ethers

This example uses the built-in @tokenflight/adapter-ethers package.

Live project Open in StackBlitz
Terminal window
pnpm add @tokenflight/swap @tokenflight/adapter-ethers ethers
import { useEffect, useMemo } from 'react';
import { TokenFlightWidget } from '@tokenflight/swap';
import { EthersWalletAdapter } from '@tokenflight/adapter-ethers';
export default function App() {
const walletAdapter = useMemo(() => {
if (typeof window === 'undefined' || !window.ethereum) return null;
return new EthersWalletAdapter(window.ethereum);
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
if (!walletAdapter) return;
const widget = new TokenFlightWidget({
container: '#widget',
config: {
toToken: { chainId: 8453, address: '0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913' },
amount: '100',
tradeType: 'EXACT_OUTPUT',
theme: 'light',
},
walletAdapter,
});
widget.initialize();
return () => widget.destroy();
}, [walletAdapter]);
return <div id="widget" style={{ minHeight: 560 }} />;
}
  1. Check for window.ethereum — the ethers adapter requires an injected EIP-1193 provider (MetaMask, Brave Wallet, etc.). If no provider is found, the adapter is null and the widget won’t mount.

  2. Create EthersWalletAdapter — wraps the provider to implement IWalletAdapter. EVM-only (no Solana support). Unlike wagmi and AppKit adapters, ethers does not auto-derive chain IDs — pass supportedChainIds explicitly if you want to restrict to specific chains.

  3. Guard with useMemo — avoids recreating the adapter on re-render.

const walletAdapter = useMemo(() => {
if (!window.ethereum) return null;
const adapter = new EthersWalletAdapter(window.ethereum);
// Only show tokens and balances from these chains
adapter.supportedChainIds = [1, 8453, 42161];
return adapter;
}, []);

See Custom Wallet Adapter for details on supportedChainIds.
