# useName

The `useName` hook is used to get name from an onchain identity provider
for a given address.

It is implemented with [useQuery](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/reference/useQuery) from `@tanstack/react-query`, and returns a `UseQueryResult` object, allowing you to pass through all `@tanstack/react-query` options.

## Usage

Get ENS name from an address:

<CodeGroup>
  ```tsx code
  import { useName } from '@coinbase/onchainkit/identity';

  const address = '0x02feeb0AdE57b6adEEdE5A4EEea6Cf8c21BeB6B1';
  const { data: name, isLoading } = await useName({ address });
  ```

  ```ts return value
  { data: 'zizzamia.eth', isLoading: false }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Get Basename from an address:

<CodeGroup>
  ```tsx code
  import { useName } from '@coinbase/onchainkit/identity';
  import { base } from 'viem/chains';

  const address = '0x02feeb0AdE57b6adEEdE5A4EEea6Cf8c21BeB6B1';
  const { data: name, isLoading } = await useName({ address, chain: base });
  ```

  ```ts return value
  { data: 'zizzamia.base.eth', isLoading: false }
  ```
</CodeGroup>
