Is it possible for base account not to be generated each time? I wanted to use key/pair that I used for deploying the contract but it failed. What is the right way to do it if I want to persist data for the users?
I think there is a link in the article to make it happen but here is a possible solution.
In the src directory just make a file called createKeyPair.js and add this code:
// Shoutout to Nader Dabit for helping w/ this! // twitter.com/dabit3
const fs = require('fs') const anchor = require("@project-serum/anchor")
const account = anchor.web3.Keypair.generate()
fs.writeFileSync('./keypair.json', JSON.stringify(account))
Then inside your app run: node createKeyPair.js which should create a keypair.json (which is what holds the keypair for persistence)
Then in the App.js import the json file import kp from './keypair.json'
and then whereever in your App.js you are calling: let baseAccount = Keypair.generate();
Just replace with the following:
const arr = Object.values(kp._keypair.secretKey) const secret = new Uint8Array(arr) const baseAccount = web3.Keypair.fromSecretKey(secret)
That should be it. now it should be persistent on loading for anyone connected to your app.
