useSwitchChain ​

Composable for switching the target chain for a connector or the Wagmi Config.

Import ​

ts
import { useSwitchChain } from '@wagmi/vue'

Usage ​

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useSwitchChain } from '@wagmi/vue'

const { chains, switchChain } = useSwitchChain()
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <button 
      v-for="chain in chains" 
      :key="chain.id" 
      @click="switchChain({ chainId: chain.id })"
    >
      {{ chain.name }}
    </button>
  </div>
</template>
ts
import { http, createConfig } from '@wagmi/vue'
import { mainnet, sepolia } from '@wagmi/vue/chains'

export const config = createConfig({
  chains: [mainnet, sepolia],
  transports: {
    [mainnet.id]: http(),
    [sepolia.id]: http(),
  },
})

TIP

When connected, switchChain will switch the target chain for the connector. When not connected, switchChain will switch the target chain for the Wagmi Config.

Parameters ​

ts
import { type UseSwitchChainParameters } from '@wagmi/vue'

config ​

Config | undefined

Config to use instead of retrieving from the WagmiPlugin.

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useSwitchChain } from '@wagmi/vue'
import { config } from './config'

const result = useSwitchChain({
  config, 
})
</script>
ts
import { http, createConfig } from '@wagmi/vue'
import { mainnet, sepolia } from '@wagmi/vue/chains'

export const config = createConfig({
  chains: [mainnet, sepolia],
  transports: {
    [mainnet.id]: http(),
    [sepolia.id]: http(),
  },
})


mutation ​

TanStack Query parameters. See the TanStack Query mutation docs for more info.

Wagmi does not support passing all TanStack Query parameters

TanStack Query parameters, like mutationFn and mutationKey, are used internally to make Wagmi work and you cannot override them. Check out the source to see what parameters are not supported. All parameters listed below are supported.

gcTime ​

number | Infinity | undefined

  • The time in milliseconds that unused/inactive cache data remains in memory. When a mutation's cache becomes unused or inactive, that cache data will be garbage collected after this duration. When different cache times are specified, the longest one will be used.
  • If set to Infinity, will disable garbage collection

meta ​

Record<string, unknown> | undefined

If set, stores additional information on the mutation cache entry that can be used as needed. It will be accessible wherever switchChain is available (e.g. onError, onSuccess functions).

networkMode ​

'online' | 'always' | 'offlineFirst' | undefined

onError ​

((error: SwitchChainErrorType, variables: SwitchChainVariables, context?: context | undefined) => Promise<unknown> | unknown) | undefined

This function will fire if the mutation encounters an error and will be passed the error.

onMutate ​

((variables: SwitchChainVariables) => Promise<context | void> | context | void) | undefined

  • This function will fire before the mutation function is fired and is passed the same variables the mutation function would receive
  • Useful to perform optimistic updates to a resource in hopes that the mutation succeeds
  • The value returned from this function will be passed to both the onError and onSettled functions in the event of a mutation failure and can be useful for rolling back optimistic updates.

onSuccess ​

((data: SwitchChainData, variables: SwitchChainVariables, context?: context | undefined) => Promise<unknown> | unknown) | undefined

This function will fire when the mutation is successful and will be passed the mutation's result.

onSettled ​

((data: SwitchChainData, error: SwitchChainErrorType, variables: SwitchChainVariables, context?: context | undefined) => Promise<unknown> | unknown) | undefined

This function will fire when the mutation is either successfully fetched or encounters an error and be passed either the data or error

queryClient ​

QueryClient

Use this to use a custom QueryClient. Otherwise, the one from the nearest context will be used.

retry ​

boolean | number | ((failureCount: number, error: SwitchChainErrorType) => boolean) | undefined

  • Defaults to 0.
  • If false, failed mutations will not retry.
  • If true, failed mutations will retry infinitely.
  • If set to an number, e.g. 3, failed mutations will retry until the failed mutations count meets that number.

retryDelay ​

number | ((retryAttempt: number, error: SwitchChainErrorType) => number) | undefined

  • This function receives a retryAttempt integer and the actual Error and returns the delay to apply before the next attempt in milliseconds.
  • A function like attempt => Math.min(attempt > 1 ? 2 ** attempt * 1000 : 1000, 30 * 1000) applies exponential backoff.
  • A function like attempt => attempt * 1000 applies linear backoff.

Return Type ​

ts
import { type UseSwitchChainReturnType } from '@wagmi/vue'

chains ​

readonly [Chain, ...Chain[]]

Globally configured chains. Useful for rendering a list of available chains to switch to.

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useSwitchChain } from '@wagmi/vue'

const { chains, switchChain } = useSwitchChain()
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <button 
      v-for="chain in chains" 
      :key="chain.id" 
      @click="switchChain({ chainId: chain.id })"
    >
      {{ chain.name }}
    </button>
  </div>
</template>
ts
import { http, createConfig } from '@wagmi/vue'
import { mainnet, sepolia } from '@wagmi/vue/chains'

export const config = createConfig({
  chains: [mainnet, sepolia],
  transports: {
    [mainnet.id]: http(),
    [sepolia.id]: http(),
  },
})


TanStack Query mutation docs

switchChain ​

(variables: SwitchChainVariables, { onSuccess, onSettled, onError }) => void

The mutation function you can call with variables to trigger the mutation and optionally hooks on additional callback options.

  • variables ​

    SwitchChainVariables

    The variables object to pass to the switchChain action.

  • onSuccess ​

    (data: SwitchChainData, variables: SwitchChainVariables, context: TContext) => void

    This function will fire when the mutation is successful and will be passed the mutation's result.

  • onError ​

    (error: SwitchChainErrorType, variables: SwitchChainVariables, context: TContext | undefined) => void

    This function will fire if the mutation encounters an error and will be passed the error.

  • onSettled ​

    (data: SwitchChainData | undefined, error: SwitchChainErrorType | null, variables: SwitchChainVariables, context: TContext | undefined) => void

    • This function will fire when the mutation is either successfully fetched or encounters an error and be passed either the data or error
    • If you make multiple requests, onSuccess will fire only after the latest call you've made.

switchChainAsync ​

(variables: SwitchChainVariables, { onSuccess, onSettled, onError }) => Promise<SwitchChainData>

Similar to switchChain but returns a promise which can be awaited.

data ​

SwitchChainData | undefined

error ​

SwitchChainErrorType | null

The error object for the mutation, if an error was encountered.

failureCount ​

number

  • The failure count for the mutation.
  • Incremented every time the mutation fails.
  • Reset to 0 when the mutation succeeds.

failureReason ​

SwitchChainErrorType | null

  • The failure reason for the mutation retry.
  • Reset to null when the mutation succeeds.

isError / isIdle / isPending / isSuccess ​

boolean

Boolean variables derived from status.

isPaused ​

boolean

  • will be true if the mutation has been paused.
  • see Network Mode for more information.

reset ​

() => void

A function to clean the mutation internal state (e.g. it resets the mutation to its initial state).

status ​

'idle' | 'pending' | 'error' | 'success'

  • 'idle' initial status prior to the mutation function executing.
  • 'pending' if the mutation is currently executing.
  • 'error' if the last mutation attempt resulted in an error.
  • 'success' if the last mutation attempt was successful.

submittedAt ​

number

  • The timestamp for when the mutation was submitted.
  • Defaults to 0.

variables ​

SwitchChainVariables | undefined

  • The variables object passed to switchChain.
  • Defaults to undefined.
