uncustomizable PORT #2028

Open coderSomya opened 7 months ago

The snaps can communicate to site, running mandatorily on PORT = 8000, and nothing else. How to ensure that we can run the app on some other port and still have access to the snap.

Hi, the template is configured to work with the dapp running on port 8000. If you want to connect the Snap to a dapp on a different port or a different URL, there is nothing in the Snap template that prevents that. What you have to do is implement a connect button for that dapp. Here is a doc explaining how to do it: https://docs.metamask.io/snaps/how-to/work-with-existing-snaps/

Basically, any dapp has to connect to the Snap in order to use the Snap's methods.

If you are trying to modify the port used by Gatsby in the template, you can modify this line: https://github.com/MetaMask/template-snap-monorepo/blob/main/packages/site/package.json#L14

to look like:

"start": "GATSBY_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 gatsby develop -p 4000"
