useActiveProfile

useActiveProfile is a React Hook that lets you access the currently active Profile.

const { data, loading } = useActiveProfile();

Usage

import { useActiveProfile } from '@lens-protocol/react';

function ActiveProfileHandle() {
  const { data, loading } = useActiveProfile();
  
  if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>

  if (data === null) return <p>No active profile selected</p>

  return <p>@{data.handle}</p>
}
