Overview
Breez SDK enables developers to integrate Lightning and bitcoin payments into their apps with a very shallow learning curve. The use cases are endless – from social apps that want to integrate tipping between users to content-creation apps interested in adding bitcoin monetization. Crucially, this SDK is an end-to-end, non-custodial, drop-in solution powered by Greenlight, a built-in LSP, on-chain interoperability, third-party fiat on-ramps, and other services users and operators need. Breez SDK is free for developers.
Breez SDK provides the following services:
- Sending payments (via various protocols such as: bolt11, keysend, lnurl-pay, lightning address, etc.)
- Receiving payments (via various protocols such as: bolt11, lnurl-withdraw, etc.)
- Fetching node status (e.g. balance, max allow to pay, max allow to receive, on-chain balance, etc.)
- Connecting to a new or existing node.
and many more! See Documentation.
Installation
To use this plugin, add breez_sdk as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.
Usage
To start using this package first import it in your Dart file.
import 'package:breez_sdk/breez_sdk.dart';It's recommended to use a single instance of BreezSDK() throughout your app. Assuming breezSDK variable in the example points to this instance:
Check whether Breez node services are initialized first by calling isInitialized() and then call initialize() to initialize Breez SDK's event & log streams, preferably on main.dart:
if (!await breezSDK.isInitialized()) {
breezSDK.initialize();
}Please refer to Dart examples on Breez SDK documentation for more information on features & capabilities of the Breez SDK.
