# Lightning Payments Requests (BOLT #11) Implementation
This is an implementation of [Lightning BOLT11 Specification](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lightning-rfc/blob/master/11-payment-encoding.md) for providing a minimal QR-code-ready format for requesting
lightning payments.
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
bolt11 = "0.1.0"
```
and this to your crate root:
```rust
extern crate bolt11;
```
## Example
```rust
use bolt11::payment_request::PaymentRequest;
let encoded_payment_request = "lnbc2500u1pvjluezpp5qqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqqqsyqcyq5rqwzqf
qqqsyqcyq5rqwzqfqypqdq5xysxxatsyp3k7enxv4jsxqzpuaztrnwngzn3kdzw5hydlzf03qdgm2hdq

let payment_request = PaymentRequest::decode(encoded_payment_request);
```
