Function useNetwork

Deprecated

• use useChain, useSwitchChain, useChainId instead

Hook for getting metadata about the network the current wallet is connected to and switching networks

Example

import { useNetwork } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";

const App = () => {
  const [, switchNetwork] = useNetwork();
  return (
     // switchNetwork is undefined if the wallet does not support programmatic network switching
     // 137 is the chainId for Polygon in this example
    <button onClick={() => switchNetwork(137)}>
       Switch Network
    </button>
  );
};
Copy

It's important to note that some wallet apps do not support programmatic network switching and switchNetwork will be undefined. For those situations, you can typically switch networks in the wallet app this hook will still work.
