# createSessionClient

> Function to create a new SessionClient without an existing AbstractClient.

The `createSessionClient` function creates a new `SessionClient` instance directly, without requiring an existing [AbstractClient](/abstract-global-wallet/agw-client/createAbstractClient).
If you have an existing [AbstractClient](/abstract-global-wallet/agw-client/createAbstractClient), use the [toSessionClient](/abstract-global-wallet/agw-client/session-keys/toSessionClient) method instead.

## Usage

<CodeGroup>
  ```tsx example.ts theme={null}
  import { createSessionClient } from "@abstract-foundation/agw-client/sessions";
  import { abstractTestnet } from "viem/chains";
  import { http, parseAbi } from "viem";
  import { privateKeyToAccount, generatePrivateKey } from "viem/accounts";

  // The session signer (from createSession)
  const sessionPrivateKey = generatePrivateKey();
  const sessionSigner = privateKeyToAccount(sessionPrivateKey);

  // Create a session client directly
  const sessionClient = createSessionClient({
    account: "0x1234...", // The Abstract Global Wallet address
    chain: abstractTestnet,
    signer: sessionSigner,
    session: {
      // ... See createSession docs for session configuration options
    },
    transport: http(), // Optional - defaults to http()
  });

  // Use the session client to make transactions
  const hash = await sessionClient.writeContract({
    address: "0xC4822AbB9F05646A9Ce44EFa6dDcda0Bf45595AA",
    abi: parseAbi(["function mint(address,uint256) external"]),
    functionName: "mint",
    args: [address, BigInt(1)],
  });
  ```
