LNRPC
Maintained fork of lnrpc adding support for generating typescript type definitions.
Features
- Auto-generates lnd/lnrpc client and typescript definitons based on target release tag
- Wraps requests in promises
- Easily setup SSL and Macaroons
- Instantiates all gRPC services
- uint64/int64 types cast to string
Installation
npm install @radartech/lnrpc
# OR
yarn add @radartech/lnrpc
Install lnd before using this project and ensure you have an lnd instance running with --no-macaroons
, unless you provide macaroon authentication to your lnrpc instance when created.
Change LND gRPC release version
To change the gRPC definitions used for all auto-generated types and RPC methods edit the config.lnd_release_tag
value in package.json
to the desired LND release tag and run the following:
npm run generate
# OR
yarn generate
Newly generated type definitions will be available in ./generated
.
Usage
Connecting to an lnd instance at localhost:10001
.
import createLnRpc, {
Invoice,
InvoiceSubscription,
WalletBalanceResponse
} from '@radartech/lnrpc';
(async function() {
const lnRpcClient = await createLnRpc();
// All requests are promisified and typed
const balanceResponse: WalletBalanceResponse = await lnRpcClient.walletBalance();
// ...and you're off!
console.log(balanceResponse.confirmedBalance);
// subscribe to LND server events
const subscriber = await lnRpcClient.subscribeInvoices(<InvoiceSubscription>{});
subscriber.on('data', (invoice: Invoice) => {
console.log(invoice); // do something with invoice
});
})();
Options
import createLnRpc from '@radartech/lnrpc';
(async function() {
const lnRcpCustom = await createLnRpc({
/*
By default lnrpc connects to `localhost:10001`,
however we can point to any host.
*/
server: '173.239.209.2:3001',
/*
By default lnrpc looks for your tls certificate at:
`~/.lnd/tls.cert`, unless it detects you're using macOS and
defaults to `~/Library/Application\ Support/Lnd/tls.cert`
however you can configure your own SSL certificate path like:
*/
tls: './path/to/tls.cert',
/*
You can also provide a TLS certificate directly as a string
(Just make sure you don't commit this to git).
Overwrites: `tls`
*/
cert: process.env.MY_SSL_CERT,
/*
Optional path to configure macaroon authentication
from LND generated macaroon file.
*/
macaroonPath: './path/to/data/admin.macaroon',
/*
Optional way to configure macaroon authentication by
passing a hex encoded string of your macaroon file
*/
macaroon: process.env.MY_MACAROON_HEX,
});
})();
