- On-chain interoperability
- Complete LNURL functionality
- Multi-app support
- Multi-device support
- Real-time state backup
- Keys are only held by users
- USDT and multi-asset support on Liquid
- Built-in fiat on-ramp
- Free open-source solution
Getting Started
npm install @breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid
or
yarn add @breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid
Usage
Head over to the Breez SDK - Nodeless (Liquid Implementation) documentation to start implementing Lightning in your app.
You'll need an API key to use the Breez SDK - Nodeless (Liquid Implementation). To request an API key is free — you just need to complete this simple form.
Web
When developing a browser application you should import @breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid (or the explicit @breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid/web submodule).
It's important to first initialise the WebAssembly module by using await init() before making any other calls to the module.
import init, {
connect,
defaultConfig,
SdkEvent
} from '@breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid/web'
// Initialise the WebAssembly module
await init()
Node.js
When developing a node.js application you should require @breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid (or the explicit @breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid/node submodule).
const { connect, defaultConfig, initLogger } = require('@breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid/node')
const { Command } = require('commander')
require('dotenv').config()
class JsEventListener {
onEvent = (event) => {
console.log(`EVENT RECEIVED: ${JSON.stringify(event)}`)
}
}
const program = new Command()
const eventListener = new JsEventListener()
const initSdk = async () => {
// Set the logger to trace
initLogger('trace')
// Get the mnemonic
const breezApiKey = process.env.BREEZ_API_KEY
const mnemonic = process.env.MNEMONIC
// Connect using the config
const config = await defaultConfig('mainnet', breezApiKey)
console.log(`defaultConfig: ${JSON.stringify(config)}`)
const sdk = await connect({ config, mnemonic })
console.log(`connect`)
const listenerId = await sdk.addEventListener(eventListener)
console.log(`addEventListener: ${listenerId}`)
return sdk
}
program.name('nodeless-wasm-cli').description('CLI for Breez SDK - Nodeless Wasm')
program.command('get-info').action(async () => {
let sdk = await initSdk()
let getInfoRes = await sdk.getInfo()
console.log(`getInfo: ${JSON.stringify(getInfoRes)}`)
})
program.parse()
Deno
When developing a Deno application you should import @breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid (or the explicit @breeztech/breez-sdk-liquid/deno submodule).
Troubleshooting
- Node.js version 19 is the first version to add
global.crypto. When using less than version 19 this has to be polyfilled.
