Feature - expose multiple accounts to dapp

[vbaranov]

Is it possible to get the list of addresses from metamask chrome plugin into js?

I mean not accounts, that can be retrieved from RPC web3.eth.getAccounts(...).

But actually those addresses, which are listed in metamask plugin.

Are you not able to get the address associated with your Metamask?

[vbaranov]

I want to get the list of addresses from here:

and use this list in dapp to choose, for example, address that will be a sender of tx to contract.

Ok, what does you code look like?

[vbaranov]

function getWeb3(callback) {
  if (typeof window.web3 === 'undefined') {
    // no web3, use fallback
    console.error("Please use a web3 browser");
  } else {
    // window.web3 == web3 most of the time. Don't override the provided,
    // web3, just wrap it in your Web3.
    var myWeb3 = new Web3(window.web3.currentProvider); 

    // the default account doesn't seem to be persisted, copy it to our
    // new instance
    myWeb3.eth.defaultAccount = window.web3.eth.defaultAccount;

    callback(myWeb3);
  }
}

function startApp(web3) {
	//what should be here instead web3.eth.getAccounts to get the list of addresses from metamask plugin?
	web3.eth.getAccounts(function(error, accounts) {
		console.log(accounts);

		//further logic
	});
}


window.addEventListener('load', function() {
	getWeb3(startApp);
});

Are you able to get the account that is selected or none?

This is not currently supported by MetaMask, we only inject the selected account, so this is a feature request. I also think it's a duplicate, but can't check now.

@tmashuang @FlySwatter thanks, sorry, if this is duplicate. I didn't find an original issue. It would be a nice feature.

relevant as its an overhaul of how accounts are exposed to dapps #537
