CDN ​

If you're not using a package manager, you can also use Wagmi Core via an ESM-compatible CDN such as esm.sh. Simply add a <script type="module"> tag to the bottom of your HTML file with the following content.

<script type="module">
  import { createClient } from 'https://esm.sh/viem'
  import { createConfig } from 'https://esm.sh/@wagmi/core@2.x'
  import { injected } from 'https://esm.sh/@wagmi/connectors'
</script>

<script type="module">
  import { createClient } from 'https://esm.sh/viem'
  import { createConfig } from 'https://esm.sh/@wagmi/core@2.x'
  import { injected } from 'https://esm.sh/@wagmi/connectors'
</script>

Using Unreleased Commits ​

If you can't wait for a new release to test the latest features, you can either install from the canary tag (tracks the main branch).

pnpm add @wagmi/core@canary

pnpm add @wagmi/core@canary

npm install @wagmi/core@canary

npm install @wagmi/core@canary

yarn add @wagmi/core@canary

yarn add @wagmi/core@canary

bun add @wagmi/core@canary

bun add @wagmi/core@canary

Or clone the Wagmi repo to your local machine, build, and link it yourself.

gh repo clone wevm/wagmi
cd wagmi
pnpm install
pnpm build
cd packages/core
pnpm link --global

gh repo clone wevm/wagmi
cd wagmi
pnpm install
pnpm build
cd packages/core
pnpm link --global

Then go to the project where you are using Wagmi and run pnpm link --global @wagmi/core (or the package manager that you used to link Wagmi globally). Make sure you installed the required peer dependencies and their versions are correct.

Security ​

Ethereum-related projects are often targeted in attacks to steal users' assets. Make sure you follow security best-practices for your project. Some quick things to get started.

• Pin package versions, upgrade mindfully, and inspect lockfile changes to minimize the risk of supply-chain attacks.
• Install the Socket Security GitHub App to help detect and block supply-chain attacks.
• Add a Content Security Policy to defend against external scripts running in your app.
