Embedded Wallets Quickstart

Prerequisites

This guide assumes you’ve completed the steps to create an account, organization, and API keypair as described in the Account Setup section.

Installation

Create a new Next.js app via npx create-next-app@latest. Or install into an existing project.

npm install @turnkey/sdk-react

pnpm add @turnkey/sdk-react

yarn add @turnkey/sdk-react

Technical RequirementsNext.js App Router Required@turnkey/sdk-react requires the Next.js App Router architecture as it leverages React Server Components and Server Actions to handle authentication on your behalf. The SDK automatically manages the “use client” and “use server” directives. The Pages Router is not supported.React 19 UsersIf you’re using Next.js 15 with React 19 you may encounter an installation error with @turnkey/sdk-react. Consider:

Downgrading React to 18.x.x
Using npm install --force or --legacy-peer-deps

You may learn more about this here.

Setup

Environment

The following environment variables are necessary to use the Turnkey SDK.

.env

NEXT_PUBLIC_ORGANIZATION_ID=<your turnkey org id>
TURNKEY_API_PUBLIC_KEY=<your api public key>
TURNKEY_API_PRIVATE_KEY=<your api private key>
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://api.turnkey.com

Note: These environment variable names must be used exactly as shown. The SDK depends on them internally for server actions and authentication.

Configure

Fill in with your Organization ID and API Base URL.

src/app/layout.tsx

const config = {
  apiBaseUrl: "https://api.turnkey.com",
  defaultOrganizationId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_ORGANIZATION_ID,
};

Provider

Wrap your layout with the TurnkeyProvider component, and import styles from sdk-react.

src/app/layout.tsx

import "./globals.css";
import { TurnkeyProvider } from "@turnkey/sdk-react";
import "@turnkey/sdk-react/styles"; // required to render auth component styles properly

const config = {
  apiBaseUrl: "https://api.turnkey.com",
  defaultOrganizationId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_ORGANIZATION_ID!,
};

export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <TurnkeyProvider config={config}>
        {children}
        </TurnkeyProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

React 19 Users@turnkey/sdk-react is built with React 18. If you’re using React 19 you’ll find a type mismatch on the children type.To fix this, you can use the @ts-ignore directive to suppress the error.src/app/layout.tsx

<TurnkeyProvider config={config}>  {/* @ts-ignore */}  {children}</TurnkeyProvider>

We’re actively working towards React 19 compatibility.

Authenticate

The auth component contains the UI and logic to handle the authentication flow.

Configure

For simplicity, this app will only support email authentication. We have other guides on additional authentication methods. Additionally, you can customize the order in which the auth methods are displayed.

src/app/page.tsx

"use client";

export default function Home() {
  // The auth methods to display in the UI
  const config = {
    authConfig: {
      emailEnabled: true,
      // Set the rest to false to disable them
      passkeyEnabled: false,
      phoneEnabled: false,
      appleEnabled: false,
      facebookEnabled: false,
      googleEnabled: false,
      walletEnabled: false,
    },
    // The order of the auth methods to display in the UI
    configOrder: ["email" /* "passkey", "phone", "socials" */],
  };

  return <div></div>;
}

Auth Config Options

type AuthConfig = {
  emailEnabled: boolean;
  passkeyEnabled: boolean;
  phoneEnabled: boolean;
  appleEnabled: boolean;
  googleEnabled: boolean;
  facebookEnabled: boolean;
  walletEnabled: boolean;
};

Import

Import the auth component into your app and pass in the config object.

src/app/page.tsx

"use client";

import { Auth } from "@turnkey/sdk-react";

export default function Home() {
  const config = {
    authConfig: {
      emailEnabled: true,
      passkeyEnabled: false,
      phoneEnabled: false,
      appleEnabled: false,
      facebookEnabled: false,
      googleEnabled: false,
      walletEnabled: false,
    },
    configOrder: ["email"],
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <Auth {...config} />
    </div>
  );
}

Handlers

Define two functions to handle the “success” and “error” states. Initially, the onError function will set an errorMessage state variable which will be used to display an error message to the user. The onAuthSuccess function will route the user to the dashboard after successful authentication.A new sub-organization and wallet is created for each new user during the authentication flow.

src/app/page.tsx

"use client";

import { useState } from "react";
import { Auth } from "@turnkey/sdk-react";

export default function Home() {
  const [errorMessage, setErrorMessage] = useState("");
  const router = useRouter();

  const onAuthSuccess = async () => {
    // We'll add the dashboard route in the next step
    router.push("/dashboard");
  };

  const onError = (errorMessage: string) => {
    setErrorMessage(errorMessage);
  };

  // Add the handlers to the config object
  const config = {
    // ...
    onAuthSuccess: onAuthSuccess,
    onError: onError,
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <Auth {...config} />
    </div>
  );
}

Dashboard: User Session

Add a dashboard route to the app where the user will be able to view their account and sign messages.

src/app/dashboard/page.tsx

export default function Dashboard() {
  return <div>Dashboard</div>;
}

Since the app is wrapped with the TurnkeyProvider component, the useTurnkey hook is available to all child components. Calling turnkey.getSession() will return the current user’s session information from local storage.Add a state variable to store the user:

src/app/dashboard/page.tsx

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { useTurnkey } from "@turnkey/sdk-react";
import { Session } from "@turnkey/sdk-types";

export default function Dashboard() {
  const { turnkey } = useTurnkey();
  const [session, setSession] = useState<Session | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (turnkey) {
			turnkey.getSession().then((session) => {
				setSession(session ?? null);
			});
    }
  }, [turnkey]);

  return <div>Dashboard</div>;
}

User Session

export type Session = {
  sessionType: SessionType;
  userId: string;
  organizationId: string;
  expiry: number; // Unix timestamp representing the expiry of the session set by the server
  token: string;  // publicKey used to verify stamped requests (lives in IndexedDB); can temporarily be a read bearer token
};

Sign Message

Turnkey supports signing arbitrary messages with the signRawPayload method. The signRawPayload method requires these parameters:

payload: The raw unsigned payload to sign
signWith: The signing address (wallet account, private key address, or private key ID)
encoding: The message encoding format
hashFunction: The selected hash algorithm

The Payload

For simplicity, a human readable string, message, will be the payload to sign. Add a state variable to store the message and an input field to allow the user to enter the message:

src/app/dashboard/page.tsx

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";

export default function Dashboard() {
//...

const [message, setMessage] = useState("");

//...

return (
  <input
    type="text"
    value={message}
    onChange={(e) => setMessage(e.target.value)}
    placeholder="Enter message to sign"
    className="w-full px-4 py-2 border border-gray-300 rounded-lg focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-indigo-500"
  />
);
}

The Signer

Signing messages requires a signer e.g. a Turnkey wallet address to sign with and a payload or message to sign. A new wallet is created for each user during the authentication flow.Create a function called getSignWith, to get the user’s wallet account address which will be used to sign the message.Use the getSession method from the useTurnkey hook to get the user’s read-write session:

src/app/dashboard/page.tsx

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { useTurnkey } from "@turnkey/sdk-react";
import { Session } from "@turnkey/sdk-types";

export default function Dashboard() {
  const { turnkey, indexedDbClient } = useTurnkey();
  const [session, setSession] = useState<Session | null>(null);

  const client = indexedDbClient;

  if (session) {
      // The user's sub-organization id
      const organizationId = session?.organizationId;

      // Get the user's wallets
      const wallets = await client?.getWallets({
        organizationId,
      });

      // Get the first wallet of the user
      const walletId = wallets?.wallets[0].walletId ?? '';

      // Use the `walletId` to get the accounts associated with the wallet
      const accounts = await client?.getWalletAccounts({
        organizationId,
        walletId,
      });

      // find an Ethereum account
      const matchingAccount = accounts?.accounts.find(
        (account) => account.addressFormat === 'ADDRESS_FORMAT_ETHEREUM'
      );

      const signWith = matchingAccount?.address ?? '';

      console.log('signWith:', signWith);

      return signWith;
      
    } else {
      // log out and clear session
    }

  useEffect(/* ... */*/);

  return (/* <div>...</div> */*/);
}

The Signing Function

Create a function called signMessage. This function will:

Get the user’s wallet account for signing the message
Compute the keccak256 hash of the message
Call the signRawPayload method

Note: To compute the keccak256 hash of the message, this example uses the hashMessage function from viem. However, any other hashing library can be used.

const signMessage = async () => {
    try {
      const payload = hashMessage(message);
      const signWith = await getSignWith();
      if (!signWith) {
        throw new Error('Missing signWith value');
      }

      const signature = await client?.signRawPayload({
        payload,
        signWith,
        // The message encoding format
        encoding: 'PAYLOAD_ENCODING_TEXT_UTF8',
        // The hash function used to hash the message
        hashFunction: 'HASH_FUNCTION_KECCAK256',
      });

      if (signature?.r && signature?.s && signature?.v) {
        const fullSignature = `0x${signature.v}${signature.r}${signature.s}`;
        setSignature(fullSignature);
      } else {
        setSignature(null);
        console.warn('Incomplete signature components');
      }
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Signing failed:', err);
      setSignature('Error signing message');
    }
  };

Display

Add a button to the UI to trigger the signMessage function.

src/app/dashboard/page.tsx

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { useTurnkey } from "@turnkey/sdk-react";
import { hashMessage } from "viem";

export default function Dashboard() {
  //...

  const [message, setMessage] = useState("");

  const signMessage = async () => {
    try {
      const payload = hashMessage(message);
      const signWith = await getSignWith();
      if (!signWith) {
        throw new Error('Missing signWith value');
      }

      const signature = await client?.signRawPayload({
        payload,
        signWith,
        // The message encoding format
        encoding: 'PAYLOAD_ENCODING_TEXT_UTF8',
        // The hash function used to hash the message
        hashFunction: 'HASH_FUNCTION_KECCAK256',
      });

      if (signature?.r && signature?.s && signature?.v) {
        const fullSignature = `0x${signature.v}${signature.r}${signature.s}`;
        setSignature(fullSignature);
      } else {
        setSignature(null);
        console.warn('Incomplete signature components');
      }
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Signing failed:', err);
      setSignature('Error signing message');
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="max-w-2xl mx-auto mt-20 p-8 bg-white rounded-xl shadow-lg space-y-6">
        <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold text-gray-800">Sign a Message</h2>

        <input
          type="text"
          value={message}
          onChange={(e) => setMessage(e.target.value)}
          placeholder="Enter message to sign"
          className="w-full px-4 py-2 border border-gray-300 rounded-lg focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-indigo-500"
        />

        <button
          onClick={signMessage}
          className="w-full bg-gray-600 hover:bg-gray-700 text-white font-semibold py-2 px-4 rounded-lg transition-colors"
        >
          Sign Message
        </button>

        {signature && (
          <div className="bg-gray-100 p-4 rounded-lg border border-gray-300">
            <h3 className="text-lg font-medium text-gray-700 mb-2">
              Signature
            </h3>
            <code className="block text-sm text-gray-800 break-words">
              {signature}
            </code>
          </div>
        )}
      </div>
  );
}

Handle logout

Add a logout button that triggers handleLogout and clears the indexedDb stored key and session.

src/app/dashboard/page.tsx

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import { useTurnkey } from "@turnkey/sdk-react";
import { hashMessage } from "viem";

export default function Dashboard() {
  //...

   const handleLogout = async () => {
    try {
      turnkey?.logout();
      indexedDbClient?.clear();
      setSession(null);
      setSignature(null);
      setMessage('');
    
      router.push('/'); // Redirect to the first page
      window.location.href = "/";
    
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Logout failed:', err);
    }
  };

  //...

  return (
    //...
     {/* Logout Button */}
      <button
        onClick={handleLogout}
        className="absolute top-6 right-6 bg-red-500 hover:bg-red-600 text-white font-semibold py-2 px-4 rounded-lg shadow transition-all"
      >
        Logout
      </button>
    //...
  );
}
