Overview
The Build your own Solana dApp with NextJS and TypeScript starter kit is a comprehensive package that provides all the necessary tools to start building decentralized applications (dApps) on the Solana blockchain. This kit includes features such as connecting to Solana wallets, interacting with the Solana blockchain, fetching on-chain data through Helius APIs, and customizing the dApp’s style using Tailwind CSS and daisyUI.
Features
- Connect to a Solana wallet and validate ownership: Easily integrate any Solana wallet supported by @solana/wallet-adapter into the dApp by modifying the configuration. Auto-connect is enabled by default to improve the user experience, and a signing mechanism is in place to validate wallet ownership.
- Interact with Solana’s blockchain: Perform various actions on the Solana blockchain, including creating transactions of SOL or SPL tokens to other wallets, submitting transactions to the blockchain, confirming transaction success, and finding Twitter handles associated with wallet addresses. Solana Labs official libraries like @solana/web3.js, @solana/spl-token, and @solana/name-service are utilized for these interactions.
- Fetch on-chain data through Helius APIs: Use the Helius API to retrieve and access stored data on the Solana blockchain. This kit specifically demonstrates how to fetch the list of NFTs in a wallet, but it can be extended to retrieve other data from different Helius API endpoints.
- Build your own style: Customize the dApp’s style using Tailwind CSS and daisyUI. Quickly iterate and develop the dApp using pre-defined or custom themes. The theme can be easily changed by modifying the daisy.themes configuration within the ./tailwind.config.js file and defining the data-theme attribute in the html tag. The kit also includes a simple theme switcher for toggling between dark and light mode for enhanced accessibility. The react-hot-toast library is integrated to provide visual feedback for on-chain actions.
