🚀 Hive Keychain SDK: The React Adventure with Vite, Tailwind & Facepalms 🤦‍♂️

👋 Hello, Hive Community!

Welcome fellow #Hivers! As I dove into the magical world of Hive Keychain SDK integration, I hit a few snags (and had some laughs along the way). So here's my entertaining, step-by-step breakdown for getting it working smoothly in your own React project (using React + Vite + Typescript + Tailwind CSS + DaisyUI). Grab a chai, let's go! ☕

---

📚 Step 1: Getting the Tools

First, head to the mystical land of:

• 🔗 hive-keychain.com
• Find the Resources menu
• Summon the "Keychain SDK"

---

🛠️ Step 2: Install Stuff Because RTFM Is Life

• In terminal, cast this spell: npm install keychain-sdk
• Import the SDK like a proper developer:

  import { KeychainSDK } from "keychain-sdk";
  

• Create your wizard:

  const keychain = new KeychainSDK(window);
  

---

💥 Step 3: Reality Hits - Error Galore!

Ran npm run dev to behold my genius at localhost:5173… but NOPE. Got smacked by a mysterious browser error.

---

🤖 Step 4: Summon the AI Overlords

• AI said: "Install buffer, foolish mortal!"
• So, I blindly did: npm install buffer
• Result? Still borked.

---

🧙‍♂️ Step 5: The Sorcerer’s Config

Next, AI bestowed arcane knowledge. I bent the knee to update my vite.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react";
import tailwindcss from "@tailwindcss/vite";

import { NodeGlobalsPolyfillPlugin } from "@esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfill";
import { NodeModulesPolyfillPlugin } from "@esbuild-plugins/node-modules-polyfill";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), tailwindcss()],
  optimizeDeps: {
    esbuildOptions: {
      define: {
        global: "globalThis",
      },
      plugins: [
        NodeGlobalsPolyfillPlugin({
          buffer: true,
          process: true,
        }),
        NodeModulesPolyfillPlugin(),
      ],
    },
  },
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      buffer: "buffer",
    },
  },
});

---

⚡ Step 6: (Re)Try Everything!

With the config in place, I bravely ran npm run dev. 🧘 No errors. Hope returns!

Time for the next spell: Check if Hive Keychain is present:

import { KeychainSDK } from "keychain-sdk";
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";

const HiveLoginModal = () => {
  const keychain = new KeychainSDK(window);
  const [keychainAvailable, setKeychainAvailable] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    const check = async () => {
      const isKeychainInstalled = await keychain.isKeychainInstalled();
      console.log(`Do we have keychain now? ${isKeychainInstalled ? 'yes': 'no'}`);
      setKeychainAvailable(isKeychainInstalled);
    };
    check();
  }, []);

BUT... it logged 'no' even with Hive Keychain installed! 🤔 What dark magic is this?

---

🤯 Step 7: Ask AI Again (Yep, Again)

AI says: “Delay just a bit - Keychain needs time to show up!”

So here's the new check:

  useEffect(() => {
    const check = async () => {
      console.log("We don't have keychain yet");
      await new Promise((res) => setTimeout(res, 500));
      const keychain = new KeychainSDK(window);
      const isKeychainInstalled = await keychain.isKeychainInstalled();
      console.log(`Do we have keychain now? ${isKeychainInstalled ? 'yes': 'no'}`);
      setKeychainAvailable(isKeychainInstalled);
    };

    if (document.readyState === "complete") {
      check();
    } else {
      window.addEventListener("load", check);
      return () => window.removeEventListener("load", check);
    }
  }, []);

BOOM! After this, it finally worked. Friends, I am just getting started. More guides on the way. Hive-Keychain SDK team should totally add a React-focused page—imagine the memes! 😂
