Retrieve Balance

Retrieve the balance and format for display. MiniPay is a stablecoin wallet. Retrieving the balance of one of our supported stablecoins is done by reading the token's smart contract.

typescript
import { useAccount, useReadContracts } from "wagmi";
import { erc20Abi, formatUnits, Hex } from "viem";

const Example = () => {
  const account = useAccount();
  const token = "0xcebA9300f2b948710d2653dD7B07f33A8B32118C" // USDC on Celo mainnet

  const { data: balanceResult } = useReadContracts({
    allowFailure: false,
    contracts: [
      {
        address: token,
        abi: erc20Abi,
        functionName: 'balanceOf',
        args: [account?.address as Hex]
      },
      {
        address: token,
        abi: erc20Abi,
        functionName: 'decimals',
      },
      {
        address: token,
        abi: erc20Abi,
        functionName: 'symbol'
      },
    ],
  })

  const [balance, decimals, symbol] = balanceResult || []

  const stringBalance = balance && decimals && formatUnits(balance, decimals); // 0.05

  const userLocale = navigator.language || "en-US"; // Fallback to 'en-US' if not available

  // Decimal formatter based on user's locale
  const decimalFormatter = new Intl.NumberFormat(userLocale, {
    style: "decimal",
    minimumFractionDigits: 0,
    maximumFractionDigits: 2
  });

  const formattedBalance = decimalFormatter.format(+stringBalance); // 0.05 or 0,05

  return `${formattedBalance} ${symbol}`; // 0.05 USDC
};

Explanation

  • useAccount: This hook retrieves the current account information, including the address.
  • useReadContracts: This hook reads the function of one or multiple smart contracts.
  • formatUnits: Converts the balance from its raw format to a human-readable string.
  • Intl.NumberFormat: Formats the balance as a currency string based on the user's locale.

Notes

  • Ensure wagmi is correctly configured. Follow our quickstart guide to know how.
  • Ensure that the account address is correctly retrieved and passed to the useBalance hook.
  • Ensure the token constant is correctly set to the stablecoin you want the balance of. Check the Token addresses tab to get the list of stablecoin addresses on Celo and Celo Alfajores (testnet).

For more information, refer to the Wagmi documentation.
