||
|
|
||
| - `providerName`: name of the provider to load the default options. currently `alby` (default) | ||
| - `nostrWalletConnectUrl`: full Nostr Wallet Connect URL as defined by the [spec](https://github.com/getAlby/nips/blob/master/47.md) | ||
| - `relayUrl`: URL of the Nostr relay to be used (e.g. wss://nostr-relay.getalby.com) | ||
| - `walletPubkey`: pubkey of the Nostr Wallet Connect app | ||
| - `secret`: secret key to sign the request event (if not available window.nostr will be used) | ||
| - `authorizationUrl`: URL to the NWC interface for the user to and the app connection | ||
|
|
||
| ### Quick start example | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| import { nwc } from "@getalby/sdk"; | ||
| const nwc = new nwc.NWCClient({ | ||
| nostrWalletConnectUrl: loadNWCUrl(), | ||
| }); // loadNWCUrl is some function to get the NWC URL from some (encrypted) storage | ||
|
|
||
| // now you can send payments by passing in the invoice in an object | ||
| const response = await nwc.payInvoice({ invoice }); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| That's it! Unlike WebLN, you don't even have to enable to connect to the relay. | ||

|
||
| ### NWCClient Functions | ||
|
|
||
| The `NWCClient` exposes all the methods listed in [NIP-47](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/47.md). You can check the usage of each method as listed in the [examples](https://github.com/getAlby/js-sdk/tree/master/examples/nwc/client). | ||
|
|
||
| Please note that although `NWCClient` supports all methods, the NWC connection URI might not have support for some. You can check what all methods are supported by the Wallet Service by using the `getWalletServiceInfo` method like this: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| import { nwc } from "@getalby/sdk"; | ||
| const nwc = new nwc.NWCClient({ | ||
| nostrWalletConnectUrl: loadNWCUrl(), | ||
| }); | ||
|
|
||
| const response = await nwc.getWalletServiceInfo(); | ||
|
|
||
| console.info(response); // { capabilities: ['pay_invoice', 'pay_keysend', 'get_balance', 'get_info', 'make_invoice', 'lookup_invoice', 'list_transactions', 'sign_message', 'notifications'], notifications: ['payment_sent', 'payment_received'] } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### `static withNewSecret()` | ||
|
|
||
| Initializes a new `NWCClient` instance but generates a new random secret. The pubkey of that secret then needs to be authorized by the user (this can be initiated by redirecting the user to the `getAuthorizationUrl()` URL or calling `initNWC()` to open an authorization popup). | ||
|
|
||
| ##### Example | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| const client = nwc.NWCClient.withNewSecret({ | ||
| authorizationUrl: "https://nwc.getalby.com/apps/new", | ||
| }); | ||
| await client.initNWC(); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### sendPayment(invice: string) | ||
|
|
||
| Takes a bolt11 invoice and calls the NWC `pay_invoice` function. | ||
| It returns a promise object that is resolved with an object with the preimage or is rejected with an error | ||
|
|
||
| ##### Example | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| const client = new nwc.NWCClient({ nostrWalletConnectUrl: loadNWCUrl() }); | ||
| const response = await client.payInvoice({ invoice }); | ||
| console.log(response); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### getNostrWalletConnectUrl() | ||
|
|
||
| Returns the `nostr+walletconnect://` URL which includes all the connection information (`walletPubkey`, `relayUrl`, `secret`) | ||
| This can be used to get and persist the string for later use. | ||
|
|
||
| #### initNWC({name: string}) | ||
|
|
||
| Opens a new window prompt with the `getAuthorizationUrl()` (the user's NWC UI) to ask the user to authorize the app connection. | ||
| The promise resolves when the connection is authorized and the popup sends a `nwc:success` message or rejects when the prompt is closed. | ||
| Pass a `name` to the NWC provider describing the application. | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| const client = nwc.NWCClient.withNewSecret(); | ||
| try { | ||
| await client.initNWC({ name: "ACME app" }); | ||
| } catch (e) { | ||
| console.warn("Prompt closed"); | ||
| } | ||
| let response; | ||
| try { | ||
| response = await client.payInvoice({ invoice }); | ||
| // if success then the response.preimage will be only | ||
| console.info(`payment successful, the preimage is ${response.preimage}`); | ||
| } catch (e) { | ||
| console.error(e.error || e); | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### For Node.js | ||
|
|
||
| To use this on Node.js you first must install `websocket-polyfill` and import it: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| import "websocket-polyfill"; | ||
| // or: require('websocket-polyfill'); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| if you get an `crypto is not defined` error, either upgrade to node.js 20 or above, or import it manually: | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| import * as crypto from 'crypto'; // or 'node:crypto' | ||
| globalThis.crypto = crypto as any; | ||
| //or: global.crypto = require('crypto'); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Examples | ||
|
|
||
| #### Use a custom, user provided Nostr Wallet Connect URL | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| import { nwc } from '@getalby/sdk'; | ||
|
|
||
| const client = new nwc.NWCClient({ nostrWalletConnectUrl: 'nostr+walletconnect://69effe7b49a6dd5cf525bd0905917a5005ffe480b58eeb8e861418cf3ae760d9?relay=wss://nostr.bitcoiner.social&secret=c60320b3ecb6c15557510d1518ef41194e9f9337c82621ddef3f979f668bfebd'); | ||
| const response = await client.payInvoice({ invoice }); | ||
| console.log(response.preimage); | ||
|
|
||
| client.close(); // close the websocket connection | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### Generate a new NWC connect url using a locally-generated secret | ||
|
|
||
| ```js | ||
| // same options can be provided to .withNewSecret() as creating a new NWCClient() | ||
| const client = nwc.NWCClient.withNewSecret(); | ||
|
|
||
| // use the `initNWC` helper which opens a popup to initiate the connection flow. | ||
| // the promise resolves once the NWC app returned. | ||
| await client.initNWC({ | ||
| name: `My app name`, | ||
| }); | ||
|
|
||
| // ... enable and send a payment | ||
|
|
||
| // if you want to get the connect url with the secret: | ||
| // const nostrWalletConnectUrl = client.getNostrWalletConnectUrl(true) | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ##### NWC Authorization URL Options | ||
|
|
||
| initNWC accepts the following parameters while creating an app | ||
|
|
||
| - `name`: name of the app | ||
| - `requestMethods`: NIP-47 request methods required by the app connection | ||
| - `returnTo`: string; | ||
| - `expiresAt`: app expiration in epoch seconds; | ||
| - `maxAmount`: max budget if the app requires `pay_invoice`; | ||
| - `budgetRenewal`: renewal of the budget amount if the app requires `pay_invoice`; | ||
|

| ### NostrWebLNProvider (aliased as NWC) | ||
|
|
||
| The `NostrWebLNProvider` exposes the [WebLN](webln.guide/) interface to execute lightning wallet functionality through Nostr Wallet Connect, such as sending payments, making invoices and getting the node balance. | ||
|
|
||
| (Note: in the future more WebLN functions will be added to Nostr Wallet Connect) | ||
|
|
||
| ### NostrWebLNProvider (aliased as NWC) Options | ||
| ### Options | ||
|
|
||
| - `providerName`: name of the provider to load the default options. currently `alby` (default) | ||
| - `nostrWalletConnectUrl`: full Nostr Wallet Connect URL as defined by the [spec](https://github.com/getAlby/nips/blob/master/47.md) | ||
