bolt11

A lightweight and naïve library for decoding lightning network payment requests as defined in BOLT #11.

It doesn't recover payee from signature, doesn't check signature, doesn't parse fallback addresses and doesn't do any encoding -- therefore dependencies are very minimal (no libsecp256k1 here).

Code derived from bolt11, which has the full functionality but it's a pain to run in browsers.

Installation

yarn add light-bolt11-decoder

Example Output from require('light-bolt11-decoder').decode("lnbc...")
