Detecting the Provider
The Phantom browser extension will inject an object called
solana on the window object of any web application the user visits. The solana object is also available on window.phantom to prevent namespace collisions.To detect if a browser extension using this API is installed, you can check for the existence of the
solana object.To make it easy to detect Phantom specifically, the extension adds an additional
isPhantom flag.1
const isPhantomInstalled = window.solana && window.solana.isPhantom
Copied!
If Phantom is not installed, we recommend you redirect your users to our website. Altogether, this may look like the following.
1
const getProvider = () => {
2
if ("solana" in window) {
3
const provider = window.solana;
4
if (provider.isPhantom) {
5
return provider;
6
}
7
}
8
window.open("https://phantom.app/", "_blank");
9
};
