# `Mppx.create`

Creates a client-side payment handler. Returns a payment handler with a `fetch` function that automatically handles `402` Payment Required responses. By default, also polyfills `globalThis.fetch`.

## Usage

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

Mppx.create({
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
})

// Global fetch now handles 402 automatically
const res = await fetch('https://mpp.dev/api/ping/paid')
```

### Without polyfill

Set `polyfill: false` to get a scoped fetch without modifying the global:

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  polyfill: false, // [!code hl]
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
})

// Use the returned fetch // [!code hl]
const res = await mppx.fetch('https://mpp.dev/api/ping/paid') // [!code hl]
```

### Manual credential handling

For full control over the payment flow:

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  polyfill: false, // [!code hl]
  methods: [tempo()],
})

// [!code hl:start]
const response = await fetch('https://mpp.dev/api/ping/paid')

if (response.status === 402) {
  const credential = await mppx.createCredential(response, {
    account: privateKeyToAccount('0x...'),
  })

  const paidResponse = await fetch('https://mpp.dev/api/ping/paid', {
    headers: { Authorization: credential },
  })
}
// [!code hl:end]
```

## Return type

```ts
type Mppx = {
  /** Payment-aware fetch function that automatically handles 402 responses. */
  fetch: Fetch
  /** The original, unwrapped fetch — bypasses payment interception. */
  rawFetch: typeof globalThis.fetch
  /** The configured payment methods. */
  methods: readonly Method.Client[]
  /** The transport used. */
  transport: Transport
  /** Creates a credential from a payment-required response. */
  createCredential: (
    response: Response,
    context?: Context,
  ) => Promise<string>
}
```

### `rawFetch`

The original `fetch` function, before payment interception. Use `rawFetch` when you need to make requests that bypass the 402 handler—for example, probing a 402 endpoint for websocket auth tokens or calling APIs that return 402 for non-payment reasons.

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  polyfill: false,
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
})

// Bypass payment interception
const raw = await mppx.rawFetch('https://api.example.com/ws-auth') // [!code focus]
```

## Parameters

### fetch (optional)

* **Type:** `typeof globalThis.fetch`
* **Default:** `globalThis.fetch`

Custom fetch function to wrap.

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const customFetch = globalThis.fetch

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  fetch: customFetch, // [!code focus]
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
})
```

### methods

* **Type:** `readonly Method.Client[]`

Array of payment methods to use.

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  // [!code focus:start]
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
  // [!code focus:end]
})
```

### onChallenge (optional)

* **Type:** `(challenge: Challenge, helpers: { createCredential: (context?) => Promise<string> }) => Promise<string | undefined>`

Called when a `402` challenge is received, before credential creation. Return a credential string to use it directly, or `undefined` to fall back to the default credential flow.

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
  onChallenge: async (challenge, { createCredential }) => { // [!code focus:start]
    console.log('Challenge received:', challenge.method)
    return createCredential()
  }, // [!code focus:end]
})
```

### polyfill (optional)

* **Type:** `boolean`
* **Default:** `true`

Whether to polyfill `globalThis.fetch` with the payment-aware wrapper.

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  polyfill: false, // [!code focus]
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
})
```

### transport (optional)

* **Type:** `Transport`
* **Default:** `Transport.http()`

Transport to use for extracting challenges and attaching credentials.

```ts twoslash
import { Mppx, Transport, tempo } from 'mppx/client'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

const mppx = Mppx.create({
  methods: [tempo({ account })],
  transport: Transport.mcp(), // [!code focus]
})
```
