# useSignTransaction

Composable to sign a Solana transaction using the connected wallet from Web3Auth.

### Import[​](#import "Direct link to Import")

```
import { useSignTransaction } from '@web3auth/modal/vue/solana'

```

### Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")

```
<script setup lang="ts">
  import { ref } from 'vue'
  import { useSignTransaction } from '@web3auth/modal/vue/solana'
  import type { Transaction } from '@solana/kit'

  const transaction = ref<Transaction | null>(null) // Your transaction object
  const { signTransaction, loading, error, data } = useSignTransaction()

  const handleSign = async () => {
    if (!transaction.value) return
    try {
      await signTransaction(transaction.value)
      // Do something with data.value (signed transaction)
    } catch (e) {
      // Handle error
    }
  }
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <button @click="handleSign" :disabled="loading">
      {{ loading ? "Signing..." : "Sign Transaction" }}
    </button>
    <div v-if="error">Error: {{ error.message }}</div>
    <div v-if="data">Signed Transaction: {{ data }}</div>
  </div>
</template>

```

### Return type[​](#return-type "Direct link to Return type")

```
export type IUseSignTransaction = {
  loading: Ref<boolean>
  error: Ref<Web3AuthError | null>
  data: Ref<string | null>
  signTransaction: (transaction: TransactionOrVersionedTransaction) => Promise<string>
}

```

#### `loading`[​](#loading "Direct link to loading")

`Ref<boolean>`

Indicates if the transaction signing is in progress.

#### `error`[​](#error "Direct link to error")

`Ref<Web3AuthError | null>`

Error object if signing fails, otherwise null.

#### `data`[​](#data "Direct link to data")

`Ref<string | null>`

The signed transaction as a string, or null if not signed yet.

#### `signTransaction`[​](#signtransaction "Direct link to signtransaction")

`(transaction: TransactionOrVersionedTransaction) => Promise<string>`

Function to sign a Solana transaction. Returns the signed transaction as a string.
