Title: Ethereum Web3Button: A Simple yet Troublesome Issue in React 4 SDK
Introduction:
As developers, we strive to create seamless and intuitive interfaces for our users. However, sometimes even the simplest components can become a source of frustration. In this article, I’ll be highlighting one such issue with the Web3Button component on Thirdweb-dev/react v4 sdk.
The Issue:
When setting up the Web3Button component in my React 4 SDK project, I encountered an unexpected behavior that prevented it from loading correctly. Specifically, when I set the active chain to base, the button would never load. This might not seem like a major issue at first glance, but trust me, it’s frustrating.
The Error Message:
Here are some details about the error message I received:
label="Sing"
onClick={async () => {
const chainId = await getChainId();
// ...
}}
/>
As you can see, the getChainId() function is called to retrieve the current active chain ID. However, this function is asynchronous and returns a promise that resolves with the result.
In my case, I expected the Web3Button component to load correctly when I set the active chain to base. Instead, it kept loading indefinitely, making it difficult for me to interact with the wallet.
The Solution:
To resolve this issue, I needed to make some changes to how I was using the Web3Button component. Specifically, I updated the onClick handler to handle the promise returned by getChainId() and use the resolved value instead of the initial result.
Here’s an example of what I changed:
{
const chainId = await getChainId();
// Use the resolved value of chainId
const provider = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider(
provider.on('chainChanged', (newChain) => {
if (newChain === 'base') {
console.log('Switching to base chain...');
// Perform any necessary actions when switching to the base chain
}
});
} />
Conclusion:

As you can see, setting up the Web3Button component on Thirdweb-dev/react v4 sdk can have some unexpected behavior. In this case, I was able to resolve an issue by updating the onClickhandler to handle the promise returned bygetChainId()` and use the resolved value instead of the initial result.
