Hiro Wallet—Web

Chrome Web Store Mozilla Add-on coverage semantic-release

Hiro Wallet is a web extension for managing your digital assets, and connecting to apps built on the Stacks blockchain.

To use this extension with your own Stacks App, we recommend @stacks/connect.

📚 See Hiro Wallet API Reference →

Development

This application is a Web Extension. There is no ability to run it as a standalone web application.

Each child of the src directory represents the JavaScript context in which it is ran.

Dev mode

When working on the extension, you can run it in development mode which will watch for any file changes and use react-refresh to update the extension as you work. This gives us near instant reloading of our changes, and persists the state of the application between changes. To start development mode for the extension, run this command:

yarn dev

Optional: run test app

We bundle a test app to use along with the extension. It gives easy access to the various functions that the extension can do.

In a separate terminal, run:

yarn dev:test-app

Loading extension in your browser

You'll need to add it to your browser of choice. Hiro Wallet only supports Chromium and Firefox browsers. When you run yarn dev, it will compile the application to the /dist folder

Production

See instructions on Hiro.so for installing from source for production usage.

Alternatively, the following steps can be taken by technical users with the latest version of node installed on their machines.

Build from source

Run the following from within this repository's root directory if you've pulled it with Git:

yarn && yarn build && sh build-ext.sh

The extension will be packaged as stacks-wallet-chromium.zip.
