Create your own widget using the configurator https://widget.cow.fi.

Demo

Install​

yarn add @cowprotocol/widget-lib
npm install @cowprotocol/widget-lib

Quick start​

import {createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams} from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

// HTML element where the widget will be rendered
const widgetContainer = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
  appCode: 'NAME-OF-YOU-APP', // Add here the name of your app. e.g. "Pig Swap"
  width: 600,
  height: 640,
  sell: {asset: 'DAI'},
  buy: {asset: 'USDC', amount: '0.1'}
}

createCowSwapWidget(widgetContainer, { params })

App key​

You must specify the appCode parameter when initializing the widget. This parameter is used to identify the source of orders.
The key must be a UTF8 string of up to 50 chars.
It will be a part of orders meta-data, see more in the CoW Protocol Docs.

Partner fee​

You may participate in the Partner Fee program to collect fee on trades executed by your users through the Widget by adding the following parameter to your Widget:

import {createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams} from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const widgetContainer = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
  partnerFee: {
      bps: 50, // 0.5%
      recipient: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000' // Fee destination address
  }
}

createCowSwapWidget(widgetContainer, { params })

Fee BPS​

The fee in basis points (BPS). One basis point is equivalent to 0.01% (1/100th of a percent).

note

The fee cannot exceed 1% (100 bps).

Recipient​

The recipient is the address to which the fee will be sent.

Make sure that the fee recipient address exists on the respective network defined in the parameters. For example, if you use a Safe as a recipient and the Safe was created on Ethereum mainnet, then for Gnosis Chain you must create another Safe and set it as a fee recipient.

As a fee recipient, you can specify either string or a key-value pair in the format chainId: recipientAddress:

import type {SupportedChainId} from '@cowprotocol/cow-sdk'
import type {CowSwapWidgetParams} from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
  partnerFee: {
      bps: 50, // 0.5%
      recipient: {
          1: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001',
          100: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002'
      }
  }
}

Once you have set up the partner fee, you will see the fee in the CoW Swap UI:

Partner fee

Terms and conditions apply.

See here for detailed info about fee calculation and examples.

Wallet provider​

You can pass the wallet provider from your application to seamlessly use the widget as part of your application. Also, you can not specify the provider, in this case the widget will work in standalone mode with the ability to connect any wallet supported in CoW Swap.

A provider must comply with EIP-1193 and implement the interface:

interface EthereumProvider {
  on(event: string, args: unknown): void

  request<T>(params: JsonRpcRequest): Promise<T>

  enable(): Promise<void>
}

interface JsonRpcRequest {
  id: number
  method: string
  params: unknown[]
}

An example of connecting a widget to Rabby Wallet or Metamask:

import {createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams} from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

createCowSwapWidget(
  document.getElementById('cowswap-widget'),
  {
    params: { appCode: 'NAME-OF-YOU-APP' }, // Add here the name of your app. e.g. "Pig Swap"
    provider: window.ethereum // <-------
  }
)

Custom theme​

By setting custom colors you can very flexibly control the appearance of the widget.
To do this, you need to pass an object of type CowSwapWidgetPalette to the theme parameter.

You actually can specify only 2 or 3 basic colors, the rest of the palette is efficiently derived (also with the help of the color2k library to get 'AA' rated text/background color contrasts).

Example:

import {createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams, CowSwapWidgetPalette} from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const widgetContainer = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

// Set custom colors
const theme: CowSwapWidgetPalette = {
    baseTheme: 'light',
    primary: '#00ff85',
    background: '#f7f7f7',
    paper: '#1a4435',
    text: '#ffffff',
    warning: '#ffb700',
    alert: '#b8ffb2',
    success: '#19ff64'
}
const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
  appCode: 'NAME-OF-YOU-APP', // Add here the name of your app. e.g. "Pig Swap"
  theme
}

createCowSwapWidget(widgetContainer, { params })

Try it yourself: https://widget.cow.fi.

Custom theme

Custom tokens​

CowSwap uses the token lists standard, which allows flexible and decentralized management of assets for trading.
You can manage the list of tokens in CoW Swap UI:

Tokens management

In the widget you have two options to add custom tokens:

  • using tokenLists parameter
  • using customTokens parameter

tokenLists​

In this parameter you can specify the URL or ENS address of the token list.

How to create and deploy your own token list you can find in the guide.

import { createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams } from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const container = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
    tokenLists: ['https://files.cow.fi/tokens/CowSwap.json']
}

createCowSwapWidget(container, {params})

customTokens​

If you want to use tokens that are not included in the default token lists, you can add them programmatically by passing an array of ERC-20 tokens info.

import { createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams, TokenInfo } from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const container = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

const customTokens: TokenInfo = [
    {
        "chainId": 1,
        "address": '0x69D29F1b0cC37d8d3B61583c99Ad0ab926142069',
        "name": 'ƎԀƎԀ',
        "decimals": 9,
        "symbol": 'ƎԀƎԀ',
        "logoURI": 'https://assets.coingecko.com/coins/images/31948/large/photo_2023-09-25_14-05-49.jpg?1696530754'
    },
    {
        "chainId": 1,
        "address": '0x9F9643209dCCe8D7399D7BF932354768069Ebc64',
        "name": 'Invest Club Global',
        "decimals": 18,
        "symbol": 'ICG',
        "logoURI": 'https://assets.coingecko.com/coins/images/34316/large/thatone_200%281%29.png?1704621005'
    }
]

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
    customTokens
}

createCowSwapWidget(container, {params})

Events handling​

The widget provides a bus of events that occur in the widget.
Using it, you can receive notifications, for example, when an order has been executed or when an approval transaction has been mined.

Separately, it is worth noting the ON_TOAST_MESSAGE event; it occurs every time any notification is displayed in CoW Swap. To avoid double display of notifications, enable the disableToastMessages option in the widget configurations.

A list of all possible events can be found in the source code on Github.

Events usage example​

import {createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams, CowEventListeners, CowEvents} from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
    appCode: 'YOUR_APP_ID'
}

const listeners: CowEventListeners = [
    {
        event: CowEvents.ON_TOAST_MESSAGE,
        handler: (event) => console.log('[ON_TOAST_MESSAGE]', event.message)
    },
    {
        event: CowEvents.ON_EXPIRED_ORDER,
        handler: (event) => console.log('Order was expired:', event.order)
    },
]

const { updateListeners } = createCowSwapWidget(container, { params, listeners })

// If you want to change listeners at some point, you can do it like:
updateListeners([{
    event: CowEvents.ON_CANCELLED_ORDER,
    handler: (event) => console.log('Order was cancelled:', event.order)
}])

Widget updating​

You can change all possible widget options on the fly:

import {createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams} from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const container = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
  appCode: 'NAME-OF-YOU-APP', // Add here the name of your app. e.g. "Pig Swap"
  logoUrl: 'YOUR_LOGO_URL'
}

const updateWidget = createCowSwapWidget(container, { params })

// Update the widget
updateWidget({
  ...params,
  theme: 'dark', // <- Change theme to dark
  hideNetworkSelector: true // <- Hide the network selector
})

Widget URL​

Most of the widget parameters are controlled via the URL, which means that you can create the URL yourself and embed the iframe. An example of URL:

https://swap.cow.fi/#/100/swap/WXDAI/GNO?sellAmount=200&theme=dark

Customization​

Sounds​

import { createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams } from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const container = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
    sounds: {
        // The sound that will be played when the order is placed
        postOrder: 'https://swap.cow.fi/audio/send-winterTheme.mp3',
        // Nothing will be played when the order is executed
        orderExecuted: null,
        // Since `orderError` is not specified, the default sound will be played
    }
}

createCowSwapWidget(container, {params})

Images​

In the example below, we replace the image that is displayed when there are no orders in the limit orders table.
You can replace any image in the widget in the same way.

import { createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams } from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const container = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
    images: {
        emptyOrders: 'https://cow.fi/images/cowamm-illustration-lvr.svg'
    }
}

createCowSwapWidget(container, {params})

Custom image

Banners​

In some cases, you may want to hide some banners in the CoW Swap interface.
To do this, you need to specify the banners parameter in the widget configuration.

import { createCowSwapWidget, CowSwapWidgetParams } from '@cowprotocol/widget-lib'

const container = document.getElementById('cowswap-widget')

const params: CowSwapWidgetParams = {
    banners: {
        hideSafeWebAppBanner: true
    }
}

createCowSwapWidget(container, {params})

This banner will be hidden:
