I'm trying to connect to Metamask using ethers.js.
However, all the solution I found keep returning this error
"await is only valid in async function"
Was there a recent change in Javascript syntax that affects await?
How to connect ethers.js with metamask?
const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(window.ethereum, "any");
// Prompt user for account connections
await provider.send("eth_requestAccounts", []);
const signer = provider.getSigner();
console.log("Account:", await signer.getAddress());
how to connect metamask with ethers.js and fetch balance?
await window.ethereum.enable();
const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(window.ethereum);
const contract = new ethers.Contract(smartContractAddress, abi, provider);
balance = await contract.getBalance("0x7C76C63DB86bfB5437f7426F4C37b15098Bb81da");
You should put await in async function to work, like this:
async function connectToMetamask(){
const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(window.ethereum, "any");
// Prompt user for account connections
await provider.send("eth_requestAccounts", []);
const signer = provider.getSigner();
console.log("Account:", await signer.getAddress());
}
