Create a companion dapp to provide a user interface for your account management Snap.
Call Keyring API methods from your companion dapp, enabling users to create and interact with custom
EVM accounts.

## Prerequisites

An [account management Snap](create-account-snap.md) set up.

## Steps

### 1. Install the Keyring API

Install the [`@metamask/keyring-api`](https://github.com/MetaMask/keyring-api) module in your
project directory using Yarn or npm:

```bash
yarn add @metamask/keyring-api
```

or

```bash
npm install @metamask/keyring-api
```

### 2. Create a KeyringSnapRpcClient

Create a `KeyringSnapRpcClient`:

```ts

let client = new KeyringSnapRpcClient(snapId, window.ethereum)
```

### 3. Call Account Management API methods

You can now use the `KeyringSnapRpcClient` to invoke
[Account Management API](../../reference/keyring-api/account-management/index.md) methods on your Snap.

For example, to call [`keyring_listAccounts`](../../reference/keyring-api/account-management/index.md#keyring_listaccounts):

```typescript
const accounts = await client.listAccounts()
```
