Lightning Network Service

npm version

Overview

The core of this project is a gRPC interface for node.js projects, available through npm.

Supported LND versions:

  • v0.18.0-beta to v0.18.3-beta
  • v0.17.0-beta to v0.17.5-beta
  • v0.16.0-beta to v0.16.4-beta
  • v0.15.2-beta to v0.15.5-beta
  • v0.14.4-beta to v0.14.5-beta

For typescript-ready methods, check out https://github.com/alexbosworth/lightning#readme

Installing LND

There is a guide to installing LND on the LND repository: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md

Example LND configuration options (~/.lnd/lnd.conf)

[Application Options]
externalip=IP
rpclisten=0.0.0.0:10009

[Bitcoin]
bitcoin.active=1
bitcoin.mainnet=1
bitcoin.node=bitcoind

If you are interacting with your node remotely, make sure to set (in [Application Options])

tlsextradomain=YOURDOMAIN

If you're adding TLS settings, regenerate the cert and key by stopping lnd, deleting the tls.cert and tls.key - then restart lnd to regenerate.

If you're going to use extended gRPC APIs, make sure to add the APIs to make tags.

make && make install tags="autopilotrpc chainrpc invoicesrpc peersrpc routerrpc signrpc walletrpc watchtowerrpc wtclientrpc"

Using gRPC

You can install ln-service service via npm

npm install ln-service

To use authenticated methods you will need to provide LND credentials.

To export the credentials via a command, you can install balanceofsatoshis: npm install -g balanceofsatoshis and export via bos credentials --cleartext

Or you can export them manually:

Run base64 on the tls.cert and admin.macaroon files to get the encoded authentication data to create the LND connection. You can find these files in the LND directory. (~/.lnd or ~/Library/Application Support/Lnd)

base64 tls.cert
base64 data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/admin.macaroon

Be careful to avoid copying any newline characters in creds. To exclude them:

base64 -w0 ~/.lnd/tls.cert
base64 -w0 ~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/admin.macaroon

You can then use these to interact with your LND node directly:

const lnService = require('ln-service');

const {lnd} = lnService.authenticatedLndGrpc({
  cert: 'base64 encoded tls.cert',
  macaroon: 'base64 encoded admin.macaroon',
  socket: '127.0.0.1:10009',
});

// Callback syntax
lnService.getWalletInfo({lnd}, (err, result) => {
  const nodeKey = result.public_key;
});

// Promise syntax
const nodePublicKey = (await lnService.getWalletInfo({lnd})).public_key;

An unauthenticatedLndGrpc function is also available for unlocker methods.

Subscriptions

  • Besides the events listed in this documentation, all EventEmitter objects returned by any of the subscribeTo... methods also offer an error event. This event is triggered e.g. when LND is shut down. So, in order to detect and correctly handle such a situation, robust client code should generally also add a listener for the error event. For example, a function that will wait for and return the next forward but throw an exception when LND is either not reachable or shuts down while waiting for the forward would look something like this:

    const getNextForward = async (lnd) => {
        const emitter = subscribeToForwards({ lnd });
    
        try {
            return await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
                emitter.on("forward", resolve);
                // Without the following line, the function will never throw
                // when the connection is lost after calling subscribeToForwards
                emitter.on("error", reject);
            });
        } finally {
            emitter.removeAllListeners();
        }
    };
  • After the last listener has been removed from an EventEmitter object, the subscription is released and subsequent attempts to add a listener will result in an error. Call subscribeTo... again and add new listeners to the new EventEmitter object.
