Examples

See the examples folder for various complete source code examples.

Using Vue Composables

This is the preferred approach for integrating with Plaid Link in Vue.

Note: token can be null initially and then set once you fetch or generate a link_token asynchronously.

ℹ️ See a full source code examples of using composables:

• examples/simple.vue: minimal example of using composables
• examples/composable.vue: example using composable with all available callbacks
• examples/oauth.vue: example handling OAuth with composable

<template>
  <button :disabled="!ready" @click="open">
    Connect a bank account
  </button>
</template>

<script lang="ts" setup>
import { usePlaidLink } from '@jcss/vue-plaid-link';

const { open, ready } = usePlaidLink({
  token: '<GENERATED_LINK_TOKEN>',
  onSuccess: (public_token, metadata) => {
    // send public_token to server
  },
});
</script>

Available Link configuration options

ℹ️ See src/types/index.ts for exported types.

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

usePlaidLink arguments

key	type
token	string | null
receivedRedirectUri	string | undefined
onSuccess	(public_token: string, metadata: PlaidLinkOnSuccessMetadata) => void
onExit	(error: PlaidLinkError | null, metadata: PlaidLinkOnExitMetadata) => void
onEvent	(eventName: PlaidLinkStableEvent | string, metadata: PlaidLinkOnEventMetadata) => void
onLoad	() => void

usePlaidLink return value

key	type
open	() => void
ready	boolean
error	ErrorEvent | null
exit	(options?: { force: boolean }, callback?: () => void) => void

Using the pre-built component instead of the usePlaidLink composable

If you cannot use Vue composables for some reason, you can use the PlaidLink component.

ℹ️ See full source code example at examples/component.vue

<template>
  <PlaidLink
    :token="token"
    :on-success="onSuccess"
    :on-event="onEvent"
  >
    Connect a wallet
  </PlaidLink>
</template>

<script lang="ts" setup>
import type { PlaidLinkOnEvent, PlaidLinkOnSuccess } from '@jcss/vue-plaid-link';
import PlaidLink from '@jcss/vue-plaid-link';

// ...
</script>
