wallet-ui Install Wallet UI (React Native)
Overview
This skill helps you set up Wallet UI in your Expo React Native application. You need to choose which Solana library you are using, as the setup differs significantly.
Choose Your Path
1. Modern: @solana/kit (Recommended)
Use this if:
- You are starting a new project.
- You prefer the modern, lightweight, functional API of
@solana/kit. - You want better tree-shaking and smaller bundle sizes.
Instructions: Open Solana Kit Guide
2. Legacy: @solana/web3.js (Maintenance Mode)
Use this if:
- You are maintaining an existing project heavily reliant on
@solana/web3.jsv1. - You need specific legacy dependencies that haven't migrated to
@solana/kit. - You understand that
@solana/web3.jsis heavier and no longer the primary recommendation for new apps.
