The Gateway Provider

Search…
The GatewayProvider is a React component that gives children access to the GatewayContext through the useGateway function. This component holds the state for a given Gateway Token or Gateway Token request.
Available for Ethereum and Solana​
Ethereum
Warning: The Ethereum integration is in alpha and is subject to change.
Note: The React component uses ethers.js​
import { GatewayProvider } from "@civic/ethereum-gateway-react";
​
<GatewayProvider
  signer={signer}
  provider={provider}
  gatekeeperNetwork={gatekeeperNetwork}
  >
</GatewayProvider>
Property
Description
Type
signer
An ethers.js object representing the user's wallet.
Signer from ethers
provider
An ethers.js connection to the network. Can be undefined if not yet connected
Provider from ethers
gatekeeperNetwork
The address of the gatekeeper network. This needs to match the network within which the Civic gatekeeper issues tokens.
string (see Selecting a Pass Verification)
The useGateway hook
The React component exposes the process status of a gateway token request, as well as the token status itself. It also provides a function to request a new gateway token. These can be accessed through the useGateway hook:
import { useGateway } from "@civic/ethereum-gateway-react";
Requesting a gateway token
A function is provided to initiate a request for a new gateway token:
const { requestGatewayToken } = useGateway()
This could be triggered by a button, for example:
<button onclick={requestGatewayToken}>Validate your wallet</button>
Calling this function should open an iframe connected to the Civic Gatekeeper, which will guide the user through a flow to verify their identity and other prerequisites:
Reading the gateway state
Besides the refreshGatewayToken function, the useGateway hook also exposes some state variables to indicate the status of the Civic Pass request flows and the state of the token itself.
const { gatewayStatus, gatewayToken } = useGateway();
gatewayStatus
Indicates the overall status of the Civic Pass. This should ideally displayed to the user. Some states are linked to an on-chain gateway token, while others indicate progress or error conditions during which a gateway token might not exist.
GatewayStatus from @civic/ethereum-gateway-react
gatewayToken
Represents the on-chain Ethereum structure for the gateway token. This will only be defined if the on-chain token is ACTIVE and dApp usage should be allowed.
If the token does not exist or is in a non-active state (e.g. Frozen), this state variable will be undefined . The dApp could disable certain parts of the UI when gatewayToken is undefined to prevent dApp usage.
This complements the on-chain Rust check, but should not replace it.

Solana
import { GatewayProvider } from "@civic/solana-gateway-react";
​
const clusterUrl = // Solana RPC endpoint;
​
<GatewayProvider
  wallet={wallet}
  gatekeeperNetwork={gatekeeperNetwork}
  clusterUrl={clusterUrl}
  >
</GatewayProvider>
Property
Description
Type
wallet
An object representing the user's wallet. This may be undefined if a wallet hasn't been connected to the dApp yet.
{
publicKey, signTransaction
} (see definitions below)
wallet.publicKey
The user wallet's public key
PublicKey from @solana/web3.js
wallet.signTransaction
A function that asks the user's wallet to sign a transaction.
(transaction: Transaction) => Promise<Transaction>
where Transaction is from @solana/web3.js
gatekeeperNetwork
The public key of the gatekeeper network. This needs to match the network within which the Civic gatekeeper issues tokens.
PublicKey from @solana/web3.js
clusterUrl
The React Component requires you to pass in a Solana RPC endpoint.
string
cluster
If the RPC endpoint passed as clusterUrl is not pointing to mainnet-beta, you must specify the cluster. Supported are "devnet" and "testnet". This is so that Civic's servers generate a transaction for the correct cluster.
string
gatekeeperSendsTransaction
The gatekeeper will send the transaction to the blockchain. Defaults to false. When false, the user will be prompted to sign and send the transaction. This is handled internally by the React Component. To customize this behavior the handleTransaction callback function needs to be provided
string
handleTransaction
An optional callback function that will invoked with a partially signed transaction for the user to sign and send to the blockchain when the property gatekeeperSendsTransaction is false.
(transaction: Transaction) => Promise<void>

The following is a list of all the possible states of the Civic Pass
Statuses where a Civic Pass exists
Status
Description
Behaviour when triggered
ACTIVE
The Civic Pass is Active. The user can trade.
Opens the Civic Pass modal dialog with a user-friendly explanation of the status.
EXPIRED
The Civic Pass has expired An IP check and proof of wallet ownership are required to refresh it.
Proof of wallet ownership is automatically initiated
FROZEN
