rust-lnd

The rust-lnd is the rust binding to the Lightning Network Daemon.

Requirements

Go and lnd are required to generate the additional code and build the package.

Updating

The file protos/rpc.proto should be synced with https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/lnrpc/rpc.proto.

Tested with the Lightning Network Daemon version "0.4.2".

Usage

First, add the following to Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] rust-lnd = "0.1" grpc = "0.5.0"

Next, create lightning client object:

rs let lightning_client = { let certificate = lnd_rust::TLSCertificate::from_der_path("path/to/file.crt").unwrap(); let config = Default::default(); let socket = "127.0.0.1:9000".parse().unwrap(); let tls = certificate.into_tls("localhost").unwrap(); let grpc_client = grpc::Client::new_expl(&socket_addr, "localhost", tls, config).unwrap(); lnd_rust::rpc_grpc::LightningClient::with_client(grpc_client) };

Now, it is possible to make requests:

rs let request = lnd_rust::rpc::GetInfoRequest::new(); let options = grpc::RequestOptions::new(); let response = lightning_client.get_info(options, request);

See src/bin/main.rs for details.
