Getting a Wallet Account Address by Type - Dynamic

A single wallet account can expose multiple addresses, each with a different purpose. For example, a Bitcoin wallet may have a payment address and an ordinals address, or a Midnight wallet may have midnight_unshielded and midnight_dust addresses. Use getWalletAccountAddressByType to pick the address that matches the type you need.

Usage

JavaScript
React

import { getWalletAccountAddressByType } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const paymentAddress = getWalletAccountAddressByType({
  walletAccount,
  type: 'payment',
});

console.log('Payment address:', paymentAddress);

getWalletAccountAddressByType is a synchronous lookup, so there is no dedicated hook. Read the reactive useGetWalletAccounts and re-derive the address whenever accounts change:

import { getWalletAccountAddressByType } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';
import { useGetWalletAccounts } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/react-hooks';
import { useMemo } from 'react';

function PaymentAddress() {
  const { data: walletAccounts = [] } = useGetWalletAccounts();

  const address = useMemo(() => {
    const walletAccount = walletAccounts[0];
    if (!walletAccount) return null;

    return getWalletAccountAddressByType({ walletAccount, type: 'payment' });
  }, [walletAccounts]);

  return <p>Payment address: {address ?? 'N/A'}</p>;
}
