Cashu TS

code coverage

⚠️ Don't be reckless: This project is in early development, it does however work with real sats! Always use amounts you don't mind losing.

Cashu TS is a JavaScript library for Cashu wallets written in Typescript.

Wallet Features:

• connect to mint (load keys)
• request minting tokens
• minting tokens
• sending tokens (get encoded token for chosen value)
• receiving tokens
• melting tokens
• check if tokens are spent
• ...

Implemented NUTs:

• NUT-00
• NUT-01
• NUT-02
• NUT-03
• NUT-04
• NUT-05
• NUT-06
• NUT-07
• NUT-08
• NUT-09
• NUT-11

Supported token formats:

• v1 read
• v2 read (deprecated)
• v3 read/write
• v4 read/write

Usage

Go to the docs for detailed usage, or have a look at the integration tests for examples on how to implement a wallet.

Install

Examples

Mint tokens

import { CashuMint, CashuWallet, MintQuoteState } from '@cashu/cashu-ts';
const mintUrl = 'http://localhost:3338'; // the mint URL
const mint = new CashuMint(mintUrl);
const wallet = new CashuWallet(mint);
const mintQuote = await wallet.createMintQuote(64);
// pay the invoice here before you continue...
const mintQuoteChecked = await wallet.checkMintQuote(mintQuote.quote);
if (mintQuoteChecked.state == MintQuoteState.PAID) {
    const { proofs } = await wallet.mintTokens(64, mintQuote.quote);
}
Copy

Melt tokens

import { CashuMint, CashuWallet } from '@cashu/cashu-ts';
const mintUrl = 'http://localhost:3338'; // the mint URL
const mint = new CashuMint(mintUrl);
const wallet = new CashuWallet(mint);

const invoice = 'lnbc......'; // Lightning invoice to pay
const meltQuote = await wallet.createMeltQuote(invoice);
const amountToSend = meltQuote.amount + meltQuote.fee_reserve;

// in a real wallet, we would coin select the correct amount of proofs from the wallet's storage
// instead of that, here we swap `proofs` with the mint to get the correct amount of proofs
const { returnChange: proofsToKeep, send: proofsToSend } = await wallet.send(amountToSend, proofs);
// store proofsToKeep in wallet ..

const meltResponse = await wallet.meltTokens(meltQuote, proofsToSend);
// store meltResponse.change in wallet ..
