Migrate Bridge To Common Connect WebUSB

This guide helps you migrate the legacy Bridge transport (hd-web-sdk + Bridge) to the native browser WebUSB channel, and switch the SDK entry point to @onekeyfe/hd-common-connect-sdk.

Requirements

  • Chromium browsers (Chrome/Edge desktop)

  • Node.js 18+ (LTS recommended)

What Changed (At a Glance)

  • SDK entry: @onekeyfe/hd-web-sdk → @onekeyfe/hd-common-connect-sdk

  • Init options: use env: 'webusb'; no more connectSrc (no iframe)

  • Permission flow: call navigator.usb.requestDevice() (must be triggered by a user gesture) with the official filter ONEKEY_WEBUSB_FILTER

  • Event system: use @onekeyfe/hd-core UI_EVENT / DEVICE events for user interaction (PIN/Passphrase, etc.)

  • Bridge‑specific logic removed: drop checkBridgeStatus() and all Bridge checks/prompts

  • Business APIs mostly unchanged: e.g., searchDevices / getFeatures / btcGetAddress

Install

npm i @onekeyfe/hd-common-connect-sdk @onekeyfe/hd-core @onekeyfe/hd-shared

Initialize (hd-common-connect-sdk + WebUSB)

import HardwareSDK from '@onekeyfe/hd-common-connect-sdk';

await HardwareSDK.init({
  env: 'webusb',
  debug: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
  fetchConfig: true,
});

  • Unlike hd-web-sdk, you do not need connectSrc here (no iframe dependency).

  • It is recommended to enable fetchConfig: true to fetch device capability and hint configurations.

Bind UI and Device Events (PIN / Passphrase / Plug-Unplug)

import { UI_EVENT, UI_REQUEST, UI_RESPONSE, DEVICE } from '@onekeyfe/hd-core';

function bindHardwareEvents() {
  HardwareSDK.on(UI_EVENT, async (message: any) => {
    switch (message.type) {
      case UI_REQUEST.REQUEST_PIN: {
        // In production, replace with your PIN input UI
        await HardwareSDK.uiResponse({
          type: UI_RESPONSE.RECEIVE_PIN,
          // Prefer entering PIN on the device (more secure)
          payload: '@@ONEKEY_INPUT_PIN_IN_DEVICE',
        });
        break;
      }

      case UI_REQUEST.REQUEST_PASSPHRASE: {
        // In production, replace with your Passphrase UI (device or software input)
        await HardwareSDK.uiResponse({
          type: UI_RESPONSE.RECEIVE_PASSPHRASE,
          payload: { passphraseOnDevice: true, value: '' },
        });
        break;
      }

      default:
        break;
    }
  });

  HardwareSDK.on(DEVICE.CONNECT, (payload: any) => {
    console.log('Device connected:', payload);
  });
  HardwareSDK.on(DEVICE.DISCONNECT, (payload: any) => {
    console.log('Device disconnected:', payload);
  });
}

bindHardwareEvents();

  • Subscribe to UI_EVENT as early as possible so PIN/Passphrase prompts are handled and flows don’t stall.

  • For details, see: Config Event

Authorization (WebUSB Picker + Official Filter)

import { ONEKEY_WEBUSB_FILTER } from '@onekeyfe/hd-shared';

// Important: must be triggered by a user gesture (e.g., button click) or the browser will block it
await navigator.usb.requestDevice({ filters: ONEKEY_WEBUSB_FILTER });

Enumerate Devices and First Call

// 1) Enumerate
const list = await HardwareSDK.searchDevices();
if (!list.success) throw new Error(list.payload.error);
const { connectId, deviceId } = list.payload[0] ?? {};

// 2) (Optional) Confirm device_id
const features = await HardwareSDK.getFeatures(connectId);
if (!features.success) throw new Error(features.payload.error);
const resolvedDeviceId = features.payload.device_id ?? deviceId;

// 3) Example: get a BTC address
const r = await HardwareSDK.btcGetAddress(connectId, resolvedDeviceId, {
  path: "m/44'/0'/0'/0/0",
  coin: 'btc',
  showOnOneKey: false,
});

if (r.success) {
  console.log('BTC address:', r.payload.address);
} else {
  console.error('Error:', r.payload.error, r.payload.code);
}

Cleanup and Checklist

  • Dependency swap: remove @onekeyfe/hd-web-sdk, use @onekeyfe/hd-common-connect-sdk instead

  • Initialization changes:

    • Old: env: 'web' + connectSrc: 'https://jssdk.onekey.so/.../'

    • New: env: 'webusb' (no connectSrc)

  • Remove Bridge‑only logic: e.g., checkBridgeStatus(), Bridge install/restart prompts

  • Bind UI_EVENT / DEVICE: ensure PIN/Passphrase and device plug/unplug events are handled

  • Don’t auto‑enumerate before permission: requestDevice() must be called via a user gesture

  • Compatibility tip: if navigator.usb is missing, ask users to switch to a WebUSB‑capable browser

FAQ

  • No permission prompt on HTTP? → Serve over HTTPS

  • UI requests seem stuck? → Subscribe to UI_EVENT early and respond via uiResponse

  • Still using connectSrc or HdWebSdk.HardwareWebSdk? → Migrated to hd-common-connect-sdk; iframe is no longer needed

  • Called requestDevice outside a user gesture? → Chrome blocks it; must be triggered by a click or similar gesture
