Replit Extensions API Client (React)

The React Extensions API Client comes with a set of hooks and components that combine to make a blazingly fast and seamless developer experience.

Installation

npm install @replit/extensions-react
yarn add @replit/extensions-react
pnpm add @replit/extensions-react

Usage

Fork the React Extension Template to get started. Alternatively, you can start from scratch by wrapping your application with the HandshakeProvider component imported from @replit/extensions-react.

import { HandshakeProvider } from "@replit/extensions-react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
import App from "./App";

createRoot(document.getElementById("root")).render(
  <HandshakeProvider>
    <App />
  </HandshakeProvider>
);

In the App function, check the handshake status with the useReplit hook.

import { useReplit } from "@replit/extensions-react";

function App() {
  const { status, error, replit } = useReplit();

  if (status === "loading") {
    return <div>Loading...</div>;
  }

  if (status === "error") {
    return <div>An error occurred: {error?.message}</div>;
  }

  return <div>Extension is Ready!</div>;
}
