useCreateProfile

🚧

Testnet only

Lens Protocol is currently gated and will be opening up soon for anyone to mint a profile, for now only Testnet allows useCreateProfile to work.

const { execute, error, isPending } = useCreateProfile();

Usage

Call useCreateProfile in the component responsible to accept the desired handle.

import { isValidHandle, useCreateProfile } from '@lens-protocol/react-web';


const [handle, setHandle] = useState<string | null>(null);

const { execute: create, error, isPending } = useCreateProfile();

const onSubmit = async (e: FormEvent) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  if (!handle) return;
  await create(handle);
};

<form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
  <input
    minLength={5}
    maxLength={31}
    required
    type="text"
    disabled={isPending}
    onChange={(e) => {
      if (isValidHandle(e.target.value)) {
        setHandle(e.target.value);
      } else {
        setHandle(null);
      }
    }}
  />
  
  <button type="submit">Create</button>
</form>

🚧

isValidHandle is available from 0.3.x onward.

Reference

useCreateprofile

Parameters

useCreateProfile does not take any parameters.

Returns

Returns an object with:

• execute: a function you can use to initiate the creation of a new Lens Profile.
• isPending: a boolean notifying you when the operation is still in progress.
• error: any error that might occur in normal operation conditions will be returned via this property. Default value null
  • DuplicatedHandleError - the provided handle has already been taken

execute function

You can use the execute function to initiate the profile creation process. Depending on the network conditions, this might take a while as the hook waits for the operation to be executed and indexed by the Lens API.

Parameters

It accepts a string with the desired handle. The handle should not contain the .test suffix (nor the .lens for the Lens Protocol main-net deployment).

Returns

It returns a Promise<void> that you can use to sync with the state of your component. For example you can clear the content of any text input field when such promise resolves.
