Alternatives of @xmtp/frames-client and @xmtp/frames-validator

Mohit_J · April 4, 2025, 10:29am

Hey everyone, i was using @xmtp/frames-client and @xmtp/frames-validator packages to render frames in my xmtp client application. But now these packages have been deprecated. Are there any alternatives of these packages which i can use to render frames?
Any resources for the same would also be appreciated.

Hey @Mohit_J you are correct. Those packages were for the Framesv1 spec.

Going into FramesV2, now called mini-apps there is no need for extra packages since they are basically web apps.

For creating frames on web we have the browser-sdk. Here is an example for you to get started!

## XMTP in a Farcaster Framesv2 With this frame I recreated a simpler version o…f xmtp.chat on a farcaster frame v2, to showcase the functionalities of xmtp on a frame context enabled environment (eg farcaster,...). ![screenshot](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bfaf809a-90a8-4211-8b4d-68a813fde812) ## Features If the user is seeing this from a Farcaster context, it automatically connects the user with the farcaster default wallet, else it automatically connects to the browser injected wallet. - See a list of your XMTP conversations - Join (semi)automatically a predefined conversation, the private_keys of the user who created the group conversation is the one used in the apis to add new members in the group - Chat with your friends - Search and invite other Farcaster users easily, sending them a farcaster direct message with farcaster intents ## Developer experience To have a better DX I made a wrote a detailed README where I focused on how you can debug the frame: - Using the official Warpcast developer frame tool, creating a localtunnel from your machine to warpcast - Frames.js local debugger, fully local debugger - Using ngrok to try it from your smartphone - Using Cloudflare tunnels, as a ngrok alternative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw6bDNDt-AM Made by [builders-garden](https://builders.garden)

Would appreciate any feedback or improvements!

Hey @Fabrizio_Guespe , Thanks for replying.
The resource you provided gives an example of creating a xmtp chat application inside a farcaster frame. But in my case, i want to render farcaster frame inside a xmtp chat application.
Could you please provide any resources for it?

Hey! Yes we have an example here GitHub - ephemeraHQ/xmtp-mini-app: xmtp-mini-app

Those examples were for Frames v1
