# useTypink

## useTypink Hook

The `useTypink` hook is the main hook for accessing all Typink functionality in your React components. It provides access to network clients, wallet management, account information, and contract deployments.

### Overview

`useTypink` combines multiple contexts into a single convenient hook, giving you access to:

* Network connections and Dedot client instances
* Wallet connections and account management
* Contract deployment information
* Transaction signing capabilities

### Import & Basic Usage

```tsx
import { useTypink } from 'typink';

function MyComponent() {
  const {
    // Network & Client
    ready,
    client,
    network,

    // Wallet & Account
    connectedAccount,
    accounts,
    wallets,

    // Contract
    deployments,
  } = useTypink();

  // Your component logic
}
```
