Bigmi

TypeScript library and reactive primitives for Bitcoin apps.

Bigmi (short for Bitcoin Is Gonna Make It) is a TypeScript library that provides reactive primitives for building Bitcoin applications. Bigmi simplifies Bitcoin app development by offering:

Abstractions over the Bitcoin JSON-RPC API
First-class APIs for interacting with the Bitcoin network, including sending transactions and tracking with Replace-By-Fee (RBF) support
Connectors for popular Bitcoin wallet extensions
TypeScript support

Whether you're building a Node.js application or a client-side app, Bigmi provides the tools you need to interact with the Bitcoin.

Packages

Bigmi is modularized into several packages, each suited to different use cases:

@bigmi/core - Actions, transports, utilities, and other core primitives for Node.js or client-side applications.
@bigmi/react - Hooks, providers, and other useful primitives for React applications.
@bigmi/client - Wallet connectors and other tools to connect wallet extensions with Bitcoin applications.

Installation

pnpm add @bigmi/react

pnpm add @bigmi/core

pnpm add @bigmi/client

Getting Started

Here is an example of a basic usage:

import { useConfig } from '@bigmi/react'
import {
  type UTXOAPISchema,
  bitcoin,
  getBalance,
  getBlockCount,
  sendUTXOTransaction,
  utxo,
  waitForTransaction,
} from '@bigmi/core'
import { createClient, fallback, rpcSchema } from 'viem'
import { useAccount } from 'wagmi'


// Create a public client for interactions with the Bitcoin
const publicClient = createClient({
  chain: bitcoin,
  rpcSchema: rpcSchema<UTXOAPISchema>(),
  transport: fallback([
    utxo('https://api.blockchair.com', {
      key: 'blockchair',
      includeChainToURL: true,
    }),
    utxo('https://rpc.ankr.com/http/btc_blockbook/api/v2', {
      key: 'ankr',
    }),
    utxo('https://api.blockcypher.com/v1/btc/main', {
      key: 'blockcypher',
    }),
    utxo('https://mempool.space/api', {
      key: 'mempool',
    }),
  ]),
})

// Define the Bitcoin address you're working with
const address = 'BITCOIN_ADDRESS';

// Fetch the balance of the address
const balance = await getBalance(publicClient, { address });
console.log(`Balance for ${address}:`, balance);

// Fetch the current block count (height)
const blockCount = await getBlockCount(publicClient);
console.log('Current block count:', blockCount);

// Prepare the transaction hex (as a string)
const txHex = 'TRANSACTION_HEX';

// Send the transaction to the network
const txId = await sendUTXOTransaction(publicClient, { hex: txHex });
console.log('Transaction sent with ID:', txId);

// Wait for the transaction to be confirmed
const transaction = await waitForTransaction(publicClient, {
  txId,
  txHex,
  senderAddress: address,
  onReplaced: (response) => {
    console.log('Transaction replaced due to:', response.reason);
  },
});

console.log('Transaction confirmed:', transaction);

// Getting account information inside the React application
const bigmiConfig = useConfig()
const account = useAccount({ config: bigmiConfig })

console.log('Bitcoin account address:', account.address);
