Usage / Development
-------------------

[](#usage--development)

Set up your custom config:

```
cp lightning-config.dist.php lightning-config.php
# or just simply the nostr.json to define the backends/user-settings
cp nostr.dist.json nostr.json
```

You can customize the invoice description and the success message by editing `lightning-config.php`:

```
use PhpLightning\Config\LightningConfig;

return (new LightningConfig())
    ->setDescriptionTemplate('Pay to %s on mynode')
    ->setSuccessMessage('Thanks for the payment!');
```

Run a local PHP server listening `public/index.php`

```
composer serve
```
