useSigner

Hook for accessing the current Alchemy signer within a React component. It uses a synchronous external store for updates. This is a good use case if you want to use the signer as an EOA, giving you direct access to it. The signer returned from useSigner just does a personal_sign or eth_signTypedData without any additional logic, but a smart contract account might have additional logic for creating signatures for 1271 validation so useSignMessage or useSignTypeData instead.
