The useExportPrivateKey hook initiates a private key export for a given wallet. It returns a URL pointing to the Para portal where the key is displayed securely. Open this URL in a browser — never render the key directly in your app.

​
Import

import { useExportPrivateKey } from "@getpara/react-native-wallet";

​
Usage

import { useExportPrivateKey, useWallet } from "@getpara/react-native-wallet";
import { Alert, Linking } from "react-native";

function ExportKeyButton() {
  const { data: wallet } = useWallet();
  const { exportPrivateKeyAsync, isPending } = useExportPrivateKey();

  const handleExport = () => {
    Alert.alert(
      "Export Private Key",
      "Your private key grants full access to your wallet. Never share it with anyone.\n\nAre you sure?",
      [
        { text: "Cancel", style: "cancel" },
        {
          text: "Export",
          style: "destructive",
          onPress: async () => {
            if (!wallet?.id) return;
            try {
              const result = await exportPrivateKeyAsync({ walletId: wallet.id });
              if (result?.url) {
                await Linking.openURL(result.url);
              }
            } catch (err) {
              console.error(err);
            }
          },
        },
      ]
    );
  };

  return (
    <Button
      title={isPending ? "Exporting..." : "Export Private Key"}
      onPress={handleExport}
      disabled={isPending || !wallet?.id}
    />
  );
}
