Welcome

This guide will help you get started with Hermis. Whether you’re building a new dApp or integrating wallet functionality into an existing application, we’ll walk you through the setup process.

​
Choose Your Path

React

Start with React hooks and providers

Adapter Base

Vanilla TypeScript implementation for any framework

​
Installation

Choose the package that best fits your needs: 
npm install @hermis/solana-headless-react @solana/web3.js
This package includes everything you need for React applications, including hooks and context providers.
Both packages work seamlessly with @solana/web3.js and @solana/kit with identical APIs.

​
Quick Setup

Here’s a minimal example to get you started: 
import { HermisProvider, useWallet } from '@hermis/solana-headless-react';
import { Connection, clusterApiUrl } from '@solana/web3.js';

function App() {
  const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl('mainnet-beta'));

  return (
    <HermisProvider
      connection={connection}
      autoConnect={false}
    >
      <WalletButton />
    </HermisProvider>
  );
}

function WalletButton() {
  const { connect, disconnect, connected, publicKey } = useWallet();

  return (
    <button onClick={connected ? disconnect : connect}>
      {connected ? `Connected: ${publicKey?.toBase58()}` : 'Connect Wallet'}
    </button>
  );
}
Zero Breaking Changes: Notice how the Hermis integration code remains identical across @solana/web3.js and @solana/kit—only the Solana library imports and connection setup change.

​
Configuration Options

Configure Hermis to match your application’s needs:
​
network
string
default:"mainnet-beta"
The Solana network to connect to: mainnet-beta, devnet, or testnet
​
autoConnect

The commitment level for transactions: processed, confirmed, or finalized
​
