@metamask/transaction-insights-example-snap

This snap demonstrates how to use the endowment:transaction-insight permission to provide transaction insights to the user. This snap uses the onTransaction handler to provide insights for transactions that are sent by the user.

Transaction insights are displayed in the transaction confirmation screen, and can show any Snaps-based UI components.

Snap manifest

Note: Using onTransaction requires the endowment:transaction-insight permissions. Refer to the documentation for more information.

Along with other permissions, the manifest of this snap includes the endowment:transaction-insight permission:

{
  "initialPermissions": {
    "endowment:network-access": {}
  }
}

By default, the onTransaction does not receive the transaction origin. If you want to receive the origin, you can add the allowTransactionOrigin property to the permission definition:

{
  "initialPermissions": {
    "endowment:transaction-insight": {
      "allowTransactionOrigin": true
    }
  }
}

Snap usage

This snap exposes an onTransaction handler, which is called when a transaction is sent by the user. The handler receives the transaction details and the transaction origin (if the allowTransactionOrigin property is set to true).

The snap decodes the transaction data and returns the decoded data as the transaction insight.

For more information, you can refer to the end-to-end tests.
