bdk_flutter 0.3.1

A Flutter library for the Bitcoin Development Kit(bdk) (https://bitcoindevkit.org/)

Bdk Flutter

A Flutter library for the Bitcoin Development Kit. The bdk library aims to be the core building block for Bitcoin Applications of any kind.

Requirements

• Flutter : 3.0 or higher
• Android minSdkVersion. : API 23 or higher.
• Deployment target : iOS 12.0 or greater.

How to Use

To use the bdk_flutter package in your project, add it as a dependency in your project's pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  bdk_flutter: ^0.3.1

bdk-flutter can then be imported and used in your Flutter code. For example:

import 'package:bdk_flutter/bdk_flutter.dart';

// ....

final mnemonic  = await Mnemonic.create(WordCount.Words12);
final descriptorSecretKey = await DescriptorSecretKey.create( network: Network.Testnet,
                                                              mnemonic: mnemonic );
final externalDescriptor = await Descriptor.newBip44( descriptorSecretKey: descriptorSecretKey,
                                                      network: Network.Testnet,
                                                      keychain: KeyChainKind.External );
final internalDescriptor = await Descriptor.newBip44( descriptorSecretKey: descriptorSecretKey,
                                                      network: Network.Testnet,
                                                      keychain: KeyChainKind.Internal );
final blockchain = await Blockchain.create( config: BlockchainConfig.electrum(
                                                                        config: ElectrumConfig(
                                                                            stopGap: 10,
                                                                            timeout: 5,
                                                                            retry: 5,
                                                                            url: "ssl://electrum.blockstream.info:60002" )));
final wallet = await Wallet.create( descriptor: externalDescriptor,
                                    changeDescriptor: internalDescriptor,
                                    network: Network.TESTNET,
                                    databaseConfig: const DatabaseConfig.memory() );
final addressInfo = await wallet.getAddress( addressIndex: AddressIndex.New );
await wallet.sync( blockchain );

Example Projects

• *BDK Flutter Demo App: The BDK Flutter Demo App is a simple bitcoin app built in flutter to serve as a reference app to demonstrate bdk-flutter api usage.

How to build

Note that Flutter version 3.0 or later is required to build the plugin.

1. Install Rust and Cargo The easiest way to get Cargo is to install the current stable release of Rust by using rustup. Installing Rust using rustup will also install cargo.

2. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/LtbLightning/bdk-flutter.git
   

3. Activate dart ffigen

   dart pub global activate ffigen
   

4. Android Setup

• The Android NDK, or Native Development Kit, enables code written in other languages to be run on the JVM via the Java Native Interface, or JNI for short. After following the instructions above, the NDK should be installed in your $ANDROID_SDK_HOME/ndk folder, where ANDROID_SDK_HOME usually is:
  Windows: %APPDATA%\Local\Android\sdk
  MacOS: ~/Library/Android/sdk

  An issue regarding building Rust's core library against the latest NDK means that as of writing only NDK versions 22 and older can be used.

  You can alternatively use the latest version of the Android NDK which is greater than 22. However, this requires a hack to prevent the unable to find library -lgcc error.

5. Build flutter bindings Navigate to rust directory, and run the following commands

   cargo build
   make all
