React newbie here. Have an issue starting out, specifically with getting the balance of an address attached to a connected wallet.
import "./App.css";
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { ethers } from "ethers";
import web3 from "web3";
function App() {
const [walletAddress, setWalletAddress] = useState("");
async function requestAccount() {
console.log("Requesting account...");
if (window.ethereum) {
console.log("Metamask Wallet Detected");
try {
const accounts = await window.ethereum.request({
method: "eth_requestAccounts",
});
setWalletAddress(accounts[0]);
console.log(walletAddress);
} catch (error) {
console.log("Error connecting Wallet");
}
} else {
console.log("Metamask Wallet Absent");
}
}
async function getBalance() {
const accounts3 = await window.ethereum.request({
method: "eth_requestAccounts",
});
console.log(accounts3[0]);
const balanceInWei = web3.eth.getBalance(walletAddress);
console.log(balanceInWei);
}
return (
<div className="App">
<header className="App-header">
<button onClick={requestAccount}>Connect Metamask Wallet</button>
<h3>Wallet Address: {walletAddress}</h3>
<h2>Account Balance</h2>
<button onClick={getBalance}>on</button>
</header>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
I already figured out how to fetch the address but for some reason can't find how to get the balance, I see different results everywhere.
