Lesson 10 : useMoralis() MoralisProvider configuration settings

[tsuccar]

1. In the context of Chapter 10 UI lessons, what does initializeOnMount={false} refer to as far as manually initializing ? Is "Manual" the act of bringing up the Metamask wallet by clicking on it ?

https://github.com/MoralisWeb3/react-moralis#usemoralis

<MoralisProvider
  initializeOnMount={false}
>
  <App />
</MoralisProvider>

2. if we were to initialize automatically, what would be the value of appId & serverUrl be below , in our Chapter 10 use case?
   appId = ???, serverUrl="http://127.0.0.1:8545" ?

  <MoralisProvider 
    appId="xxxxxxxx"
    serverUrl="xxxxxxxx"
  >
    <App />
  </MoralisProvider>

Hi @tsuccar

1. no, it's not the act to bring metamask popup. Initialization means allowing you to use all the hooks and methods and utils provided by Moralis

2. `these IDs are coming from Moralis dashboard, when you create app server on Moralis, these both are there

It is all stated in detail and clearly, please give it a once more read at docs. I am sure you will understand completely 😃

Thank you but believe me, I have only come here only after scouring the internet. I think I got the answer to, I understand now that appId & serverUrl come from Moralis dashboard, It's authentication to their service.great. curious, what service we get after initialization form Morals. Patrick introduced that Moralis is an alternative to 'ethers'. so now, I'm curious what services we get through initialization that we didn't get from ethers.

as far as your comment "

you're making an assumption that somehow I just ran off to ask question here without my homework. That's not the case, and your assumption is rather accusatory.

I even pasted the link https://github.com/MoralisWeb3/react-moralis#usemoralis that I was reading. The help appreciated here is "clarification or aspects missed to consider" not "do my homework". what is the point of asking questions here if you're irritated by any the question ?

The course is great but the poor thing that happened to the course is, there is very lil theoretical explanation of every stuff which make things confusing and Patrick moved a lil faster.

btw: Moralis is not the alternate of ethers.js. Moralis is just to save data from the blockchain to external db like Moralis, so that we don't have to pay much gas fee on blockchain for every GET request.

Ethers.js is a library aims to be a complete and compact library for interacting with the Ethereum Blockchain and its ecosystem by using JS.

@tsuccar Hey! Let me clear your queries;

ethers and moralis are not the same thing, ethers just create easy methods and other functionality with that we can easily interact with blockchains, on the other hand, moralis is a database (not just a database do other stuff as well but here we are going to discuss just our use case) that has an ability to listen for our smart contract events and can store that events data into a database.

This initializeOnMount refers to that part, if we just want to use Moralis components and don't want to use their server for any use case then we should pass false in the prop, but we wanna use their server for let's say database, then we have to add our appId and serverId so the Moralis can know about our dapp.

Hope it is clear now!
