V4V (TypeScript)

A set of helper functions for dealing with value-for-value (V4V) calculations and transactions. The functionality is largely duplicated from the v4v Rust crate.

All items

v4v/calc

function computeSatRecipients(splits: number[], totalSats: number): number[];

type ShareBasedRecipient = {
  numShares: number;
};

type PercentageBasedRecipient = {
  percentage: number;
};

type Recipient = ShareBasedRecipient | PercentageBasedRecipient;

enum RecipientsToSplitsError

function feeRecipientsToSplits(
  recipients: Recipient[],
): number[] | RecipientsToSplitsError

v4v/sockets

type LiveUpdateBlock

function extractLiveUpdateBlock(data: any): LiveUpdateBlock | null

v4v/forwarding

Types to use with v4v (Rust).

interface PaymentInfo

interface KeysendAddress

interface PaymentRecipientInfo

Examples

Sat forwarding service using <podcast:liveItem> websocket

This assumes the usage of a signal-based framework like SolidJS.

import QRCode from "qrcode";
import { PaymentInfo, PaymentRecipientInfo } from "v4vts/forwarding";
import { createMemo } from "solid-js";
import { extractLiveUpdateBlock } from "v4vts/sockets";
import { io } from "socket.io-client";
import { v4 as uuid } from "uuid";

...

const socket = io(socketUrl);
socket.on("remoteValue", function(data) {
  const block = extractLiveUpdateBlock(data);
  setRemoteBlock(block);
  if (block !== null && block.value.destinations.length > 0) {
    setRemoteValueDestinations(block.value.destinations);
  } else {
    setRemoteValueDestinations(liveitemInfo.valueDestinations);
  }
});

...

const recipients = createMemo(() => {
  const genericRecipients: GenericRecipient[] = valueDestinations().map((dest) => {
    if (dest.fee) {
      return {
        percentage: dest.split,
      }
    }
    return {
      numShares: dest.split,
    }
  });
  const splits = feeRecipientsToSplits(genericRecipients);
  if (!(splits instanceof Array)) {
    return [];
  }
  const sats = computeSatRecipients(splits, numSats());

  return valueDestinations().map((dest, i) => {
    return {
      name: dest.name,
      address: {
        pubkey: dest.address,
        customData: (() => {
          if (dest.customKey === null || dest.customValue === null) {
            return null;
          }
          return [dest.customKey, dest.customValue];
        })(),
      },
      numSats: sats[i],
      paymentId: uuid(),

    } as PaymentRecipientInfo;
  });
});

...

interface ApiRequest {
  paymentInfo: PaymentInfo;
  recipients: PaymentRecipientInfo[];
}

const onSubmit = async () => {
