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) 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.
const SignWithMetaMaskButton = () => {
  const { openWallet } = useWalletItemActions();

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