Web components to connect to a lightning wallet and power a website with WebLN
This project includes web components for connecting to Lightning Wallets and enabling WebLN. Websites only need to implement a single interface to connect with multiple wallets (WebLN), and users can connect from both desktop and mobile devices. These components work with pure HTML and all Javascript libraries frameworks such as React, Angular, Vue, Solid.js, etc.
npm install @getalby/lightning-wallet-connect
