Type definitions for WebLN

WebLN may be implemented by a lightning browser extension (e.g. Alby) therefore WebLN can already be called directly from the browser if the user has the extension installed. This package simply adds type definitions to make it easier to integrate WebLN into web applications that are written in Typescript.

Quick Start

1. Install package

 npm install @webbtc/webln-types --save-dev # or yarn add @webbtc/webln-types --dev

1. Import "@webbtc/webln-types"

//import "@webbtc/webln-types"; // if you just want to use window.webln
import { GetInfoResponse } from "@webbtc/webln-types";
if (window.webln) {
  (async () => {
    await window.webln.enable();
    const info: GetInfoResponse = await window.webln.getInfo();
    console.log("Your node pubkey is", info.node.pubkey);
  })();
} else {
  console.warn("WebLN not enabled");
}
