        "@rust-nostr/nostr-sdk": "0.37.0"
    }
}

WASM

This library to work require to load the WASM code.

Load in async context

import { loadWasmAsync } from "@rust-nostr/nostr-sdk";

async function main() {
    // Load WASM
    await loadWasmAsync();

    // ...
}

main();

Load in sync context

import { loadWasmSync } from "@rust-nostr/nostr-sdk";

function main() {
    // Load WASM
    loadWasmSync();

    // ...
}

main();
Kotlin

To use the Kotlin language bindings for nostr-sdk in your Android project add the following to your gradle dependencies:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies { 
    implementation("org.rust-nostr:nostr-sdk:0.37.0")
}

Import the library in your code:

import rust.nostr.sdk.*

Known issues

JNA dependency

Depending on the JVM version you use, you might not have the JNA dependency on your classpath. The exception thrown will be

class file for com.sun.jna.Pointer not found

The solution is to add JNA as a dependency like so:

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation("net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.12.0@aar")
}
