@web3-onboard/transaction-preview
A modular UI for previewing a single or set of unsigned Ethereum transactions.

Full Transaction Preview package documentation available here
Full Simulation Platform API documentation can be found here
Install
NPM
npm i @web3-onboard/core @web3-onboard/injected @web3-onboard/transaction-preview
Yarn
yarn add @web3-onboard/core @web3-onboard/injected @web3-onboard/transaction-preview
Usage with Web3-Onboard Core package

To use the Transaction Preview package with web3-onboard all a developer needs to do is initialize web3-onboard with their Blocknative API key and pass in the module as shown below.
import Onboard from '@web3-onboard/core'
import injectedModule from '@web3-onboard/injected'
import transactionPreviewModule from '@web3-onboard/transaction-preview'
const injected = injectedModule()
const transactionPreview = transactionPreviewModule({
})
const onboard = Onboard({
transactionPreview,
apiKey: 'xxx387fb-bxx1-4xxc-a0x3-9d37e426xxxx'
wallets: [injected],
chains: [
{
id: '0x1',
token: 'ETH',
label: 'Ethereum',
rpcUrl: 'https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/17c1e1500e384acfb6a72c5d2e67742e'
}
]
})
Standalone Usage
To use the Transaction Preview package without web3-onboard all a developer needs to do is:
- Execute the entry function from the
@web3-onboard/transaction-preview
package and optional params - Run the returned
init
function with their Blocknative API key, an initialized instance of their Blocknative SDK and a containerElement string with the html ID of the target element to append the visualization to - Finally pass a transaction meant for a wallet provider (created using libraries like Ethers or Web3)
With the above steps a UI will be rendered with the balance changes and gas used.
