkit-universal-connector'

    export function App() {
      const [universalConnector, setUniversalConnector] = useState<UniversalConnector>()
      const [session, setSession] = useState<any>()

      
      // Initialize the Universal Connector on component mount
      useEffect(() => {
        getUniversalConnector().then(setUniversalConnector)
      }, [])

      // Set the session state in case it changes
      useEffect(() => {
        setSession(universalConnector?.provider.session)
      }, [universalConnector?.provider.session])
    ```

## Trigger the modal

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Wagmi">
    To open AppKit you can use our [**web component**](/appkit/react/core/components) or build your own button with AppKit [**hooks**](/appkit/react/core/hooks#useAppKit).
    In this example we are going to use the `<appkit-button>` component.

    Web components are global html elements that don't require importing.

    ```tsx theme={null}
    export default function ConnectButton() {
      return <appkit-button />

## Alternative Installation

If you are starting from scratch, you can use the following methods to set up your project with Reown AppKit.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Set up Reown AppKit using AI">
    If you're using Cursor IDE (or another AI based IDE) to build a project with Reown AppKit, Reown provides a `.mdc` file that enhances your development experience. The `reown-appkit.mdc` [file here](https://github.com/reown-com/reown-docs/blob/main/reown-appkit.mdc) contains Cursor-specific rules and type hints for Reown AppKit.

    To use it in your project:

    1. Copy the `reown-appkit.mdc` file from this repository
    2. Create a `.cursor/rules` folder in your project's root directory (if it doesn't exist)
    3. Place the `.mdc` file in your project's `.cursor/rules` folder

    For more info, refer to [Cursor's documentation](https://docs.cursor.com/context/rules#project-rules).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="AppKit CLI">
    Reown offers a dedicated CLI to set up a minimal version of AppKit in the easiest and quickest way possible.

    To do this, please run the command below.

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx @reown/appkit-cli
    ```

    After running the command, you will be prompted to confirm the installation of the CLI. Upon your confirmation, the CLI will request the following details:

    1. **Project Name**: Enter the name for your project.
    2. **Framework**: Select your preferred framework or library. Currently, you have three options: React, Next.js, and Vue.
    3. **Network-Specific libraries**: Choose whether you want to install Wagmi, Ethers, Solana, or Multichain (EVM + Solana).

    After providing the project name and selecting your preferences, the CLI will install a minimal example of AppKit with your preferred blockchain library. The example will be pre-configured with a `projectId` that will only work on `localhost`.

    To fully configure your project, please obtain a `projectId` from the Reown Dashboard and update your project accordingly.

    **Refer to [this section](#cloud-configuration) for more information.**
