This crate provides an interface from rust to the c-lightning daemon through RPC.

extern crate clightningrpc;
use std::env;
use clightningrpc::LightningRPC;

fn main() {
    let sock = env::home_dir().unwrap().join(".lightning/lightning-rpc");
    let mut client = LightningRPC::new(&sock);

    println!("getinfo result: {:?}", client.getinfo().unwrap());
}

See examples directory for more usage examples. To build and run an example do cargo run --example ex_1. API documentation for the lastest version can be found on docs.rs.

Currently implemented (this covers all non-dev commands as of c-lightning v0.6.1rc1):

• getinfo
• feerates
• listnodes
• listchannels
• help
• getlog
• listconfigs
• listpeers
• listinvoices
• invoice
• delinvoice
• delexpiredinvoice
• autocleaninvoice
• waitanyinvoice
• waitinvoice
• pay
• sendpay
• waitsendpay
• listpayments
• decodepay
• getroute
• connect
• disconnect
• fundchannel
• close
• ping
• listfunds
• withdraw
• newaddr
• stop

Be aware that the API (of rust-clighting-rpc, but also that of c-lightning itself) is not finalized. This means that it may change from version to version and break your compile, sorry!

N.B: A good solution if you have some missing compatibility between core lightning and the rust library, considering to use the common crate.
