The mini app context provider is a wrapper around the @farcaster/miniapp-sdk package that provides additional Neynar-specific functionality. It handles mini app interactions, notification tracking, and analytics integration.

<MiniAppProvider />

This component provides the mini app context to its children. It should be placed at the root of your application or where mini app functionality is needed.

Usage:

import { MiniAppProvider } from "@neynar/react";

function App() {
  return (
    <MiniAppProvider 
      analyticsEnabled={true}
      backButtonEnabled={true}
      returnUrl="https://example.com/return"
    >
      <YourApp />
    </MiniAppProvider>
  );
}

useMiniApp()

This hook provides access to the mini app context and its functionality. It extends the base Farcaster MiniApp SDK with Neynar-specific features like notification tracking and analytics.

Returns:

• isSDKLoaded (boolean): Whether the mini app SDK has been loaded
• context (MiniAppContext | undefined): The current mini app context
• openUrl (function): Function to open a URL in the mini app
• close (function): Function to close the mini app
• added (boolean): Whether the mini app has been added
• notificationDetails (MiniAppNotificationDetails | null): Details about mini app notifications
• lastEvent (string): The last mini app event that occurred
• addMiniApp (function): Function to add the mini app
• addMiniAppResult (string): Result of the last add mini app attempt

Usage:

import { useMiniApp } from "@neynar/react";

function YourComponent() {
  const { 
    isSDKLoaded, 
    context, 
    openUrl, 
    close, 
    added, 
    notificationDetails,
    lastEvent,
    addMiniApp,
    addMiniAppResult 
  } = useMiniApp();

  // Use the mini app context functionality
  return (
    <div>
      {isSDKLoaded && (
        <button onClick={() => addMiniApp()}>
          Add Mini App
        </button>
      )}
      {addMiniAppResult && <p>{addMiniAppResult}</p>}
    </div>
  );
}

How to securely implement write actions

There are currently two components that offer props for developers to handle write actions: NeynarCastCard(write action handlers for cast reactions) and NeynarFeedCard(write action handlers for mini app interactions). We highly recommend that you call Neynar's POST APIs(or other intended APIs) from your own, authenticated server to ensure that your Neynar API key credentials are not exposed on the client-side. Check out the example app below for a guide and example of securely implementing write actions.
