nostr-tools

Tools for developing Nostr clients.

Only depends on @scure and @noble packages.

This package is only providing lower-level functionality. If you want an easy-to-use fully-fledged solution that abstracts the hard parts of Nostr and makes decisions on your behalf, take a look at NDK and @snort/system.

Installation

 npm install nostr-tools # or yarn add nostr-tools

Usage

Generating a private key and a public key

import {generatePrivateKey, getPublicKey} from 'nostr-tools'

let sk = generatePrivateKey() // `sk` is a hex string
let pk = getPublicKey(sk) // `pk` is a hex string

Creating, signing and verifying events

import {
  validateEvent,
  verifySignature,
  getSignature,
  getEventHash,
  getPublicKey
} from 'nostr-tools'

let event = {
  kind: 1,
  created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
  tags: [],
  content: 'hello',
  pubkey: getPublicKey(privateKey)
}

event.id = getEventHash(event)
event.sig = getSignature(event, privateKey)

let ok = validateEvent(event)
let veryOk = verifySignature(event)

Interacting with a relay

import {
  relayInit,
  finishEvent,
  generatePrivateKey,
  getPublicKey,
} from 'nostr-tools'

const relay = relayInit('wss://relay.example.com')
relay.on('connect', () => {
  console.log(`connected to ${relay.url}`)
})
relay.on('error', () => {
  console.log(`failed to connect to ${relay.url}`)
})

await relay.connect()

// let's query for an event that exists
let sub = relay.sub([
  {
    ids: ['d7dd5eb3ab747e16f8d0212d53032ea2a7cadef53837e5a6c66d42849fcb9027']
  }
])
sub.on('event', event => {
  console.log('we got the event we wanted:', event)
})
sub.on('eose', () => {
  sub.unsub()
})

// let's publish a new event while simultaneously monitoring the relay for it
let sk = generatePrivateKey()
let pk = getPublicKey(sk)

let sub = relay.sub([
  {
    kinds: [1],
    authors: [pk]
  }
])

sub.on('event', event => {
  console.log('got event:', event)
})

let event = {
  kind: 1,
  pubkey: pk,
  created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
  tags: [],
  content: 'hello world'
}

// this calculates the event id and signs the event in a single step
const signedEvent = finishEvent(event, sk)
await relay.publish(signedEvent)

let events = await relay.list([{kinds: [0, 1]}])
let event = await relay.get({
  ids: ['44e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245']
})

relay.close()

To use this on Node.js you first must install websocket-polyfill and import it:

import 'websocket-polyfill'

Interacting with multiple relays

import {SimplePool} from 'nostr-tools'

const pool = new SimplePool()

let relays = ['wss://relay.example.com', 'wss://relay.example2.com']

let sub = pool.sub(
  [...relays, 'wss://relay.example3.com'],
  [
    {
      authors: [
        '32e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245'
      ]
    }
  ]
)

sub.on('event', event => {
  // this will only be called once the first time the event is received
  // ...
})

let pubs = pool.publish(relays, newEvent)
await Promise.all(pubs)

let events = await pool.list(relays, [{kinds: [0, 1]}])
let event = await pool.get(relays, {
  ids: ['44e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245']
})

let relaysForEvent = pool.seenOn(
  '44e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245'
)
// relaysForEvent will be an array of URLs from relays a given event was seen on

pool.close()

Parsing references (mentions) from a content using NIP-10 and NIP-27

import {parseReferences} from 'nostr-tools'

let references = parseReferences(event)
let simpleAugmentedContent = event.content
for (let i = 0; i < references.length; i++) {
  let {text, profile, event, address} = references[i]
  let augmentedReference = profile
    ? `<strong>@${profilesCache[profile.pubkey].name}</strong>`
    : event
    ? `<em>${eventsCache[event.id].content.slice(0, 5)}</em>`
    : address
    ? `<a href="${text}">[link]</a>`
    : text
  simpleAugmentedContent.replaceAll(text, augmentedReference)
}

Querying profile data from a NIP-05 address

import {nip05} from 'nostr-tools'

let profile = await nip05.queryProfile('jb55.com')
console.log(profile.pubkey)
// prints: 32e1827635450ebb3c5a7d12c1f8e7b2b514439ac10a67eef3d9fd9c5c68e245
console.log(profile.relays)
// prints: [wss://relay.damus.io]

To use this on Node.js < v18, you first must install node-fetch@2 and call something like this:

nip05.useFetchImplementation(require('node-fetch'))

Encoding and decoding NIP-19 codes

import {nip19, generatePrivateKey, getPublicKey} from 'nostr-tools'

let sk = generatePrivateKey()
let nsec = nip19.nsecEncode(sk)
let {type, data} = nip19.decode(nsec)
assert(type === 'nsec')
assert(data === sk)

let pk = getPublicKey(generatePrivateKey())
let npub = nip19.npubEncode(pk)
let {type, data} = nip19.decode(npub)
assert(type === 'npub')
assert(data === pk)

let pk = getPublicKey(generatePrivateKey())
let relays = [
  'wss://relay.nostr.example.mydomain.example.com',
  'wss://nostr.banana.com'
]
let nprofile = nip19.nprofileEncode({pubkey: pk, relays})
let {type, data} = nip19.decode(nprofile)
assert(type === 'nprofile')
assert(data.pubkey === pk)
assert(data.relays.length === 2)

Encrypting and decrypting direct messages

import {nip04, getPublicKey, generatePrivateKey} from 'nostr-tools'

// sender
let sk1 = generatePrivateKey()
let pk1 = getPublicKey(sk1)

// receiver
let sk2 = generatePrivateKey()
let pk2 = getPublicKey(sk2)

// on the sender side
let message = 'hello'
let ciphertext = await nip04.encrypt(sk1, pk2, message)

let event = {
  kind: 4,
  pubkey: pk1,
  tags: [['p', pk2]],
  content: ciphertext,
  ...otherProperties
}

sendEvent(event)

// on the receiver side
sub.on('event', async event => {
  let sender = event.pubkey
  pk1 === sender
  let plaintext = await nip04.decrypt(sk2, pk1, event.content)
})

Performing and checking for delegation

import {nip26, getPublicKey, generatePrivateKey} from 'nostr-tools'

// delegator
let sk1 = generatePrivateKey()
let pk1 = getPublicKey(sk1)

// delegatee
let sk2 = generatePrivateKey()
let pk2 = getPublicKey(sk2)

// generate delegation
let delegation = nip26.createDelegation(sk1, {
  pubkey: pk2,
  kind: 1,
  since: Math.round(Date.now() / 1000),
  until: Math.round(Date.now() / 1000) + 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 /* 30 days */
})

// the delegatee uses the delegation when building an event
let event = {
  pubkey: pk2,
  kind: 1,
  created_at: Math.round(Date.now() / 1000),
  content: 'hello from a delegated key',
  tags: [['delegation', delegation.from, delegation.cond, delegation.sig]]
}

// finally any receiver of this event can check for the presence of a valid delegation tag
let delegator = nip26.getDelegator(event)
assert(delegator === pk1) // will be null if there is no delegation tag or if it is invalid

Please consult the tests or the source code for more information that isn't available here.
