# useWalletItemActions

> [card] Recommended: JavaScript SDK with React Hooks
>
> For new React apps, we recommend the JavaScript SDK with React Hooks (`@dynamic-labs-sdk/react-hooks`) instead of the legacy React SDK documented here. The JS SDK comes with many benefits such as a much smaller bundle size and other optimizations. Use the [React quickstart (JavaScript SDK)](https://docs.dynamic.xyz/docs/javascript/reference/react-quickstart.md) to get started.

### Summary

A hook with utility functions to sign with a specific wallet.

The hook needs to be initialized within a child of `DynamicContextProvier`

#### `openWallet` - available from version `v0.14.32`

Initiates the signing process for a specific wallet without opening the dynamic auth flow.

For example, you can create a button that will sign the user with MetaMask specifically.

```TypeScript theme={"system"}
const SignWithMetaMaskButton = () => {
  const { openWallet } = useWalletItemActions();

  return (
    <button onClick={() => openWallet('metamask')}>
      Sign with MetaMask
    </button>
  )
}
```
