React#
Get started with AaveKit React
AaveKit React for Aave v4 is a collection of React hooks for building decentralized applications on top of the Aave Protocol v4.
Getting Started#
To get started, follow the steps below.
1
Install Packages#
First, install the latest AaveKit React packages using your package manager of choice.
2
Setup Client#
Then, create an AaveClient instance that will be used to interact with the protocol.
client.ts
import { AaveClient } from "@aave/react";
export const client = AaveClient.create();@aave/client package as it's already included
and re-exported by the @aave/react package.3
Setup Provider#
Next, wrap your app with the <AaveProvider> component and pass the client instance.
App.tsx
import { AaveProvider } from "@aave/react";
import { client } from "./client";
export function App() { return ( <AaveProvider client={client}> {/* Your application components */} </AaveProvider> );}4
Start Building#
That's it—you can now start using AaveKit React. Here's a basic example to fetch supported chains:
Example
import { useChains } from "@aave/react";
export function SupportedChains() { const { data: chains } = useChains();
return ( <div> <h2>Supported Chains</h2> {chains?.map((chain) => ( <div key={chain.chainId}> <h3>{chain.name}</h3> <p>Chain ID: {chain.chainId}</p> </div> ))} </div> );}Declarative Hooks#
AaveKit React declarative hooks execute on render with the given inputs, refresh when inputs change, and update after successful write operations; declarative hooks support two modes: loading state and React Suspense.
- Loading State
- React Suspense
Handle loading state manually in your component:
Loading State
import { useChains } from "@aave/react";
function ChainsList() { const { data, loading, error } = useChains();
if (loading) return <div>Loading…</div>;
if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;
return ( <div> {data.map((chain) => ( <div key={chain.chainId}>{chain.name}</div> ))} </div> );}Pausable Reads#
AaveKit React read hooks support pausing—a powerful pattern that lets you defer data fetching until certain conditions are met. This is particularly useful when:
Waiting for user input (e.g., wallet connection, user address)
Conditional data loading (e.g., only fetch when a user is authenticated)
Dependent data (e.g., fetch user data only after chain selection)
Type safety is maintained by allowing nullish request parameters and returning a paused state, which explicitly signals when a hook is inactive and lets TypeScript precisely narrow types between paused and active states.
Reloading State#
Declarative hooks also expose a reloading state that indicates when data is being refreshed after the initial load. This is different from loading, which is only true during the first fetch.
The reloading state becomes true when:
Variables change and the hook refetches with new parameters
Polling triggers a background refresh (if the hook is designed to poll)
This lets you show a subtle refresh indicator while keeping the previous data visible, rather than replacing content with a loading spinner.
Imperative Hooks#
AaveKit React imperative hooks return an execute function and a state object. These are tailored for when you need explicit control—like event handlers or multi‑step flows.
const [execute, state] = useImperativeHook();Execute Function#
The execute function takes the hook arguments and, when awaited, yields a Result<T, E>.
Use isOk() and isErr() to check the outcome and narrow the type:
const result = await execute();
if (result.isOk()) { console.log("Result:", result.value);} else { console.error("Error:", result.error);}See the Result Objects section for more information about the Result object.
State Object#
The state object provides information about the operation status:
const { called, data, error, loading } = state;Where:
called:trueonce the hook has run at least once.data: last successful result of typeT, otherwiseundefined.error: error of typeEif the operation failed, otherwiseundefined.loading:truewhile the operation is in progress, otherwisefalse.
Integrations#
AaveKit React includes first-class support for viem, ethers v6, Privy, Dynamic, thirdweb and Turnkey.
- Viem
- Ethers
- Privy
- Dynamic
- thirdweb
- Turnkey
Ensure you have viem package installed in your project.
Send Aave Transactions#
AaveKit React provides transaction hooks that handle protocol interactions like supply, borrow, withdraw, repay, and more.
There are two types of transaction hooks:
Simple transactions - single transactions that can be sent directly to the wallet
Complex transactions - transactions that could require approval beforehand
To send transactions, follow the steps below.
1
useSendTransaction#
First, use the provider‑specific useSendTransaction hook to send transactions with the connected wallet.
const [sendTransaction, { loading, error }] = useSendTransaction(/* args */);It abstracts wallet differences and provides a consistent interface that interoperates with the other AaveKit React hooks.
- Viem
- Ethers
- Privy
- Dynamic
- thirdweb
- Turnkey
Import the useSendTransaction hook from the @aave/react/viem entry point and wire it up with the viem's WalletClient.
Viem
import { useSendTransaction } from "@aave/react/viem";import { useWalletClient } from "wagmi";
function MyComponent() { const { data: walletClient } = useWalletClient(); const [sendTransaction, sending] = useSendTransaction(walletClient);
// Use with transaction hooks…}WalletClient from the
connected wallet.2
Transaction Hook#
Then, instantiate the specific transaction hook for the operation you want to perform.
- Simple Transactions
- Complex Transactions
Call sendTransaction (from useSendTransaction) inside the simple‑transaction hook callback, as shown below.
Simple Transactions
const [sendTransaction, sending] = useSendTransaction(/* … */);const [prepare, preparing] = useSimpleTransaction((transaction) => sendTransaction(transaction),);You can bail out of the operation at any point by calling the cancel(message) function.
Bail Out
const [execute, { loading, error }] = useSimpleTransaction( (transaction, { cancel }) => { if (window.confirm("Are you sure you want to continue?") === false) { return cancel("User cancelled the operation"); } return sendTransaction(transaction); },);3
Execute the Hook#
Finally, execute the hook.
- Simple Transactions
- Complex Transactions
In your callback, call the execute function with the operation arguments and handle the result accordingly.
Simple Transactions
const result = await execute(/* args */);
if (result.isErr()) { switch (result.error.name) { case "CancelError": // The user cancelled the operation return;
case "SigningError": console.error(`Failed to sign the transaction: ${result.error.message}`); break;
case "TimeoutError": console.error(`Transaction timed out: ${result.error.message}`); break;
case "TransactionError": console.error(`Transaction failed: ${result.error.message}`); break;
case "UnexpectedError": console.error(result.error.message); break; } return;}
console.log(result.value.txHash); // TxHashYou can also take a declarative approach by using the loading and error state objects to drive your UI.
function MyComponent() { // …
return ( <div> <button disabled={loading}> {loading ? "Sending…" : "Send Transaction"} </button>
{error && <p style={{ color: "red" }}>{error.message}</p>} </div> );}That's it—you now know the standard approach for handling Aave transactions with AaveKit React
Sign Typed Data#
Some Aave operations require EIP-712 typed data signatures for the following:
ERC-20 Permits: Authorize exact amount transfers without separate approval transactions
Swap Intents: Sign swap orders for intent-based swaps
As with useSendTransaction, instantiate the provider-specific useSignTypedData hook to sign typed data.
- Viem
- Ethers
- Privy
- Dynamic
- thirdweb
- Turnkey
Import the useSignTypedData hook from the @aave/react/viem entry point and wire it up with the viem's WalletClient.
Viem
import { useSignTypedData } from "@aave/react/viem";import { useWalletClient } from "wagmi";
function MyComponent() { const { data: walletClient } = useWalletClient(); const [signTypedData, sending] = useSignTypedData(walletClient);
// Use with transaction hooks…}WalletClient from the
connected wallet.Then, use the signTypedData function as described in the specific operation guide.
Appendix#
Result Objects#
AaveKit uses a functional approach to error handling, it's based on Result<T, E> that represents one of two states:
Ok<T>: A successful result containing a value of typeTErr<E>: A failure containing an error of typeE
Example
import { ok, err, Result } from "@aave/react";
function parseNumber(input: string): Result<number, string> { return isNaN(Number(input)) ? err(new Error("Invalid number")) : ok(Number(input));}With a Result<T, E>, you can use the convenient isOk() and isErr() methods to check the outcome and narrow the type.
const result = parseNumber("123");
if (result.isOk()) { console.log(result.value); // 123} else { console.error(result.error); // Error}This approach avoids reliance on try/catch blocks and promotes predictable, type-safe code by ensuring errors are handled explicitly.
Result object.ResultAsync<T, E> is the async, thenable variant of Result<T, E>. Awaiting it resolves to a Result<T, E>.
import { ResultAsync } from "@aave/react";
function fetchUser(id: number): ResultAsync<{ name: string }, Error> { return ResultAsync.fromPromise( fetch(`/api/users/${id}`).then((r) => r.json()), () => new Error("Not found"), );}
const result = await fetchUser(1);
if (result.isOk()) { console.log(result.value); // { name: "John" }} else { console.error(result.error); // Error}
