The `useStellarSigner` hook provides a Stellar signer for a Para wallet.

## Import

```tsx theme={null}
import { useStellarSigner } from "@getpara/react-sdk/stellar";
```

## Usage

```tsx theme={null}
import { useStellarSigner } from "@getpara/react-sdk/stellar";
import { Networks, TransactionBuilder, Operation, Asset, BASE_FEE, Horizon } from "@stellar/stellar-sdk";

const server = new Horizon.Server("https://horizon.stellar.org");

function StellarSigner() {
  const { stellarSigner, isLoading } = useStellarSigner({
    networkPassphrase: Networks.PUBLIC,
  });

  const handleSign = async () => {
    if (!stellarSigner) {
      return;
    }

    const account = await server.loadAccount(stellarSigner.address);

    const transaction = new TransactionBuilder(account, {
      fee: BASE_FEE,
      networkPassphrase: Networks.PUBLIC,
    })
      .addOperation(
        Operation.payment({
          destination: "GRECIPI...",
          asset: Asset.native(),
          amount: "10",
        })
      )
      .setTimeout(180)
      .build();

    const { signedTxXdr } = await stellarSigner.signTransaction(transaction.toXDR());
    console.log("Signed XDR:", signedTxXdr);
  };

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading Stellar signer...</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Address: {stellarSigner?.address}</p>
      <button onClick={handleSign}>Sign Transaction</button>
    </div>
  );
}
```

<MethodDocs
  defaultExpanded={true}
  preventCollapse={true}
  name="useStellarSigner()"
  description="Hook to retrieve a Stellar signer for Para Stellar wallets."
  parameters={[
{ name: "walletId", type: "string", optional: true, description: "Specific wallet ID to use. Defaults to selected or first Stellar wallet." },
{ name: "networkPassphrase", type: "string", optional: true, description: "Stellar network passphrase. Defaults to Networks.PUBLIC." }
]}
  returns={{ type: "{ stellarSigner: ParaStellarSigner | null, isLoading: boolean }", description: "The Stellar signer (or null) and loading status." }}
/>

## Network Passphrase Override

The `signTransaction` method accepts an optional second argument to override the network passphrase per-call. This is
useful when signing transactions for a different network than the one configured in the hook:

```typescript theme={null}
// Override passphrase for a single call
const { signedTxXdr } = await stellarSigner.signTransaction(transaction.toXDR(), {
  networkPassphrase: Networks.TESTNET,
});
```

This matches the Stellar SDK's `contract.SignTransaction` interface, making `ParaStellarSigner` directly compatible
with `contract.Client`.

## Return Type

The hook returns a `UseStellarSignerReturn` object with the following properties:

<MethodDocs
  name="stellarSigner"
  description="Stellar Signer object or null if there is no valid wallet on the Para instance"
  returns={{
type: "ParaStellarSigner | null",
description:
  "ParaStellarSigner instance for the Para wallet. Implements Stellar SDK's `contract.SignTransaction` and `contract.SignAuthEntry` interfaces. Properties: `address` (Stellar G-address). Methods: `signTransaction(xdr, opts?)` where `opts.networkPassphrase` overrides the constructor default, `signAuthEntry(authEntry, opts?)`, `signTransactionXDR(xdr, networkPassphrase)`, `signBytes(bytes)`.",
}}
/>

<MethodDocs
  name="isLoading"
  description="Loading state of the Stellar signer"
  returns={{
type: "boolean",
}}
/>
