Use a signer

ℹ️

We will show the usage of the signer with the Ethereum signer. The same logic can be applied to the other signers.

Installation

⚠️

This module is not standalone; it depends on the @ledgerhq/device-management-kit package, so you need to install it first.

To install the device-signer-kit-ethereum package, run the following command:

npm install @ledgerhq/device-signer-kit-ethereum

Usage

To initialize an Ethereum signer instance, you need a Ledger Device Management Kit instance and the ID of the session of the connected device. Use the SignerEthBuilder along with the Context Module by default developed by Ledger:

// Initialize an Ethereum signer instance using default context module
const signerEth = new SignerEthBuilder({ sdk, sessionId }).build();

You can also configure the context module yourself:

// Initialize an Ethereum signer instance using customized context module
const signerEth = new SignerEthBuilder({ sdk, sessionId })
  .withContextModule(customContextModule)
  .build();
