# Wallet Setup

We're going to use the Stellar Wallet Kit, and setup all the configuration in order to sign transactions.

## Custom Hook

We are going to use a custom hook in order to manage the actions of connect and disconnect wallet by using the Wallet Context and the wallet kit.

```typescript
import { kit } from "@/config/wallet-kit";
import { useWalletContext } from "@/providers/wallet.provider";
import { ISupportedWallet } from "@creit.tech/stellar-wallets-kit";

export const useWallet = () => {
  // Get wallet info from wallet context
  const { setWalletInfo, clearWalletInfo } = useWalletContext();

  /**
   * Connect to a wallet using the Stellar Wallet Kit and set the wallet info in the wallet context
   */
  const connectWallet = async () => {
    await kit.openModal({
      modalTitle: "Connect to your favorite wallet",
      onWalletSelected: async (option: ISupportedWallet) => {
        kit.setWallet(option.id);

        const { address } = await kit.getAddress();
        const { name } = option;

        setWalletInfo(address, name);
      },
    });
  };

  /**
   * Disconnect from the wallet using the Stellar Wallet Kit and clear the wallet info in the wallet context
   */
  const disconnectWallet = async () => {
    await kit.disconnect();
    clearWalletInfo();
  };

  /**
   * Handle the connection to the wallet by some button click
   */
  const handleConnect = async () => {
    try {
      await connectWallet();
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Error connecting wallet:", error);
    }
  };

  /**
   * Handle the disconnection to the wallet by some button click
   */
  const handleDisconnect = async () => {
    try {
      await disconnectWallet();
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Error disconnecting wallet:", error);
    }
  };

  return {
    connectWallet,
    disconnectWallet,
    handleConnect,
    handleDisconnect,
  };
};

```

The "handleConnect" and  "handleDisconnect" functions you can use with buttons in order to call the wallet connect modal or empty their state.

## Helpers

All endpoints need your signature by wallet. The Stellar Wallet Kit provides that functionality, but we'll abstract that in a helper function.

```typescript
import { kit } from "@/config/wallet-kit";
import { WalletNetwork } from "@creit.tech/stellar-wallets-kit";

interface signTransactionProps {
  unsignedTransaction: string;
  address: string;
}

/**
 * Sign a transaction
 *
 * @Flow:
 * 1. Sign the unsigned transaction
 * 2. Return the signed transaction
 */
export const signTransaction = async ({
  unsignedTransaction,
  address,
}: signTransactionProps): Promise<string> => {
  const { signedTxXdr } = await kit.signTransaction(unsignedTransaction, {
    address,
    networkPassphrase: WalletNetwork.TESTNET,
  });

  return signedTxXdr;
};


```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.trustlesswork.com/trustless-work/oss-dapps/escrow-lab/wallet-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
