Flow Dev Wallet
The Flow Dev Wallet is a mock Flow wallet that simulates the protocols used by FCL to interact with the Flow blockchain on behalf of simulated user accounts.
IMPORTANT
Getting started
Before using the dev wallet, you'll need to start the Flow emulator.
Install the flow-cli
The Flow emulator is bundles with the Flow CLI. Instructions for installing the CLI can be found here: flow-cli/install/
Create a flow.json
file
Run this command to create flow.json
file (typically in your project's root directory):
Start the emulator
Start the emulator and deploy the contracts by running the following command from the directory containing flow.json
in your project:
Configuring your JavaScript application
The Flow Dev Wallet is designed to be used with @onflow/fcl
version 1.0.0
or higher. The FCL package can be installed with: npm install @onflow/fcl
or yarn add @onflow/fcl
.
To use the dev wallet, configure FCL to point to the address of a locally running Flow emulator and the dev wallet endpoint.
Test harness
It's easy to use this FCL harness app as a barebones app to interact with the dev-wallet during development:

Contributing
Releasing a new version of Dev Wallet is as simple as tagging and creating a release, a Github Action will then build a bundle of the Dev Wallet that can be used in other tools (such as CLI). If the update of the Dev Wallet is required in the CLI, a seperate update PR on the CLI should be created.
