Overview

What you can do with this library:

Encode and decode lnurl strings
Create signed URLs to be used with an lnurl server that supports offline signing - e.g lnurl-node.

Current state of lnurl subprotocol implementation:

lnurl-withdraw
lnurl-pay
lnurl-channel
lnurl-auth

Requirements

If you only want to use the library in your own platformio project, then you only need the following:

PlatformIO Core (CLI)

The following are needed if you want to run this project's tests or to re-generate the test runner file(s):

make
nodejs
- On Linux and Mac install node via nvm

Installation

To add the lnurl library to your project:

platformio lib install chill1/lnurl

Usage

Encode:

#include <lnurl.h>
#include <iostream> // for std::cout

const std::string input = "https://service.com/api?q=3fc3645b439ce8e7f2553a69e5267081d96dcd340693afabe04be7b0ccd178df";
const std::string output = Lnurl::encode(input);

// Print the result.
std::cout << output << std::endl;

Decode:

#include <lnurl.h>
#include <iostream> // for std::cout

const std::string input = "lnurl1dp68gurn8ghj7um9wfmxjcm99e3k7mf0v9cxj0m385ekvcenxc6r2c35xvukxefcv5mkvv34x5ekzd3ev56nyd3hxqurzepexejxxepnxscrvwfnv9nxzcn9xq6xyefhvgcxxcmyxymnserxfq5fns";
const std::string output = Lnurl::decode(input);

// Print the result.
std::cout << output << std::endl;

Create signed (lnurl-withdraw) URL:

#include <lnurl.h>
#include <iostream> // for std::cout

// Prepare the config structure.
Lnurl::SignerConfig config;
config.apiKey.id = "5d4aeb462a";
config.apiKey.key = "ef9901bebc801518e7d862c2edaedd3acd86ec132fb3bd5ac0013c9a5ba478db";
config.apiKey.encoding = "hex";
config.callbackUrl = "https://localhost:3000/lnurl";
config.shorten = true;

// Prepare an instance of the signer class.
Lnurl::Signer signer(config);

// Prepare lnurl-withdraw parameters.
Lnurl::WithdrawParams params;
params.minWithdrawable = "50000";
params.maxWithdrawable = "50000";
params.defaultDescription = "";

// Optionally add your own custom parameters:
// params.custom["custom1"] = "custom parameter";
// params.custom["custom2"] = "another custom parameter";

// Generate a nonce.
// (Pseudo-)randomly generated number and a timestamp should be sufficient.
const std::string nonce = "this_should_be_unique_for_each_signed_url";

// Create the signed URL.
const std::string output = signer.create_url(params, nonce);

// Print the result.
std::cout << output << std::endl;

See the test or examples directories for more example usage.

Tests

To run the automated tests:

make test ENV=esp32dev DEVICE=/dev/ttyUSB0

It is necessary to connect a hardware device via USB.

Generated Tests

The tests relating to the Lnurl::Signer class are partially auto-generated using a script. The reasoning for this is to ensure compatibility with the lnurl-node project.

To re-generate the test runner file(s):

make generateTests
