Flow Client Library (FCL) API Reference

For release updates, see the repo

Configuration

FCL has a mechanism that lets you configure various aspects of FCL. When you move from one instance of the Flow Blockchain to another (Local Emulator to Testnet to Mainnet) the only thing you should need to change for your FCL implementation is your configuration.

Setting Configuration Values

Values only need to be set once. We recommend doing this once and as early in the life cycle as possible. To set a configuration value, the put method on the config instance needs to be called, the put method returns the config instance so they can be chained.

Alternatively, you can set the config by passing a JSON object directly.


_13import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_13
_13fcl
_13  .config() // returns the config instance
_13  .put('foo', 'bar') // configures "foo" to be "bar"
_13  .put('baz', 'buz'); // configures "baz" to be "buz"
_13
_13// OR
_13
_13fcl.config({
_13  foo: 'bar',
_13  baz: 'buz',
_13});

Getting Configuration Values

The config instance has an asynchronous get method. You can also pass it a fallback value.


_15import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_15
_15fcl.config().put('foo', 'bar').put('woot', 5).put('rawr', 7);
_15
_15const FALLBACK = 1;
_15
_15async function addStuff() {
_15  var woot = await fcl.config().get('woot', FALLBACK); // will be 5 -- set in the config before
_15  var rawr = await fcl.config().get('rawr', FALLBACK); // will be 7 -- set in the config before
_15  var hmmm = await fcl.config().get('hmmm', FALLBACK); // will be 1 -- uses fallback because this isnt in the config
_15
_15  return woot + rawr + hmmm;
_15}
_15
_15addStuff().then((d) => console.log(d)); // 13 (5 + 7 + 1)

Using Contracts in Scripts and Transactions

Address Replacement

Configuration keys that start with 0x will be replaced in FCL scripts and transactions, this allows you to write your script or transaction Cadence code once and not have to change it when you point your application at a difference instance of the Flow Blockchain.


_27import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_27
_27fcl.config().put('0xFungibleToken', '0xf233dcee88fe0abe');
_27
_27async function myScript() {
_27  return fcl
_27    .send([
_27      fcl.script`
_27      import FungibleToken from 0xFungibleToken // will be replaced with 0xf233dcee88fe0abe because of the configuration
_27
_27      access(all) fun main() { /* Rest of the script goes here */ }
_27    `,
_27    ])
_27    .then(fcl.decode);
_27}
_27
_27async function myTransaction() {
_27  return fcl
_27    .send([
_27      fcl.transaction`
_27      import FungibleToken from 0xFungibleToken // will be replaced with 0xf233dcee88fe0abe because of the configuration
_27
_27      transaction { /* Rest of the transaction goes here */ }
_27    `,
_27    ])
_27    .then(fcl.decode);
_27}

Example


_14import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_14
_14fcl
_14  .config()
_14  .put('flow.network', 'testnet')
_14  .put('walletconnect.projectId', 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID')
_14  .put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org')
_14  .put('discovery.wallet', 'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn')
_14  .put('app.detail.title', 'Test Harness')
_14  .put('app.detail.icon', 'https://i.imgur.com/r23Zhvu.png')
_14  .put('app.detail.description', 'A test harness for FCL')
_14  .put('app.detail.url', 'https://myapp.com')
_14  .put('service.OpenID.scopes', 'email email_verified name zoneinfo')
_14  .put('0xFlowToken', '0x7e60df042a9c0868');

Using Flow.json

A simpler way to import contracts in scripts and transactions is to use the config.load method to ingest your contracts from your flow.json file. This keeps the import syntax unified across tools and lets FCL figure out which address to use for what network based on the network provided in config. To use config.load you must first import your flow.json file and then pass it to config.load as a parameter.


_10import { config } from '@onflow/fcl';
_10import flowJSON from '../flow.json';
_10
_10config({
_10  'flow.network': 'testnet',
_10  'accessNode.api': 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org',
_10  'discovery.wallet': `https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn`,
_10}).load({ flowJSON });

Let's say your flow.json file looks like this:


_10{
_10  "contracts": {
_10		"HelloWorld": "cadence/contracts/HelloWorld.cdc"
_10	}
_10}

Then in your scripts and transactions, all you have to do is:


_10import "HelloWorld"

FCL will automatically replace the contract name with the address for the network you are using.

Note: never put private keys in your flow.json. You should use the key/location syntax to separate your keys into a separate git ignored file.

Wallet Interactions

These methods allows dapps to interact with FCL compatible wallets in order to authenticate the user and authorize transactions on their behalf.

⚠️These methods are async.

`authenticate`

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

Calling this method will authenticate the current user via any wallet that supports FCL. Once called, FCL will initiate communication with the configured discovery.wallet endpoint which lets the user select a wallet to authenticate with. Once the wallet provider has authenticated the user, FCL will set the values on the current user object for future use and authorization.

Note

⚠️discovery.wallet value must be set in the configuration before calling this method. See FCL Configuration.

📣 The default discovery endpoint will open an iframe overlay to let the user choose a supported wallet.

Usage


_10import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10fcl
_10  .config()
_10  .put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org')
_10  .put('discovery.wallet', 'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn');
_10// anywhere on the page
_10fcl.authenticate();

Note

⚠️ authenticate can also take a service returned from discovery with fcl.authenticate({ service }).

`unauthenticate`

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

Logs out the current user and sets the values on the current user object to null.

Note

⚠️The current user must be authenticated first.

Usage


_10import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10fcl.config().put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org');
_10// first authenticate to set current user
_10fcl.authenticate();
_10// ... somewhere else & sometime later
_10fcl.unauthenticate();
_10// fcl.currentUser.loggedIn === null

`reauthenticate`

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

A convenience method that calls fcl.unauthenticate() and then fcl.authenticate() for the current user.

Note

⚠️The current user must be authenticated first.

Usage


_10import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10// first authenticate to set current user
_10fcl.authenticate();
_10// ... somewhere else & sometime later
_10fcl.reauthenticate();
_10// logs out user and opens up login/sign-up flow

`signUp`

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

A convenience method that calls and is equivalent to fcl.authenticate().

`logIn`

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

A convenience method that calls and is equivalent to fcl.authenticate().

`authz`

A convenience method that produces the needed authorization details for the current user to submit transactions to Flow. It defines a signing function that connects to a user's wallet provider to produce signatures to submit transactions.

📣 You can replace this function with your own authorization function if needed.

Returns

Type	Description
AuthorizationObject	An object containing the necessary details from the current user to authorize a transaction in any role.

Usage

Note: The default values for proposer, payer, and authorizations are already fcl.authz so there is no need to include these parameters, it is shown only for example purposes. See more on signing roles.


_22import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_22// login somewhere before
_22fcl.authenticate();
_22// once logged in authz will produce values
_22console.log(fcl.authz);
_22// prints {addr, signingFunction, keyId, sequenceNum} from the current authenticated user.
_22
_22const txId = await fcl.mutate({
_22  cadence: `
_22    import Profile from 0xba1132bc08f82fe2
_22    
_22    transaction(name: String) {
_22      prepare(account: auth(BorrowValue) &Account) {
_22        account.storage.borrow<&{Profile.Owner}>(from: Profile.privatePath)!.setName(name)
_22      }
_22    }
_22  `,
_22  args: (arg, t) => [arg('myName', t.String)],
_22  proposer: fcl.authz, // optional - default is fcl.authz
_22  payer: fcl.authz, // optional - default is fcl.authz
_22  authorizations: [fcl.authz], // optional - default is [fcl.authz]
_22});

Current User

Holds the current user, if set, and offers a set of functions to manage the authentication and authorization of the user.

⚠️The following methods can only be used in web browsers.

`currentUser.subscribe`

The callback passed to subscribe will be called when the user authenticates and un-authenticates, making it easy to update the UI accordingly.

Arguments

Name	Type
`callback`	function	The callback will be called with the current user as the first argument when the current user is set or removed.

Usage


_24import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
_24import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_24
_24export function AuthCluster() {
_24  const [user, setUser] = useState({ loggedIn: null });
_24  useEffect(() => fcl.currentUser.subscribe(setUser), []); // sets the callback for FCL to use
_24
_24  if (user.loggedIn) {
_24    return (
_24      <div>
_24        <span>{user?.addr ?? 'No Address'}</span>
_24        <button onClick={fcl.unauthenticate}>Log Out</button> {/* once logged out in setUser(user) will be called */}
_24      </div>
_24    );
_24  } else {
_24    return (
_24      <div>
_24        <button onClick={fcl.logIn}>Log In</button>{' '}
_24        {/* once logged in setUser(user) will be called */}
_24        <button onClick={fcl.signUp}>Sign Up</button> {/* once signed up, setUser(user) will be called */}
_24      </div>
_24    );
_24  }
_24}

`currentUser.snapshot`

Returns the current user object. This is the same object that is set and available on fcl.currentUser.subscribe(callback).

Usage


_10// returns the current user object
_10const user = fcl.currentUser.snapshot();
_10
_10// subscribes to the current user object and logs to console on changes
_10fcl.currentUser.subscribe(console.log);

`currentUser.authenticate`

Equivalent to fcl.authenticate.

`currentUser.unauthenticate`

Equivalent to fcl.unauthenticate.

`currentUser.authorization`

Equivalent to fcl.authz

`currentUser.signUserMessage`

A method to use allowing the user to personally sign data via FCL Compatible Wallets/Services.

⚠️ This method requires the current user's wallet to support a signing service endpoint. Currently, only Blocto is compatible with this feature by default.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
`message`	string (required)	A hexadecimal string to be signed

Returns

Type	Description
`Array`	An Array of CompositeSignatures: signature

Usage


_10import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
_10export const signMessage = async () => {
_10  const MSG = Buffer.from('FOO').toString('hex');
_10  try {
_10    return await currentUser.signUserMessage(MSG);
_10  } catch (error) {
_10    console.log(error);
_10  }
_10};

Discovery

`discovery`

Discovery abstracts away code so that developers don't have to deal with the discovery of Flow compatible wallets, integration, or authentication. Using discovery from FCL allows dapps to list and authenticate with wallets while having full control over the UI. Common use cases for this are login or registration pages.

(Alternatively, if you don't need control over your UI you can continue to use the discovery.wallet config value documented in the Quickstart for the simplest configuration.)

⚠️The following methods can only be used in web browsers.

Note

⚠️discovery.authn.endpoint value must be set in the configuration before calling this method. See FCL Configuration.

Suggested Configuration

Environment	Example
Mainnet	`https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/authn`
Testnet	`https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/testnet/authn`

If the Discovery endpoint is set in config, then you can iterate through authn services and pass the chosen service to authenticate to authenticate a user.

Usage


_24import './config';
_24import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
_24import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_24
_24function Component() {
_24  const [wallets, setWallets] = useState([]);
_24  useEffect(
_24    () => fcl.discovery.authn.subscribe((res) => setWallets(res.results)),
_24    [],
_24  );
_24
_24  return (
_24    <div>
_24      {wallets.map((wallet) => (
_24        <button
_24          key={wallet.provider.address}
_24          onClick={() => fcl.authenticate({ service: wallet })}
_24        >
_24          Login with {wallet.provider.name}
_24        </button>
_24      ))}
_24    </div>
_24  );
_24}

authn

More Configuration

By default, limited functionality services or services that require developer registration, like Ledger or Dapper Wallet, require apps to opt-in in order to display to users. To enable opt-in services in an application, use the discovery.authn.include property in your configuration with a value of an array of services you'd like your app to opt-in to displaying for users.


_10import { config } from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
_10config({
_10  'discovery.authn.endpoint':
_10    'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/testnet/authn', // Endpoint set to Testnet
_10  'discovery.authn.include': ['0x9d2e44203cb13051'], // Ledger wallet address on Testnet set to be included
_10});

Opt-In Wallet Addresses on Testnet and Mainnet

Service	Testnet	Mainnet
`Dapper Wallet`	0x82ec283f88a62e65	0xead892083b3e2c6c
`Ledger`	0x9d2e44203cb13051	0xe5cd26afebe62781

For more details on wallets, view the service list here.

`discovery.authn.snapshot()`

Return a list of authn services.

`discovery.authn.subscribe(callback)`

The callback sent to subscribe will be called with a list of authn services.

On-chain Interactions

📣 These methods can be used in browsers and NodeJS.

These methods allows dapps to interact directly with the Flow blockchain via a set of functions that currently use the Access Node API.

Query and Mutate Flow with Cadence

If you want to run arbitrary Cadence scripts on the blockchain, these methods offer a convenient way to do so without having to build, send, and decode interactions.

`query`

Allows you to submit scripts to query the blockchain.

Options

Pass in the following as a single object with the following keys.All keys are optional unless otherwise stated.

Key	Type	Description
`cadence`	string (required)	A valid cadence script.
`args`	ArgumentFunction	Any arguments to the script if needed should be supplied via a function that returns an array of arguments.
`limit`	number	Compute (Gas) limit for query. Read the documentation about computation cost for information about how computation cost is calculated on Flow.

Returns

Type	Description
any	A JSON representation of the response.

Usage


_16import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_16
_16const result = await fcl.query({
_16  cadence: `
_16    access(all) fun main(a: Int, b: Int, addr: Address): Int {
_16      log(addr)
_16      return a + b
_16    }
_16  `,
_16  args: (arg, t) => [
_16    arg(7, t.Int), // a: Int
_16    arg(6, t.Int), // b: Int
_16    arg('0xba1132bc08f82fe2', t.Address), // addr: Address
_16  ],
_16});
_16console.log(result); // 13

Examples

Additional Explanation

`mutate`

Allows you to submit transactions to the blockchain to potentially mutate the state.

⚠️When being used in the browser, fcl.mutate uses the built-in fcl.authz function to produce the authorization (signatures) for the current user. When calling this method from Node.js, you will need to supply your own custom authorization function.

Options

Pass in the following as a single object with the following keys. All keys are optional unless otherwise stated.

Key	Type	Description
`cadence`	string (required)	A valid cadence transaction.
`args`	ArgumentFunction	Any arguments to the script if needed should be supplied via a function that returns an array of arguments.
`limit`	number	Compute (Gas) limit for query. Read the documentation about computation cost for information about how computation cost is calculated on Flow.
`proposer`	AuthorizationFunction	The authorization function that returns a valid AuthorizationObject for the proposer role.

Returns

Type	Description
string	The transaction ID.

Usage


_16import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_16// login somewhere before
_16fcl.authenticate();
_16
_16const txId = await fcl.mutate({
_16  cadence: `
_16    import Profile from 0xba1132bc08f82fe2
_16    
_16    transaction(name: String) {
_16      prepare(account: auth(BorrowValue) &Account) {
_16        account.storage.borrow<&{Profile.Owner}>(from: Profile.privatePath)!.setName(name)
_16      }
_16    }
_16  `,
_16  args: (arg, t) => [arg('myName', t.String)],
_16});

fcl-next-harness

Query and mutate the blockchain with Builders

In some cases, you may want to utilize pre-built interactions or build more complex interactions than what the fcl.query and fcl.mutate interface offer. To do this, FCL uses a pattern of building up an interaction with a combination of builders, resolving them, and sending them to the chain.

⚠️Recommendation: Unless you have a specific use case that require usage of these builders, you should be able to achieve most cases with fcl.query({...options} or fcl.mutate({...options})

`send`

Sends arbitrary scripts, transactions, and requests to Flow.

This method consumes an array of builders that are to be resolved and sent. The builders required to be included in the array depend on the interaction that is being built.

Note

⚠️Must be used in conjuction with fcl.decode(response) to get back correct keys and all values in JSON.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
`builders`	[Builders]	See builder functions.

Returns

Type	Description
ResponseObject	An object containing the data returned from the chain. Should always be decoded with `fcl.decode()` to get back appropriate JSON keys and values.

Usage


_18import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_18
_18// a script only needs to resolve the arguments to the script
_18const response = await fcl.send([fcl.script`${script}`, fcl.args(args)]);
_18// note: response values are encoded, call await fcl.decode(response) to get JSON
_18
_18// a transaction requires multiple 'builders' that need to be resolved prior to being sent to the chain - such as setting the authorizations.
_18const response = await fcl.send([
_18  fcl.transaction`
_18    ${transaction}
_18    `,
_18  fcl.args(args),
_18  fcl.proposer(proposer),
_18  fcl.authorizations(authorizations),
_18  fcl.payer(payer),
_18  fcl.limit(9999),
_18]);
_18// note: response contains several values (Cad)

`decode`

Decodes the response from fcl.send() into the appropriate JSON representation of any values returned from Cadence code.

Note

📣 To define your own decoder, see tutorial.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
`response`	ResponseObject	Should be the response returned from `fcl.send([...])`

Returns

Type	Description
any	A JSON representation of the raw string response depending on the cadence code executed. The return value can be a single value and type or an object with multiple types.

Usage


_16import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_16
_16// simple script to add 2 numbers
_16const response = await fcl.send([
_16  fcl.script`
_16        access(all) fun main(int1: Int, int2: Int): Int {
_16            return int1 + int2
_16        }
_16    `,
_16  fcl.args([fcl.arg(1, fcl.t.Int), fcl.arg(2, fcl.t.Int)]),
_16]);
_16
_16const decoded = await fcl.decode(response);
_16
_16assert(3 === decoded);
_16assert(typeof decoded === 'number');

Builders

These methods fill out various portions of a transaction or script template in order to build, resolve, and send it to the blockchain. A valid populated template is referred to as an Interaction.

⚠️These methods must be used with fcl.send([...builders]).then(fcl.decode)

Query Builders

`getAccount`

A builder function that returns the interaction to get an account by address.

⚠️Consider using the pre-built interaction fcl.account(address) if you do not need to pair with any other builders.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
`address`	Address	Address of the user account with or without a prefix (both formats are supported).

Builders are modular functions that can be coupled together with fcl.send([...builders]) to create an Interaction. The builders needed to create an interaction depend on the script or transaction that is being sent.

`Interaction`

An interaction is an object containing the information to perform an action on chain.This object is populated through builders and converted into the approriate access node API call. See the interaction object here. A 'partial' interaction is an interaction object that does not have sufficient information to the intended on-chain action. Multiple partial interactions (through builders) can be coupled to create a complete interaction.

`StreamConnection`

A stream connection is an object for subscribing to generic data from any WebSocket data stream. This is the base type for all stream connections. Two channels, close and error, are always available, as they are used to signal the end of the stream and any errors that occur.


_20interface StreamConnection<ChannelMap extends { [name: string]: any }> {
_20  // Subscribe to a channel
_20  on<C extends keyof ChannelMap>(
_20    channel: C,
_20    listener: (data: ChannelMap[C]) => void,
_20  ): this;
_20  on(event: 'close', listener: () => void): this;
_20  on(event: 'error', listener: (err: any) => void): this;
_20
_20  // Unsubscribe from a channel
_20  off<C extends keyof ChannelMap>(
_20    event: C,
_20    listener: (data: ChannelMap[C]) => void,
_20  ): this;
_20  off(event: 'close', listener: () => void): this;
_20  off(event: 'error', listener: (err: any) => void): this;
_20
_20  // Close the connection
_20  close(): void;
_20}

Usage


_13import { StreamConnection } from "@onflow/typedefs"
_13
_13const stream: StreamConnection = ...
_13
_13stream.on("close", () => {
_13  // Handle close
_13})
_13
_13stream.on("error", (err) => {
_13  // Handle error
_13})
_13
_13stream.close()

`EventStream`

An event stream is a stream connection that emits events and block heartbeats. Based on the connection parameters, heartbeats will be emitted at least as often as some fixed block height interval. It is a specific variant of a StreamConnection.


_10type EventStream = StreamConnection<{
_10  events: Event[];
_10  heartbeat: BlockHeartbeat;
_10}>;

Usage


_14import { EventStream } from "@onflow/typedefs"
_14
_14const stream: EventStream = ...
_14
_14stream.on("events", (events) => {
_14  // Handle events
_14})
_14
_14stream.on("heartbeat", (heartbeat) => {
_14  // Handle heartbeat
_14})
_14
_14// Close the stream
_14stream.close()

`BlockHeartbeat`


_10export interface BlockHeartbeat {
_10  blockId: string;
_10  blockHeight: number;
_10  timestamp: string;
_10}

Usage


_10import { BlockHeartbeat } from "@onflow/typedefs"
_10
_10const heartbeat: BlockHeartbeat = ...
