# bolt11-decode
A lightweight and naïve library for decoding lightning network payment requests as defined in [BOLT #11](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/11-payment-encoding.md).

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](https://npmjs.com/package/bolt11), which has the full functionality but it's a pain to run in browsers.

## Installation

```shell
npm i @gandlaf21/bolt11-decode
```
###  Usage

```javascript
import { decode } from "@gandlaf21/bolt11-decode";

decode('{invoice}', 'optional: network')

```

Output example:

```json
