Flow Client Library (FCL) API Reference
For release updates, see the repo
Configuration
FCL has a mechanism that lets you configure various aspects of FCL. When you move from one instance of the Flow Blockchain to another (Local Emulator to Testnet to Mainnet) the only thing you should need to change for your FCL implementation is your configuration.
Setting Configuration Values
Values only need to be set once. We recommend doing this once and as early in the life cycle as possible. To set a configuration value, the put
method on the config
instance needs to be called, the put
method returns the config
instance so they can be chained.
Alternatively, you can set the config by passing a JSON object directly.
_13import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_13_13fcl_13 .config() // returns the config instance_13 .put('foo', 'bar') // configures "foo" to be "bar"_13 .put('baz', 'buz'); // configures "baz" to be "buz"_13_13// OR_13_13fcl.config({_13 foo: 'bar',_13 baz: 'buz',_13});
Getting Configuration Values
The config
instance has an asynchronous get
method. You can also pass it a fallback value.
_15import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_15_15fcl.config().put('foo', 'bar').put('woot', 5).put('rawr', 7);_15_15const FALLBACK = 1;_15_15async function addStuff() {_15 var woot = await fcl.config().get('woot', FALLBACK); // will be 5 -- set in the config before_15 var rawr = await fcl.config().get('rawr', FALLBACK); // will be 7 -- set in the config before_15 var hmmm = await fcl.config().get('hmmm', FALLBACK); // will be 1 -- uses fallback because this isnt in the config_15_15 return woot + rawr + hmmm;_15}_15_15addStuff().then((d) => console.log(d)); // 13 (5 + 7 + 1)

Using Contracts in Scripts and Transactions
Address Replacement
Configuration keys that start with 0x
will be replaced in FCL scripts and transactions, this allows you to write your script or transaction Cadence code once and not have to change it when you point your application at a difference instance of the Flow Blockchain.
_27import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_27_27fcl.config().put('0xFungibleToken', '0xf233dcee88fe0abe');_27_27async function myScript() {_27 return fcl_27 .send([_27 fcl.script`_27 import FungibleToken from 0xFungibleToken // will be replaced with 0xf233dcee88fe0abe because of the configuration_27_27 access(all) fun main() { /* Rest of the script goes here */ }_27 `,_27 ])_27 .then(fcl.decode);_27}_27_27async function myTransaction() {_27 return fcl_27 .send([_27 fcl.transaction`_27 import FungibleToken from 0xFungibleToken // will be replaced with 0xf233dcee88fe0abe because of the configuration_27_27 transaction { /* Rest of the transaction goes here */ }_27 `,_27 ])_27 .then(fcl.decode);_27}
Example
_14import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_14_14fcl_14 .config()_14 .put('flow.network', 'testnet')_14 .put('walletconnect.projectId', 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID')_14 .put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org')_14 .put('discovery.wallet', 'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn')_14 .put('app.detail.title', 'Test Harness')_14 .put('app.detail.icon', 'https://i.imgur.com/r23Zhvu.png')_14 .put('app.detail.description', 'A test harness for FCL')_14 .put('app.detail.url', 'https://myapp.com')_14 .put('service.OpenID.scopes', 'email email_verified name zoneinfo')_14 .put('0xFlowToken', '0x7e60df042a9c0868');
Using flow.json
for Contract Imports
A simpler and more flexible way to manage contract imports in scripts and transactions is by using the config.load
method in FCL. This lets you load contract configurations from a flow.json
file, keeping your import syntax clean and allowing FCL to pick the correct contract addresses based on the network you're using.
Setting Up
1. Define Your Contracts in flow.json
Here’s an example of a flow.json
file with aliases for multiple networks:
_11{_11 "contracts": {_11 "HelloWorld": {_11 "source": "./cadence/contracts/HelloWorld.cdc",_11 "aliases": {_11 "testnet": "0x1cf0e2f2f715450",_11 "mainnet": "0xf8d6e0586b0a20c7"_11 }_11 }_11 }_11}
source
: Points to the contract file in your project.aliases
: Maps each network to the correct contract address.
2. Configure FCL
Load the flow.json
file and set up FCL to use it:
_10import { config } from '@onflow/fcl';_10import flowJSON from '../flow.json';_10_10config({_10 'flow.network': 'testnet', // Choose your network, e.g., testnet or mainnet_10 'accessNode.api': 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org', // Access node for the network_10 'discovery.wallet': `https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn`, // Wallet discovery_10}).load({ flowJSON });
With this setup, FCL will automatically use the correct contract address based on the selected network (e.g., testnet
or mainnet
).
3. Use Contract Names in Scripts and Transactions
After setting up flow.json
, you can import contracts by name in your Cadence scripts or transactions:
_10import "HelloWorld"_10_10access(all) fun main(): String {_10 return HelloWorld.sayHello()_10}
FCL replaces "HelloWorld"
with the correct address from the flow.json
configuration.
Note: Don’t store private keys in your
flow.json
. Instead, use the key/location syntax to keep sensitive keys in a separate,.gitignore
-protected file.
Wallet Interactions
These methods allows dapps to interact with FCL compatible wallets in order to authenticate the user and authorize transactions on their behalf.
⚠️These methods are async.
authenticate
⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.
Calling this method will authenticate the current user via any wallet that supports FCL. Once called, FCL will initiate communication with the configured discovery.wallet
endpoint which lets the user select a wallet to authenticate with. Once the wallet provider has authenticated the user, FCL will set the values on the current user object for future use and authorization.
Note
⚠️discovery.wallet
value must be set in the configuration before calling this method. See FCL Configuration.
📣 The default discovery endpoint will open an iframe overlay to let the user choose a supported wallet.
Usage
_10import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_10fcl_10 .config()_10 .put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org')_10 .put('discovery.wallet', 'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn');_10// anywhere on the page_10fcl.authenticate();
Note
⚠️ authenticate
can also take a service returned from discovery with fcl.authenticate({ service })
.
unauthenticate
⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.
Logs out the current user and sets the values on the current user object to null.
Note
⚠️The current user must be authenticated first.
Usage
_10import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_10fcl.config().put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org');_10// first authenticate to set current user_10fcl.authenticate();_10// ... somewhere else & sometime later_10fcl.unauthenticate();_10// fcl.currentUser.loggedIn === null
reauthenticate
⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.
A convenience method that calls fcl.unauthenticate()
and then fcl.authenticate()
for the current user.
Note
⚠️The current user must be authenticated first.
Usage
_10import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_10// first authenticate to set current user_10fcl.authenticate();_10// ... somewhere else & sometime later_10fcl.reauthenticate();_10// logs out user and opens up login/sign-up flow
signUp
⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.
A convenience method that calls and is equivalent to fcl.authenticate()
.
logIn
⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.
A convenience method that calls and is equivalent to fcl.authenticate()
.
authz
A convenience method that produces the needed authorization details for the current user to submit transactions to Flow. It defines a signing function that connects to a user's wallet provider to produce signatures to submit transactions.
📣 You can replace this function with your own authorization function if needed.
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
AuthorizationObject | An object containing the necessary details from the current user to authorize a transaction in any role. |
Usage
Note: The default values for proposer
, payer
, and authorizations
are already fcl.authz
so there is no need to include these parameters, it is shown only for example purposes. See more on signing roles.
_22import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_22// login somewhere before_22fcl.authenticate();_22// once logged in authz will produce values_22console.log(fcl.authz);_22// prints {addr, signingFunction, keyId, sequenceNum} from the current authenticated user._22_22const txId = await fcl.mutate({_22 cadence: `_22 import Profile from 0xba1132bc08f82fe2_22 _22 transaction(name: String) {_22 prepare(account: auth(BorrowValue) &Account) {_22 account.storage.borrow<&{Profile.Owner}>(from: Profile.privatePath)!.setName(name)_22 }_22 }_22 `,_22 args: (arg, t) => [arg('myName', t.String)],_22 proposer: fcl.authz, // optional - default is fcl.authz_22 payer: fcl.authz, // optional - default is fcl.authz_22 authorizations: [fcl.authz], // optional - default is [fcl.authz]_22});
Current User
Holds the current user, if set, and offers a set of functions to manage the authentication and authorization of the user.
⚠️The following methods can only be used in web browsers.
currentUser.subscribe
The callback passed to subscribe will be called when the user authenticates and un-authenticates, making it easy to update the UI accordingly.
Arguments
Name | Type | |
---|---|---|
callback | function | The callback will be called with the current user as the first argument when the current user is set or removed. |

currentUser.snapshot
Returns the current user object. This is the same object that is set and available on fcl.currentUser.subscribe(callback)
.
Usage
_10// returns the current user object_10const user = fcl.currentUser.snapshot();_10_10// subscribes to the current user object and logs to console on changes_10fcl.currentUser.subscribe(console.log);
currentUser.authenticate
Equivalent to fcl.authenticate
.
currentUser.unauthenticate
Equivalent to fcl.unauthenticate
.
currentUser.authorization
Equivalent to fcl.authz
currentUser.signUserMessage
A method to use allowing the user to personally sign data via FCL Compatible Wallets/Services.
⚠️ This method requires the current user's wallet to support a signing service endpoint. Currently, only Blocto is compatible with this feature by default.
Arguments
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
message | string (required) | A hexadecimal string to be signed |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
Array | An Array of CompositeSignatures: signature |
Usage
_10import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_10_10export const signMessage = async () => {_10 const MSG = Buffer.from('FOO').toString('hex');_10 try {_10 return await currentUser.signUserMessage(MSG);_10 } catch (error) {_10 console.log(error);_10 }_10};
Discovery
discovery
Discovery abstracts away code so that developers don't have to deal with the discovery of Flow compatible wallets, integration, or authentication. Using discovery
from FCL allows dapps to list and authenticate with wallets while having full control over the UI. Common use cases for this are login or registration pages.
(Alternatively, if you don't need control over your UI you can continue to use the discovery.wallet
config value documented in the Quickstart for the simplest configuration.)
⚠️The following methods can only be used in web browsers.
Note
⚠️discovery.authn.endpoint
value must be set in the configuration before calling this method. See FCL Configuration.
Suggested Configuration
Environment | Example |
---|---|
Mainnet | https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/authn |
Testnet | https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/testnet/authn |
If the Discovery endpoint is set in config, then you can iterate through authn services and pass the chosen service to authenticate to authenticate a user.
Usage
_24import './config';_24import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';_24import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_24_24function Component() {_24 const [wallets, setWallets] = useState([]);_24 useEffect(_24 () => fcl.discovery.authn.subscribe((res) => setWallets(res.results)),_24 [],_24 );_24_24 return (_24 <div>_24 {wallets.map((wallet) => (_24 <button_24 key={wallet.provider.address}_24 onClick={() => fcl.authenticate({ service: wallet })}_24 >_24 Login with {wallet.provider.name}_24 </button>_24 ))}_24 </div>_24 );_24}
authn
More Configuration
By default, limited functionality services or services that require developer registration, like Ledger or Dapper Wallet, require apps to opt-in in order to display to users. To enable opt-in services in an application, use the discovery.authn.include
property in your configuration with a value of an array of services you'd like your app to opt-in to displaying for users.
_10import { config } from '@onflow/fcl';_10_10config({_10 'discovery.authn.endpoint':_10 'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/testnet/authn', // Endpoint set to Testnet_10 'discovery.authn.include': ['0x9d2e44203cb13051'], // Ledger wallet address on Testnet set to be included_10});
Opt-In Wallet Addresses on Testnet and Mainnet
Service | Testnet | Mainnet |
---|---|---|
Dapper Wallet | 0x82ec283f88a62e65 | 0xead892083b3e2c6c |
Ledger | 0x9d2e44203cb13051 | 0xe5cd26afebe62781 |
For more details on wallets, view the service list here.
discovery.authn.snapshot()
Return a list of authn
services.
discovery.authn.subscribe(callback)
The callback sent to subscribe
will be called with a list of authn
services.
On-chain Interactions
📣 These methods can be used in browsers and NodeJS.
These methods allows dapps to interact directly with the Flow blockchain via a set of functions that currently use the Access Node API.
Query and Mutate Flow with Cadence
If you want to run arbitrary Cadence scripts on the blockchain, these methods offer a convenient way to do so without having to build, send, and decode interactions.
query
Allows you to submit scripts to query the blockchain.
Options
Pass in the following as a single object with the following keys.All keys are optional unless otherwise stated.
Key | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
cadence | string (required) | A valid cadence script. |
args | ArgumentFunction | Any arguments to the script if needed should be supplied via a function that returns an array of arguments. |
limit | number | Compute (Gas) limit for query. Read the documentation about computation cost for information about how computation cost is calculated on Flow. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
any | A JSON representation of the response. |
Usage
_16import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';_16_16const result = await fcl.query({_16 cadence: `_16 access(all) fun main(a: Int, b: Int, addr: Address): Int {_16 log(addr)_16 return a + b_16 }_16 `,_16 args: (arg, t) => [_16 arg(7, t.Int), // a: Int_16 arg(6, t.Int), // b: Int_16 arg('0xba1132bc08f82fe2', t.Address), // addr: Address_16 ],_16});_16console.log(result); // 13
Examples
mutate
Allows you to submit transactions to the blockchain to potentially mutate the state.
⚠️When being used in the browser, fcl.mutate
uses the built-in fcl.authz
function to produce the authorization (signatures) for the current user. When calling this method from Node.js, you will need to supply your own custom authorization function.

Examples
Query and mutate the blockchain with Builders
In some cases, you may want to utilize pre-built interactions or build more complex interactions than what the fcl.query
and fcl.mutate
interface offer. To do this, FCL uses a pattern of building up an interaction with a combination of builders, resolving them, and sending them to the chain.
⚠️Recommendation: Unless you have a specific use case that require usage of these builders, you should be able to achieve most cases with
fcl.query({...options}
orfcl.mutate({...options})
send
Sends arbitrary scripts, transactions, and requests to Flow.
This method consumes an array of builders that are to be resolved and sent. The builders required to be included in the array depend on the interaction that is being built.
Note
⚠️Must be used in conjuction with fcl.decode(response)
to get back correct keys and all values in JSON.
Arguments
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
builders | [Builders] | See builder functions. |
Returns
Type | Description |

Types, Interfaces, and Definitions
Builders
Builders are modular functions that can be coupled together with fcl.send([...builders])
to create an Interaction. The builders needed to create an interaction depend on the script or transaction that is being sent.
Interaction
An interaction is an object containing the information to perform an action on chain.This object is populated through builders and converted into the approriate access node API call. See the interaction object here. A 'partial' interaction is an interaction object that does not have sufficient information to the intended on-chain action. Multiple partial interactions (through builders) can be coupled to create a complete interaction.

Transaction Statuses
The status of a transaction will depend on the Flow blockchain network and which phase it is in as it completes and is finalized.
Status Code | Description |
---|---|
0 | Unknown |
1 | Transaction Pending - Awaiting Finalization |
2 | Transaction Finalized - Awaiting Execution |
3 | Transaction Executed - Awaiting Sealing |
4 | Transaction Sealed - Transaction Complete. At this point the transaction result has been committed to the blockchain. |
5 | Transaction Expired |

StreamConnection
A stream connection is an object for subscribing to generic data from any WebSocket data stream. This is the base type for all stream connections. Two channels, close
and error
, are always available, as they are used to signal the end of the stream and any errors that occur.
_20interface StreamConnection<ChannelMap extends { [name: string]: any }> {_20 // Subscribe to a channel_20 on<C extends keyof ChannelMap>(_20 channel: C,_20 listener: (data: ChannelMap[C]) => void,_20 ): this;_20 on(event: 'close', listener: () => void): this;_20 on(event: 'error', listener: (err: any) => void): this;_20_20 // Unsubscribe from a channel_20 off<C extends keyof ChannelMap>(_20 event: C,_20 listener: (data: ChannelMap[C]) => void,_20 ): this;_20 off(event: 'close', listener: () => void): this;_20 off(event: 'error', listener: (err: any) => void): this;_20_20 // Close the connection_20 close(): void;_20}
Usage
_13import { StreamConnection } from "@onflow/typedefs"_13_13const stream: StreamConnection = ..._13_13stream.on("close", () => {_13 // Handle close_13})_13_13stream.on("error", (err) => {_13 // Handle error_13})_13_13stream.close()
EventStream
An event stream is a stream connection that emits events and block heartbeats. Based on the connection parameters, heartbeats will be emitted at least as often as some fixed block height interval. It is a specific variant of a StreamConnection.
_10type EventStream = StreamConnection<{_10 events: Event[];_10 heartbeat: BlockHeartbeat;_10}>;
Usage
_14import { EventStream } from "@onflow/typedefs"_14_14const stream: EventStream = ..._14_14stream.on("events", (events) => {_14 // Handle events_14})_14_14stream.on("heartbeat", (heartbeat) => {_14 // Handle heartbeat_14})_14_14// Close the stream_14stream.close()
BlockHeartbeat
_10export interface BlockHeartbeat {_10 blockId: string;_10 blockHeight: number;_10 timestamp: string;_10}
Usage
_10import { BlockHeartbeat } from "@onflow/typedefs"_10_10const heartbeat: BlockHeartbeat = ...
SignatureObject
Signature objects are used to represent a signature for a particular message as well as the account and keyId which signed for this message.
Key | Value Type | Description |
---|---|---|
addr | Address | the address of the account which this signature has been generated for |
keyId | number | The index of the key to use during authorization. (Multiple keys on an account is possible). |
signature | string | a hexidecimal-encoded string representation of the generated signature |
