## Usage
You will certainly need some crates like:
```toml
bech32 = "0.7.1"
lightning-invoice = "0.2.0"
serde = { version = "1.0.93", features =["derive"]}
serde_json = "1.0.39"
```
Create a bech32 QRCode:
```rust
use bech32::ToBase32;
use image::Luma;
use qrcode::QrCode;
pub fn create_lnurl_qrcode(url: &str, path: &str) {
let encoded = bech32::encode("lnurl", url.as_bytes().to_base32()).unwrap();
let code = QrCode::new(encoded.to_string()).unwrap();
let image = code.render::<Luma<u8>>().build();
image.save(path).unwrap();
}
```
Use serde_json to encode your LNRUL object in the HTTP response body
of your server.
```rust
if let Err(_) = invoice.parse::<lightning_invoice::SignedRawInvoice>() {
let res = serde_json::to_string(
&lnurl::Response::Error{reason: "your invoice is wrong".to_string()}
).unwrap();
return Ok(Response::builder()
.status(StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST)
.header(header::CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json")
.body(Body::from(res)).unwrap())
}
```
