Using React hooks

This is the new and preferred approach for integrating with Plaid Link in React.

import React, { useCallback } from 'react';
import { usePlaidLink } from 'react-plaid-link';

const App = () => {
  const onSuccess = useCallback((token, metadata) => {
    // send token to server
  }, []);

  const config = {
    token: '<GENERATED_LINK_TOKEN>',
    onSuccess,
    // ...
  };

  const { open, ready, error } = usePlaidLink(config);

  return (
    <MyButton onClick={() => open()} disabled={!ready}>
      Connect a bank account
    </MyButton>
  );
};
export default App;

Using a React component

import React from 'react';
import { PlaidLink } from 'react-plaid-link';

const App = props => {
  const onSuccess = (token, metadata) => {
    // send token to server
  };

  return (
    <PlaidLink
      token="<GENERATED_LINK_TOKEN>"
      onSuccess={onSuccess}
      {...}
    >
      Connect a bank account
    </PlaidLink>
  );
};
export default App;

All available Link configuration options

Please refer to the official Plaid Link docs for a more holistic understanding of the various Link options and the link_token.

// src/types/index.ts
interface PlaidLinkOptionsWithLinkToken = {
  token: string;
  onSuccess: Function;
  onExit?: Function;
  onLoad?: Function;
  onEvent?: Function;
  receivedRedirectUri?: string;
}

type PlaidLinkOptions = PlaidLinkOptionsWithLinkToken;
