Use ethAddress as Object Data (React)

Moralis General
#1

I’m trying to grab the current users ethAddress and use it to set data in another object but wont output the address whatsoever.

import { useNewMoralisObject, useMoralis } from "react-moralis";

export default function App() {
  const { save } = useNewMoralisObject("Monster");
  const { user } = useMoralis();

  const updateObject = async () => {
      const data = {
      strength: 1024,
      energy: 1337,
      owner: user.attributes.ethAddress
    };

    save(data, {
      onSuccess: (monster) => {
        monster.set("canFly", true);
        monster.set("strength", 1338);
        return monster.save();
      },
    });
  };

  return <button onClick={updateObject}>Call The Code</button>;
}

It displays the address perfectly when I use {user.attributes.ethAddress} inside a render function.

I’ve also tried user.get(“ethAddress”) with no success.

Any help would be appreciated!

The user will need to be authenticated or web3 connected to get the address e.g. Web3 Authentication.

And you can use account from useMoralis() to get the connected wallet’s address.

const { account, ... } = useMoralis();
