Description
This package intents to be a full implementation of BSV paymail specification easy to plug in any expressjs app.
Getting started
This is a minimal example of an express app using this package:
import { buildRouter } from '@moneybutton/express-paymail'
import express from 'express'
const BASE_URL = 'example.tls' // The library needs to know
                               // the actual url where the app is going to work
const paymailRouter = buildRouter(BASE_URL, {
  basePath: '/api/bsvalias',
  getIdentityKey: async (name, domain) => {
    // A paymail has the form `name@domain`. You can find the appropiate
    // key using paymail data.
    return '0335e5e7b86c12a4b5df082acb43ca7805382b58c805172bdef20ced310df845aa' // Some public key
  },
  getPaymentDestination: async (name, domain, body, helpers) => {
    // This method have to return a valid bitcoin outputs. The third parameter is the
    // body of the request and the fourth parameter is a js object containing handful
    // methods to create outputs.
    return helpers.p2pkhFromAddress('1FJJkRqyxTKAVX3dGFpddERt9XRbiSRZkL')
  },
  verifyPublicKeyOwner: async (name, domain, publicKeyToCheck) => {
    // Returns true if the public key belongs to the user owning `name@domain`, false in
    // any other case.
    return '0335e5e7b86c12a4b5df082acb43ca7805382b58c805172bdef20ced310df845aa' === publicKeyToCheck
  }
})
const app = express()
app.use(paymailRouter)
app.listen('3000', () => {
  logger.info(`Listening on port ${API_REST_PORT}.`)
})This generates an app with the following endpoints:
| endpoint | description | 
|---|---|
| /.well-known/bsvalias | Api descriptor. Generated automatically. | 
| /api/bsvalias/id/{alias}@{domain.tld} | Returns public key for a given paymail. | 
| /api/bsvalias/address/{alias}@{domain.tld} | Returns an output to send money to a given paymail owner. | 
| /verifypubkey/{alias}@{domain.tld}/{pubkey} | Checks if a given pubkey belongs to given paymail. |
