ndk 0.3.2

Nostr Development Kit - the most performant lib for all your nostr usecases

Dart Nostr Development Kit (NDK)

NDK (Nostr Development Kit) is a Dart library that enhances the Nostr development experience.
NDK supplies you with high-level usecases like lists or metadata while still allowing you to use low-level queries enhanced with inbox/outbox (gossip) by default.
Our Target is to make it easy to build constrained Nostr clients, particularly for mobile devices.

Apps using NDK

• sample app
• yana
• camelus
• zapstore
• freeflow
• hostr

Features / what does NDK do?

• return nostr data based on filters (any kind).
• automatically discover the best relays to satisfy the provided request (using gossip)
• specify desired coverage on each request (e.g. x relays per pubkey)
• publish nostr events to optimal relays or explicit relays
• cache responses to save network bandwidth
• stream directly from cache and network (if needed)
• query and subscription, e.g., get data once; subscribe to data.
• plugin cache interface, bring your own db or use included ones: inMemory
• plug in verifier interface, bring your own event verifier, or use included ones: bip340, rust
• plug in event signer interface, bring your own event signer, or use included ones: bip340, amber
• contact list support, you can convert nostr_event to contact_list
• nip51 list support, you can convert nostr_event to nip51_list
• nip05 caching
• nip-47 Nostr wallet connect
• nip-42 Authentication of clients to relays
• nip-57 Zaps
• blossom file support

not Included

• ready to use feeds, you have to build them on your own (🚫 not planned)
• create && manage keypairs. You have to provide them (🚫 not planned)
• threading, you can do this on your own if you move ndk or only the event_verifier into its own thread (🔜 planned)
• support for request overrides (you have to close and reopen requests) (🤔 unsure)
