To get an account currently selected Metamask
Metamask is a popular cryptocurrency wallet that allows users to save, send and receive cryptocurrencies. When you connect your account to your site using Metamask Eth_Requestacounts (), it only returns the selected Ethereum account. If you change your accounts when the first one is still connected to your site, the “ETH_Requestacounts ()” method may return the wrong results.
problem
When a user changes accounts in Metamask, the wallet creates a new Blockchain session for every connection. As a result, all metamask connections are stored in the Ethereum node of the local machine. This means that even if you switch to another account when the first one is connected, your wallet only recently selected account information.
Solution
To solve the problem, you can use the ETH_Requestaccounts () method in the return function with an additional argument that defines the current Blockchain session (SSID). SSID is created when it creates a new connection to the Ethereum network. You can then compare these SSIDs to determine which account was selected.
Example Code
Here is an example of how to get your current account
`Javascript
Async function getcurrenteselectedaccount () {
Const [SelectedAccount, Boxes] = Waiting for Metamask.eth.Request ({{{{{{
Method: “Eth_RequestAccounts”,
Parameters: [],
});
If (boxes.the length> 0) {
Const sessionid = boxes [0] .ssid;
// Use SSID to determine which account are you currently
// For example:
Const SelectedAccountdress = Account.find ((Account) => Account.Address === Selectectccount) .address;
Console.log (Currently selected account: $ {selectedaccountaddress});
} Else {
Console.log ('account is not connected.');
}
}
Using a Return Function
To use this approach, you can change the call “Eth_Requestaccounts ()” to provide an additional argument that determines the current SSID:
`Javascript
Async function getcurrenteselectedaccount () {
Const [SelectedAccount, Boxes] = Waiting for Metamask.eth.Request ({{{{{{
Method: “Eth_RequestAccounts”,
Parameters: [
{{{
SSID: 'TE-SSID-HOR', // Replace the real ssid
},
],],
});
If (boxes.the length> 0) {
Const sessionid = boxes [0] .ssid;
Const SelectedAccountdress = Account.find ((Account) => Account.Address === Selectectccount) .address;
Console.log (Currently selected account: $ {selectedaccountaddress});
} Else {
Console.log ('account is not connected.');
}
}
conclusion
By using the ETH_Requestaccounts () method you can determine which account you are currently selected for the current SSID. This approach provides Ethereum accounts with accurate information on all Metamask connections.
Note: Be sure to replace “” in the SSID “with a real SSID.
