  options: {
    shimDisconnect: true,
  },
});

    qrcode: true,
  },
});

Installation

Install the @wagmi/connectors package.

npm i @wagmi/connectors

Usage

Configure your wagmi client with connectors!

import { configureChains, createClient } from 'wagmi'

import { InjectedConnector } from '@wagmi/connectors/injected'

const { chains, provider } = configureChains(...)

const client = createClient({
  connectors: [
    new InjectedConnector({ chains }),
  ],
  provider,
})

If your bundler supports tree-shaking (most likely), only the used connectors will be included in the bundle, so you don't have to worry about bundle size. 😊
