const {createWallet} = useCreateWallet();

Parameters

The createWallet method takes no parameters.

Returns

wallet
Promise<Wallet>

A Promise for the linked account object for the created wallet.

Callbacks

const {createWallet} = useCreateWallet({
    onSuccess: ({wallet}) => {
        console.log('Created wallet ', wallet);
    },
    onError: (error) => {
        console.error('Failed to create wallet with error ', e)
    }
})
