SDK APIs
Modern SDK tools to help you access imToken's public APIs.
Introduction
With the @consenlabs-fe/webview
, you can easily access and use the various interfaces built into the imToken WebView environment. Whether you're migrating a DApp to imToken or adapting a Web application, you can quickly solve it with minimal code and minimal invasiveness.
The SDK includes functions to obtain the language environment, common native UI, route navigation, scan QR codes, etc. The SDK itself does not contain dependencies and is only used as a tool to bond the host environment and will not cause any invasive damage to your project.
Features
Complete TypeScript support
All interfaces and methods have full type support.

Multi-module support
In modern front-end projects, the esm
mode is used by default, but we also provide cjs
umd
and ways.
Promise
Based on v1, all our asynchronous interfaces support promise by default.
Community
We've added support for the community, where you can create a discussion for any questions about the API or tools.
Getting started
If you are looking for a complete project example, please check out the sample applications we have prepared:
React project sample: examples/react-app
Vue project sample: examples/vue-app
UMD project sample: examples/umd
Install
You can use the package management tool to install @consenlabs-fe/webview
, this is the recommended way. For this, your project may need the NodeJS environment with the NPM management tool. (or Yarn)
NPM: (recommended installation)
npm i @consenlabs-fe/webview
Yarn:
yarn add @consenlabs-fe/webview
CDN:
@consenlabs-fe/webview
is available on unpkg and jsdelivr. (the CDN may require some time synchronization, please note the version you are using)
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@consenlabs-fe/webview/dist/index.min.js" />
Import and usage
Before you can use it, you need to import
the module:
import TokenWebView from '@consenlabs-fe/webview'
As a suggestion to maintain compatibility, we recommend that you always check the current environment first:
if (TokenWebView.isTokenEnv()) {
TokenWebView.apis.navigator.setTitle('hello world')
}
API References
All API interfaces, types, and examples are listed here. In fact, if you are using TypeScript, you can already get good type hints in your project.
General
This is the API that comes with the root module and is usually used to check the environment and the processing of generic scenarios.
isTokenEnv
Check if the current context is imToken WebView and return a boolean value.
Types
type isTokenEnv = () => boolean
Usage Example
console.log('Currently in imToken: ', TokenWebView.isTokenEnv())
getVersion
Get the current version of the imToken App.
Types
type getVersion = () => string
Usage Example
console.log('Currently version: ', TokenWebView.getVersion())
// output -> 'Currently version: 2.4.0'
isGreaterThanOrEqualVersion
The current App version is greater than or equal to the specified value.
Types
type isGreaterThanOrEqualVersion = (version: string) => boolean
Usage Example
const state = TokenWebView.isGreaterThanOrEqualVersion('2.1.0')
console.log('Version greater than or equal to 2.1.0: ', state )
// output -> 'Version greater than or equal to 2.1.0: true'
compareSemver
Compare the two versions of the value and return the number.
Requires that the comparison value must be a semantic version of the string. The return value rules are the same as for the JavaScript sort function.
Types
type compareSemver = (versionA: string, versionB: string) => number
Usage Example
const state = TokenWebView.compareSemver('2.1.0', '2.2.0')
console.log(state)
// output -> '0'
isCancelError
Check if the current error was caused by a user cancellation.
Types
type isCancelError = (error: Error) => boolean
Usage Example
try {
// ...
} catch (err) {
if (TokenWebView.isCancelError(err)) {
console.log('User cancelled the operation')
}
}
ERRORS
Error constants. The source of the error message, most of the time you do not need to compare this constant.
Types
type ERRORS = Record<string, string>
apis
API for communicating with the host environment, please see below for details.
device API
getCurrentLanguage
Get the current language environment, which usually comes from the user's settings within the imToken application.
Types
type getCurrentLanguage = () => Promise<string>
Usage Example
const language = await TokenWebView.apis.device.getCurrentLanguage()
console.log(language)
// output -> 'en-us'
getCurrentCurrency
Get the current currency, returns the currency string.
Types
type getCurrentCurrency = () => Promise<string>
Usage Example
const currency = await TokenWebView.apis.device.getCurrentCurrency()
console.log(currency)
// output -> 'CNY'
native API
Provide native platform UI and interaction capabilities.
alert
Display the string as an alert box.
Types
type alert = (content: string) => void
Usage Example
TokenWebView.apis.native.alert('hello world!')
confirm
Display the string as a confirm box.
A user clicks on the confirm or cancel button action will be returned as a Boolean value.
Types
type confirm = (content: {
title: string
message: string
cancelText: string
confirmText: string
}) => Promise<boolean>
Usage Example
const isConfirmDeletion = await TokenWebView.apis.native.confirm({
title: 'Second Confirmation',
message: 'Remove current connection?',
confirmText: 'ok',
cancelText: 'NO',
})
setLoading
Set the entire WebView to the loading state.
If you do not actively cancel this status, users will not be able to operate. The loaded state will block all interactive events.
Types
type setLoading = (visible: boolean) => void
Usage Example
if (myTaskLoading) {
TokenWebView.apis.native.setLoading(true)
}
share
Share a link or picture.
If the shared content is an image, it needs to be pre-converted to base64
format.
The success of the sharing depends on the user's confirmation and whether the user allows permissions.

title: string
message: string
url: string
}
type ShareParamsImage = {
title: string
image: string
}
