@metamask/inpage-provider - npm Package Versions

[8.1.0] - 2021-05-05

Added

• BaseProvider, implementing EIP-1193 without any legacy features (#144)
• createExternalExtensionProvider, from the extension-provider package (#152)

[8.0.4] - 2021-02-04

Fixed

• Fix warning on second currentProvider access (#138)

[8.0.3] - 2021-01-20

Fixed

• Restore 'data' provider event (#135)

[8.0.2] - 2021-01-12

Changed

• Reduce window.web3 shim console noise (#133)

[8.0.1] - 2020-12-08

Fixed

• Fix 8.0.0 types (#127)

[8.0.0] - 2020-12-07

Added

• Add logger parameter to initializeProvider (#116)
• Add window.web3 shim, shimWeb3 export (#113, #115)
  • This is to maintain window.web3.currentProvider once MetaMask stops injecting window.web3 (very soon), and to log attempts to access any properties on the shim other than currentProvider.
  • initializeWeb3 now has a shouldShimWeb3 argument, which causes the shim to be set as window.web3 if true.

Changed

• BREAKING: Rename initProvider export to initializeProvider (#114)
• BREAKING: Replace ethereum.publicConfigStore with new set of JSON-RPC notifications (#109)

Removed

• BREAKING: Remove _metamask.isEnabled and _metamask.isApproved (#112)
• BREAKING: Remove the chainIdChanged event (#111)
• BREAKING: Remove ethereum.publicConfigStore (#109)
• BREAKING: Remove web3.js-related functionality (#106)
  • This functionality caused the page to reload if there was a web3.js instance at window.web3, and kept web3.eth.defaultAccount in sync with ethereum.selectedAddress.
  • This functionality is replicated in @metamask/legacy-web3.

Fixed

• Correctly implement connect and disconnect events (#120)
  • See EIP-1193 for the specification of these events.
  • disconnect emits with an RPC error. Like all such errors emitted by this module, they have a code property with a number value. There are currently two codes:
    • 1013 indicates that MetaMask is attempting to reestablish the connection
    • 1011 indicates that a page reload is required
• Send page metadata even if page is already loaded (#119)
• Convert MetaMaskInpageProvider logger to instance variable (#118)
  • Previously, it was erroneously a singleton across all class instances.
• Stop emitting state change events on initialization (#117)
  • Includes accountsChanged, chainChanged, and networkChanged.
  • This prevents sites that handle any of these events by reloading the page from entering into a reload loop.

[7.0.0] - 2020-09-08

[6.1.1] - 2020-07-28

Changed
