1. Torus Wallet integration

Quick start Torus wallet: https://docs.tor.us/torus-wallet/quick-start

If your application is already compatible with Metamask/other web3 providers, integrating the Torus Wallet would give you a provider to wrap the same web3 interface. You can install via a npm package or IPFS. or jsdelivr or unpkg. For more, please visit Torus documentation on wallet integration: https://docs.tor.us/getting-started#torus-wallet-integration

Install npm package

npm i @toruslabs/torus-embed

Example

torus-example.js

import Torus from "@toruslabs/torus-embed";

import Web3 from "web3";

const torus = new Torus({

buttonPosition: "top-left" // default: bottom-left

});

await torus.init({

buildEnv: "production", // default: production

enableLogging: true, // default: false

network: {

host: "mumbai", // default: mainnet

chainId: 80001, // default: 1

networkName: "Mumbai Test Network" // default: Main Ethereum Network

},

showTorusButton: false // default: true

});

await torus.login(); // await torus.ethereum.enable()

const web3 = new Web3(torus.provider);

2. DirectAuth integration

If you are looking to control your own UX, from login to every interaction, then DirectAuth is the integration for you. You can integrate via one of our SDKs depending on the platform/s you are building on. For more, please visit Torus direct auth integration: https://docs.tor.us/direct-auth/quick-start
