Upcoming — generated from the latest merged element source; documents unreleased development. Use the channel picker at the top of the sidebar for the docs of a published release.
In development — not yet part of a stable release. Belongs to the Wallet group. Render <CardsElement /> inside it (React), or call wallet.create('cards', { … }) on the handle (vanilla) — consumer props and on<Event> callbacks both go in the create options / JSX props.

Preview

A live, interactive demo of this element with sample data:

Usage

Props

string
A scoped token for the privileged read — needs payout:account:read. Mint it on your server with POST /v1/access_tokens. Omitted, the read carries the viewer’s own session, which only answers same-origin.
boolean
Off, the element fetches nothing and keeps the title and ”+” button visible with an empty body — for a host that only wants to fetch once some precondition (card issuing being active for this account, say) is true. Defaults to true.
number | null
Cap the rows shown, most recently issued first. null shows every active card. Defaults to null.
boolean
Render the title as plain, unclickable text instead of a click target. Off by default, in which case clicking the title emits viewAllSelected for you to route to the full cards list — the element never navigates. Defaults to false.
boolean
Hide the ”+” button. Off by default, in which case clicking it emits addCardRequested. Defaults to false.

Events

Pass a callback in the create options (or React prop) to receive these.

onCardSelected

A card row was clicked. Open your own card details for it — the element never navigates. Signature: ((payload: { cardId: string; }) => void)

onViewAllSelected

The title was clicked. Only fires when disableRedirect is false. Signature: ((payload: Record<string, never>) => void)

onAddCardRequested

The ”+” button was clicked. Only fires when hideAddButton is false. Signature: ((payload: Record<string, never>) => void)

onLoaderStart

Fired the moment the element’s own loading skeleton has painted inside its frame — the earliest point a consumer-managed loading state can hand off without ever exposing a blank. Always precedes onReady; most consumers only need onReady. Signature: (() => void)

onReady

Fired once the element has booted and painted its first complete frame. Signature: (() => void)

onError

Fired when the element fails to load or crashes; the element shows its own error fallback. message is human-readable; framework refusals also carry code (e.g. HOST_SOURCE_FAILED, with sourceKey naming the failed hostState key) so hosts can switch on codes, never message text. Signature: ((e: { message: string; code?: string | undefined; sourceKey?: string | undefined; }) => void)

Methods

Call these on the element handle — the return of create (vanilla) or the component ref (React).

refresh

Re-fetch the account’s cards. Call it after a mutation made elsewhere (rename, freeze, cancel, a new card) so the list reflects it without waiting for the cache to expire. Signature: () => Promise<void>

mount

Place the element on the page: appends its container to target (a CSS selector or an element) and starts loading. Nothing renders until this is called. React consumers never call it — the component mounts itself. Signature: (target: string | HTMLElement) => void

destroy

Remove the element from the page and release its frame and subscriptions. Safe to call more than once. React consumers never call it — unmounting the component does it. Signature: () => void

update

Change this element’s consumer props after mount — it re-renders with the merged props. React consumers never call it — updating the JSX props does the same. Signature: (options: Partial<CardsElementProps>) => void

Styling

Each part below is a stable class name — safe to depend on. Restyle a part by mapping its class to a style declaration object under appearance.classes (properties camelCase or kebab-case, values as strings with units — the same shape as React’s style prop). The element renders in its own frame, so page stylesheets can’t reach it: these declarations are sanitized against a safe-property allowlist and injected inside the frame for you.
In React, pass the same object as the appearance prop on <Wallet>; appearance also applies globally at WhopElements({ appearance }).
