Objective

The objective of this project is to develop a robust and versatile TypeScript library for Bitcoin SV (BSV) Paymail, aimed at enhancing the integration and functionality of Paymail in the BSV blockchain ecosystem. This library will focus on two primary components:

1. Server Development: Building a comprehensive server setup that supports service discovery and a variety of capabilities. It will include default functionalities like P2P Destinations, Receive Raw Transaction, Public Profile, and the flexibility for developers to incorporate additional custom capabilities.

2. Client Implementation: Creating client-side features to facilitate host and capability discovery in both Node.js and browser environments. This will involve developing methods for seamless interaction with the server's provided capabilities.

The project aims to streamline the process of integrating BSV Paymail into various applications, promoting broader adoption and utility within the BSV ecosystem.

Getting Started

npm install

npm install @bsv/paymail

Basic Usage

Paymail Server

import express from 'express'
import { PaymailRouter, PublicKeyInfrastructureRoute, PublicProfileRoute } from '@bsv/paymail'

const app = express()
const baseUrl = 'https://myDomain.com'

const publicProfileRoute = new PublicProfileRoute({
  domainLogicHandler: async (name, domain) => {
    const user = await fetchUser(name, domain)
    return {
      name: user.getAlias(),
      domain,
      avatar: user.getAvatarUrl()
    }
  }
})

const pkiRoute = new PublicKeyInfrastructureRoute({
  domainLogicHandler: async (name, domain) => {
    const user = await fetchUser(name, domain)
    return {
      bsvalias: '1.0',
      handle: `${name}@${domain}`,
      pubkey: user.getIdentityKey()
    }
  }
})

const routes = [publicProfileRoute, pkiRoute]
const paymailRouter = new PaymailRouter({ baseUrl, routes })
app.use(paymailRouter.getRouter())

const PORT = 3000
app.listen(PORT, async () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on ${baseUrl}:${PORT}`)
})

Paymail Client

import { PaymailClient } from '@bsv/paymail'

const client = new PaymailClient();

(async () => {
  const publicProfile = await client.getPublicProfile('[email protected]')
  console.log(publicProfile)
})()

Documentation

The SDK is richly documented with code-level annotations. This should show up well within editors like VSCode. For complete API docs, check out the docs folder
