Claude 6d2c37c346 refactor(quartz): rename event classes to match their NIP names
Old class names drifted from the NIP wording (or described the wrong
kind). Every old name stays available as a @Deprecated typealias with a
ReplaceWith, so external Quartz users get an IDE quick-fix instead of a
break. Wire format is unchanged: parsing goes by kind.

Renames:
- FollowListEvent (39089) -> StarterPackEvent
- LnZapPaymentRequestEvent/ResponseEvent (NIP-47) -> NwcRequestEvent/NwcResponseEvent
- VideoHorizontalEvent/VideoVerticalEvent -> AddressableNormalVideoEvent/AddressableShortVideoEvent
- CalendarEvent (31924) -> CalendarCollectionEvent
- HashtagListEvent -> InterestListEvent
- ContactCardEvent (30382) -> UserAssertionEvent
- LnZapEvent/LnZapRequestEvent/LnZapEventInterface -> ZapReceiptEvent/ZapRequestEvent/ZapReceiptEventInterface
- PrivateDmEvent -> EncryptedDmEvent, DeletionEvent -> DeletionRequestEvent
- LongTextNoteEvent -> LongFormContentEvent, WikiNoteEvent -> WikiArticleEvent
- PeopleListEvent -> FollowSetEvent, LabeledBookmarkListEvent -> BookmarkSetEvent
- RelayFeedsListEvent -> FavoriteRelayListEvent, EmojiPackSelectionEvent -> EmojiListEvent
- ChannelListEvent -> PublicChatListEvent, ChatMessageRelayListEvent -> DmRelayListEvent
- SealedRumorEvent -> SealEvent, FileHeaderEvent -> FileMetadataEvent
- GoalEvent -> ZapGoalEvent, StatusEvent -> UserStatusEvent
- NIP90*Event -> Dvm*Event (all NIP-90 events)
- NIP-29 group events get the Group prefix to separate them from NIP-43:
  PutUser, RemoveUser, EditMetadata, DeleteEvent, CreateInvite,
  UpdatePinList, JoinRequest, LeaveRequest; SupportedRolesEvent -> GroupRolesEvent

Merged duplicate classes for the same kind:
- nip61 TokenEvent (7375) was unreachable in EventFactory; now an alias of CashuTokenEvent.
- nip61 NutzapRedemptionEvent (7376) was unreachable; CashuSpendingHistoryEvent now
  carries its hint providers and redeemedNutzaps(), plus
  CashuSpendingHistoryEvent.buildNutzapRedemption.
- NIP-82 SoftwareReleaseEvent (30063) was never built by EventFactory;
  ReleaseArtifactSetEvent now exposes appId/version/channel/assets/releaseNotes
  and buildSoftwareRelease, and the app no longer re-parses the event.

# Quartz Integration Guide
Reference for integrating `com.vitorpamplona.quartz:quartz` into external Nostr KMP projects.
**Published artifact**: `com.vitorpamplona.quartz:quartz:1.16.0` (Maven Central)
**Targets**: JVM 21+, Android (minSdk 21+), iOS (XCFramework `quartz-kmpKit`)
**License**: MIT
---
## 1. Gradle Setup
### Version Catalog (`libs.versions.toml`)
```toml
[versions]
quartz = "1.16.0"
[libraries]
quartz = { module = "com.vitorpamplona.quartz:quartz", version.ref = "quartz" }
```
### `build.gradle.kts` (KMP project)
```kotlin
kotlin {
sourceSets {
commonMain.dependencies {
implementation(libs.quartz)
}
}
}
```
### Android-only project
```kotlin
dependencies {
implementation("com.vitorpamplona.quartz:quartz:1.16.0")
}
```
### Transitive dependencies pulled in automatically
Quartz exposes these as `api` (you get them transitively):
| Dependency | Used for |
|-----------|----------|
| `fr.acinq.secp256k1:secp256k1-kmp-*` | Schnorr signing |
| `com.github.anthonynsimon:rfc3986-normalizer` | Relay URL normalization |
| `com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-kotlin` | Event JSON parsing |
For Android, add to `build.gradle.kts`:
```kotlin
android {
packaging {
resources.excludes += "/META-INF/{AL2.0,LGPL2.1}"
}
}
```
---
## 2. Key Concepts
### Core Types
```kotlin
typealias HexKey = String // 64-char hex string (pubkey, event id, sig)
typealias Kind = Int // Event kind number
typealias TagArray = Array<Array<String>>
```
### Event Anatomy
```kotlin
@Immutable
open class Event(
val id: HexKey, // SHA-256 of canonical JSON (64 hex chars)
val pubKey: HexKey, // Author public key (64 hex chars)
val createdAt: Long, // Unix timestamp (seconds)
val kind: Kind, // Event type
val tags: TagArray, // [["e","eventid"], ["p","pubkey"], ...]
val content: String,
val sig: HexKey, // Schnorr signature (128 hex chars)
)
```
### Kind Classification
```kotlin
// Regular events — stored by relays forever
val isRegular = kind in 1..9999
// Replaceable events — relay keeps only latest per (pubkey, kind)
val isReplaceable = kind == 0 || kind == 3 || kind in 10000..19999
// Addressable events — relay keeps latest per (pubkey, kind, d-tag)
val isAddressable = kind in 30000..39999
// Ephemeral events — relays don't persist
val isEphemeral = kind in 20000..29999
```
---
## 3. Key Management
### Generate a new keypair
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.crypto.KeyPair
// Generate fresh random keys
val keyPair = KeyPair()
// From existing private key bytes
val keyPair = KeyPair(privKey = myPrivKeyBytes)
// Read-only (public key only, cannot sign)
val keyPair = KeyPair(pubKey = myPubKeyBytes)
// Access
val pubKeyHex: String = keyPair.pubKey.toHexKey()
val privKeyHex: String? = keyPair.privKey?.toHexKey()
```
### Convert between formats
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.toHexKey
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.hexToByteArray
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.Nip19Parser
// ByteArray → hex
val hex = byteArray.toHexKey()
// hex → ByteArray
val bytes = hex.hexToByteArray()
// Bech32 import (npub, nsec)
val parsed = Nip19Parser.uriToRoute("npub1abc...")
// or
val parsed = Nip19Parser.uriToRoute("nsec1abc...")
```
> Hex ↔ ByteArray is a first-class utility in Quartz — see **§3.1 Hex utilities** below.
---
### 3.1 Hex utilities (HexKey ↔ ByteArray)
Nostr keys, event ids and signatures travel as lower-case hex strings. Quartz
models this with the `HexKey` typealias (just a `String`) plus extension
functions — **do not** write your own byte loop or pull in a third-party codec.
**Packages:** `com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core` (the extensions) and
`com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils` (the underlying `Hex` object).
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.HexKey // typealias = String
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.toHexKey // ByteArray → hex
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.hexToByteArray // hex → ByteArray
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.hexToByteArrayOrNull
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.isValid
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.Hex
// Encode / decode
val hex: HexKey = pubKeyBytes.toHexKey() // lower-case, 2 chars per byte
val bytes: ByteArray = hex.hexToByteArray() // throws on odd length
// Untrusted input → decode safely
val maybe: ByteArray? = userInput.hexToByteArrayOrNull() // null if not valid hex
// Validate without decoding (no allocation)
Hex.isHex(userInput) // even-length, all hex digits (any length)
Hex.isHex64(userInput) // fast path for a 32-byte key/id (checks first 64 chars)
hex.isValid() // 64 chars AND valid hex (pubkey / event-id shape)
// Compare a hex string to raw bytes without decoding
Hex.isEqual(incomingHexId, myIdBytes)
```
| Need | Call | Notes |
|------|------|-------|
| ByteArray → hex | `bytes.toHexKey()` | lower-case output |
| hex → ByteArray (strict) | `hex.hexToByteArray()` | throws on odd length |
| hex → ByteArray (safe) | `hex.hexToByteArrayOrNull()` | `null` on invalid hex |
| is this valid hex? | `Hex.isHex(s)` / `Hex.isHex64(s)` | `isHex64` ~30% faster for keys/ids |
| is this a pubkey/id shape? | `hex.isValid()` | 64 chars + valid hex |
| hex == bytes? | `Hex.isEqual(hex, bytes)` | no decode allocation |
Constants `PUBKEY_LENGTH` and `EVENT_ID_LENGTH` (both `64`) live in the same
`nip01Core.core` package.
---
### 3.2 Everyday utilities (time, random, hashing, bech32, base64)
These small helpers exist so you don't reinvent them — and several have a
footgun the built-in avoids. **Prefer them over stdlib/hand-rolled equivalents.**
**Time — `TimeUtils` (`com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils`).** Everything is in Unix
**seconds** (what `created_at` and filter `since`/`until` use), *not* millis.
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.TimeUtils
val createdAt = TimeUtils.now() // seconds — for created_at. NOT currentTimeMillis()/1000
val since = TimeUtils.oneDayAgo() // relative filter bounds: oneHourAgo(), fiveMinutesAgo()…
val fresh = TimeUtils.withinTenMinutes(event.createdAt) // NIP-42/NIP-98 freshness
// TimeUtils.nowMillis() is the only millisecond helper — non-protocol use only.
```
**Secure random — `RandomInstance` (`utils`).** Backed by `SecureRandom`; use it
for anything security-sensitive instead of `kotlin.random.Random`.
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.RandomInstance
val nonce = RandomInstance.bytes(32) // nonces, salts, keys
val subId = RandomInstance.randomChars() // 16-char [a-zA-Z0-9] subscription id
```
**Hashing — `sha256(...)` + `EventHasher`.** `sha256` is the raw primitive; to
compute/verify an **event id** use `EventHasher`, which canonically serializes
`[0, pubkey, created_at, kind, tags, content]` before hashing (getting this wrong
is what makes relays reject an event). Typed builders already do this for you.
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.sha256.sha256
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.crypto.EventHasher
val digest = sha256(bytes) // raw 32-byte hash
val id = EventHasher.hashId(pubKey, createdAt, kind, tags, content)
val valid = EventHasher.hashIdCheck(event.id, event.pubKey, event.createdAt, event.kind, event.tags, event.content)
```
**Bech32.** For `npub`/`nsec`/`note`/… prefer the NIP-19 layer (`ByteArray.toNpub()`,
`Nip19Parser.uriToRoute(...)` — see §10). Drop to the low-level
`Bech32` object (`nip19Bech32.bech32`) only for a custom prefix:
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.bech32.Bech32
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.bech32.bechToBytes
val addr = Bech32.encodeBytes("npub", pubKeyBytes, Bech32.Encoding.Bech32)
val bytes = "npub1...".bechToBytes("npub") // decode + assert the prefix
```
**Base64.** Quartz has no wrapper — use the Kotlin stdlib `kotlin.io.encoding.Base64`
directly, and match the variant the spec wants: NIP-44/NIP-04 payloads use
`Base64.Default` (standard, padded); url-safe contexts use `Base64.UrlSafe`
(configure padding via `.withPadding(...)`).
| Need | Call |
|------|------|
| Now (event `created_at`) | `TimeUtils.now()` (seconds) |
| Relative filter bound | `TimeUtils.oneDayAgo()` / `oneHourAgo()` / … |
| Secure random bytes | `RandomInstance.bytes(n)` |
| Subscription id | `RandomInstance.randomChars()` |
| Raw hash | `sha256(bytes)` |
| Event id / verify | `EventHasher.hashId(...)` / `hashIdCheck(...)` |
| Bech32 custom prefix | `Bech32.encodeBytes(hrp, bytes, enc)` / `s.bechToBytes(hrp)` |
| Base64 | `kotlin.io.encoding.Base64` (`.Default` / `.UrlSafe`) |
---
## 4. Signing Events
### `NostrSignerInternal` (local key, JVM + Android)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.crypto.KeyPair
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.signers.NostrSignerInternal
val keyPair = KeyPair()
val signer = NostrSignerInternal(keyPair)
// Sign any EventTemplate
val template = TextNoteEvent.build("Hello Nostr!")
val signedEvent: TextNoteEvent = signer.sign(template)
```
### `NostrSignerSync` (synchronous, for testing)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.signers.NostrSignerSync
val signerSync = NostrSignerSync(keyPair)
val event = signerSync.sign<TextNoteEvent>(
createdAt = TimeUtils.now(),
kind = 1,
tags = emptyArray(),
content = "Hello!"
)
```
### NostrSigner interface (for custom signers)
```kotlin
abstract class NostrSigner(val pubKey: HexKey) {
abstract fun isWriteable(): Boolean
abstract suspend fun <T : Event> sign(createdAt: Long, kind: Int, tags: Array<Array<String>>, content: String): T
abstract suspend fun nip04Encrypt(plaintext: String, toPublicKey: HexKey): String
abstract suspend fun nip04Decrypt(ciphertext: String, fromPublicKey: HexKey): String
abstract suspend fun nip44Encrypt(plaintext: String, toPublicKey: HexKey): String
abstract suspend fun nip44Decrypt(ciphertext: String, fromPublicKey: HexKey): String
abstract suspend fun deriveKey(nonce: HexKey): HexKey
abstract fun hasForegroundSupport(): Boolean
// Convenience: auto-detects NIP-04 vs NIP-44 by ciphertext format
suspend fun decrypt(encryptedContent: String, fromPublicKey: HexKey): String
}
```
---
## 5. Creating Events
### Using typed event builders (recommended)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip10Notes.TextNoteEvent
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip25Reactions.ReactionEvent
// Kind 1 — Text note
val template = TextNoteEvent.build("Hello Nostr!")
val event: TextNoteEvent = signer.sign(template)
// Kind 1 — Reply
val replyTemplate = TextNoteEvent.build(
note = "Interesting thread!",
replyingTo = originalEventHintBundle
)
// Kind 7 — Reaction
val reactionTemplate = ReactionEvent.build(
content = "+", // "+" = like, "-" = dislike, emoji = custom
originalNote = targetEvent
)
```
### Using low-level `Event.build` DSL
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.Event
val template = Event.build(
kind = 1,
content = "Hello world",
createdAt = TimeUtils.now()
) {
// TagArrayBuilder DSL
add(arrayOf("p", mentionedPubKey))
add(arrayOf("t", "nostr"))
add(arrayOf("subject", "Greeting"))
}
val event: Event = signer.sign(template)
```
### TagArrayBuilder DSL methods
```kotlin
// In the DSL lambda:
add(arrayOf("tagname", "value")) // append
addFirst(arrayOf("tagname", "value")) // prepend
addUnique(arrayOf("d", "my-slug")) // replace all tags with same name
addAll(listOf(arrayOf("t", "tag1"), ...)) // bulk add
remove("tagname") // remove all with this name
```
## 6. Relay Client Setup (JVM / Android)
The relay client requires an OkHttp WebSocket builder (available on JVM + Android).
### Minimal setup
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.client.NostrClient
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.sockets.okhttp.BasicOkHttpWebSocket
import okhttp3.OkHttpClient
// Build the WebSocket factory
val okHttpClient = OkHttpClient.Builder().build()
val wsBuilder = BasicOkHttpWebSocket.Builder { _ -> okHttpClient }
// Create client (manages its own CoroutineScope internally)
val nostrClient = NostrClient(websocketBuilder = wsBuilder)
nostrClient.connect()
```
### With custom OkHttpClient per relay
```kotlin
val wsBuilder = BasicOkHttpWebSocket.Builder { normalizedUrl ->
if (normalizedUrl.url.contains(".onion")) {
torEnabledOkHttpClient // Tor proxy for .onion relays
} else {
regularOkHttpClient
}
}
```
### With custom CoroutineScope
```kotlin
val appScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO + SupervisorJob())
val nostrClient = NostrClient(wsBuilder, scope = appScope)
```
---
## 7. Subscribing to Events
### Normalize relay URLs first
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.normalizer.RelayUrlNormalizer
// Returns NormalizedRelayUrl (wrapper with validated wss:// URL)
val relayUrl = RelayUrlNormalizer.normalize("wss://relay.damus.io")
val relayUrlOrNull = RelayUrlNormalizer.normalizeOrNull("wss://relay.damus.io")
// Handles common fixes: https:// → wss://, strips whitespace, etc.
```
### Build a Filter
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.filters.Filter
// Fetch a user's notes
val filter = Filter(
authors = listOf(pubKeyHex),
kinds = listOf(1),
limit = 50
)
// Since a timestamp
val filter = Filter(
kinds = listOf(1, 6),
since = System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000 - 3600 // last hour
)
// By event tags
val filter = Filter(
kinds = listOf(7),
tags = mapOf("e" to listOf(eventId)) // reactions to an event
)
// AND tag filter (NIP-91)
val filter = Filter(
kinds = listOf(1),
tagsAll = mapOf(
"t" to listOf("nostr"),
"p" to listOf(specificPubKey)
)
)
// Full-text search (NIP-50)
val filter = Filter(
kinds = listOf(1),
search = "bitcoin lightning"
)
```
### Open a subscription
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.client.listeners.IRelayClientListener
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.client.single.IRelayClient
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.commands.toClient.Message
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.commands.toClient.EventMessage
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.commands.toClient.EoseMessage
val relay = RelayUrlNormalizer.normalize("wss://relay.damus.io")
val subId = "my-sub-${System.currentTimeMillis()}"
val filtersMap = mapOf(relay to listOf(filter))
nostrClient.openReqSubscription(
subId = subId,
filters = filtersMap,
listener = object : IRequestListener {
override fun onEvent(subId: String, event: Event, relay: IRelayClient) {
println("Got event: ${event.id}")
}
override fun onEOSE(subId: String, relay: IRelayClient) {
println("End of stored events from ${relay.url}")
}
}
)
// Close when done
nostrClient.close(subId)
```
### Global relay listener
```kotlin
nostrClient.subscribe(object : IRelayClientListener {
override fun onIncomingMessage(relay: IRelayClient, msgStr: String, msg: Message) {
when (msg) {
is EventMessage -> handleEvent(msg.subscriptionId, msg.event)
is EoseMessage -> handleEose(msg.subscriptionId)
else -> {}
}
}
override fun onConnected(relay: IRelayClient, pingMillis: Int, compressed: Boolean) {
println("Connected to ${relay.url} in ${pingMillis}ms")
}
override fun onDisconnected(relay: IRelayClient) {
println("Disconnected from ${relay.url}")
}
// other callbacks: onConnecting, onSent, onCannotConnect
})
```
---
## 8. Publishing Events
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.normalizer.RelayUrlNormalizer
val relaySet = setOf(
RelayUrlNormalizer.normalize("wss://relay.damus.io"),
RelayUrlNormalizer.normalize("wss://nos.lol"),
)
// Sign the event
val template = TextNoteEvent.build("Hello Nostr!")
val event: TextNoteEvent = signer.sign(template)
// Send to relays (handles retry + reconnect automatically)
nostrClient.send(event, relaySet)
```
---
## 9. Event Serialization
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.core.Event
// Serialize to JSON string
val json: String = event.toJson()
// Parse from JSON string
val event: Event = Event.fromJson(json)
// Null-safe parse
val event: Event? = Event.fromJsonOrNull(json)
// Specific typed parse (returns base Event, cast if needed)
val textNote = Event.fromJson(json) as? TextNoteEvent
```
---
## 10. Bech32 Encoding / Decoding (NIP-19)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.Nip19Parser
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NAddress
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NEvent
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NNote
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NProfile
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip19Bech32.entities.NPub
// Decode any bech32 entity (plain or nostr:-prefixed).
// uriToRoute() returns Nip19Parser.ParseReturn? — the parsed Entity is in .entity
when (val entity = Nip19Parser.uriToRoute(input)?.entity) {
is NPub -> println("pubkey: ${entity.hex}")
is NNote -> println("event id: ${entity.hex}")
is NEvent -> println("event: ${entity.hex}, relays: ${entity.relay}")
is NProfile -> println("profile: ${entity.hex}")
is NAddress -> println("address: ${entity.aTag()}")
null -> println("not a valid bech32 entity")
else -> {}
}
// Encode: ByteArray extensions from nip19Bech32/ByteArrayExt.kt
val npub = pubkeyBytes.toNpub() // also toNsec(), toNote(), ...
// TLV entities with relay hints (relays: List<NormalizedRelayUrl>)
val nevent = NEvent.create(eventIdHex, authorHex, kind, relays)
```
---
## 11. Encryption
### NIP-44 (modern, recommended)
```kotlin
// Via signer (preferred)
val encrypted = signer.nip44Encrypt(
plaintext = "Secret message",
toPublicKey = recipientPubKeyHex
)
val decrypted = signer.nip44Decrypt(
ciphertext = encrypted,
fromPublicKey = senderPubKeyHex
)
// Auto-detect format (NIP-04 or NIP-44)
val plaintext = signer.decrypt(encryptedContent, fromPublicKeyHex)
```
### NIP-04 (legacy, avoid for new code)
```kotlin
val encrypted = signer.nip04Encrypt(plaintext, recipientPubKeyHex)
val decrypted = signer.nip04Decrypt(ciphertext, senderPubKeyHex)
```
---
## 12. Common NIP Event Builders
### NIP-02 — Follow list (kind 3)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip02FollowList.ContactListEvent
val template = ContactListEvent.build(
follows = listOf(
ContactListEvent.Contact(pubKey = alicePubKey, relayUrl = "wss://relay.damus.io", petname = "alice"),
ContactListEvent.Contact(pubKey = bobPubKey)
)
)
```
### NIP-25 — Reaction (kind 7)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip25Reactions.ReactionEvent
val like = ReactionEvent.build("+", targetEvent)
val dislike = ReactionEvent.build("-", targetEvent)
val custom = ReactionEvent.build("🤙", targetEvent)
```
### NIP-57 — Zap request (kind 9734)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip57Zaps.ZapRequestEvent
val template = ZapRequestEvent.build(
message = "Great post!",
relays = listOf("wss://relay.damus.io"),
target = targetEvent,
zapType = ZapRequestEvent.ZapType.PUBLIC
)
val zapRequest: ZapRequestEvent = signer.sign(template)
```
### NIP-59 — Gift wrap / sealed DM (kind 1059 + 14)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip17Dm.NIP17Factory
// Creates sealed rumor + gift wrap pair
val (dmEvent, giftWrap) = NIP17Factory.create(
msg = "Private message",
fromSigner = senderSigner,
toUsers = listOf(recipientPubKey),
relayList = listOf("wss://relay.damus.io")
)
```
### NIP-23 — Long-form article (kind 30023)
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip23LongContent.LongFormContentEvent
val template = LongFormContentEvent.build(
body = markdownContent,
title = "My Article",
image = "https://example.com/cover.jpg",
summary = "A brief summary",
slug = "my-article" // d-tag
)
```
---
## 13. Platform-Specific Notes
### JVM / Desktop
```kotlin
// jvmMain dependencies needed in consuming project:
// secp256k1-kmp-jni-jvm and lazysodium-java are transitive from quartz
// But you need JNA on the classpath for libsodium:
implementation("net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.18.1")
```
### Android
```kotlin
// androidMain dependencies (transitive from quartz):
// secp256k1-kmp-jni-android, lazysodium-android, jna (aar)
// No extra setup needed beyond the maven dependency.
// For NIP-55 (Android external signer apps):
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip55AndroidSigner.ExternalSignerLauncher
```
### iOS
The library produces an XCFramework named `quartz-kmpKit`.
```bash
# Build XCFramework
./gradlew :quartz:assembleQuartz-kmpKitReleaseXCFramework
# Output: quartz/build/XCFrameworks/release/quartz-kmpKit.xcframework
```
In Xcode: drag & drop the `.xcframework` into your project, then use from Swift via Kotlin/Native interop.
---
## 14. Event Store (SQLite, all platforms)
SQLite-backed storage in `commonMain` (JVM, Android, iOS — uses the bundled
androidx.sqlite driver) with full NIP support (NIP-09, NIP-40, NIP-45, NIP-50,
NIP-62). All operations are `suspend`:
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.store.sqlite.EventStore
val store = EventStore() // default DB file "events.db"
// Insert
store.insert(event)
// Query
val events = store.query<Event>(
Filter(authors = listOf(pubKey), kinds = listOf(1), limit = 50)
)
// Count (NIP-45)
val count = store.count(Filter(kinds = listOf(1)))
// Full-text search (NIP-50)
val results = store.query<Event>(Filter(search = "bitcoin"))
```
---
## 15. NIP-11 Relay Information Document
If you're standing up a relay on Quartz's relay-server code, serve your NIP-11
document with the **type-safe builder** — don't hand-write the JSON string.
**Package:** `com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip11RelayInfo`
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip11RelayInfo.Nip11RelayInformation
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip11RelayInfo.relayInformation
val info =
relayInformation {
name = "sot"
description = "NIP-50 profile search ranked by Nostr web-of-trust"
software = "https://github.com/vitorpamplona/sot"
version = "0.1"
supports(1, 11, 42, 50) // ints → spec-compliant [1,11,42,50] in the JSON
}
val json = info.toJson() // null/empty fields are omitted
```
Serve it at the relay root, branching on the `Accept` header (Ktor example):
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip11RelayInfo.Nip11RelayInformation
import io.ktor.http.ContentType
get("/") {
val accept = call.request.headers[HttpHeaders.Accept].orEmpty()
if (accept.contains(Nip11RelayInformation.CONTENT_TYPE)) { // "application/nostr+json"
call.respondText(json, ContentType.parse(Nip11RelayInformation.CONTENT_TYPE))
} else {
call.respondText("Open a WebSocket (NIP-01) or send Accept: ${Nip11RelayInformation.CONTENT_TYPE}")
}
}
```
### Nested objects, lists, and enforced limits
```kotlin
val info =
relayInformation {
name = "Paid Relay"
supports(1, 11, 42)
supportsExtensions("nip50-search") // supported_nip_extensions
countries("US", "CA") // relay_countries; also languages(...), tags(...)
nip50Features("profile_search") // the `nip50` field
// limitation { } — camelCase maps to NIP-11 snake_case fields
limitation {
maxSubscriptions = 20
maxFilters = 10
authRequired = true
}
// fees { } — each helper is repeatable
fees {
admission(amount = 1000, unit = "msats")
publication(amount = 100, unit = "msats", kinds = listOf(1, 30023))
}
// retention(...) — call once per policy entry
retention(kinds = listOf(0, 3), count = 1)
}
```
**Keep advertised limits in sync with enforced ones.** If you build a
`RelayLimits` for the server's policy chain, hand the *same* object to the
builder so what you publish can never drift from what you enforce:
```kotlin
import com.vitorpamplona.quartz.nip01Core.relay.server.policies.RelayLimits
val limits = RelayLimits(maxSubscriptions = 20, maxFilters = 10, maxLimit = 500, authRequired = true)
val info =
relayInformation {
name = "My Relay"
supports(1, 11, 42, 45)
limitation(limits) // == limits.toNip11Limitation()
}
```
To load an operator-supplied doc from disk or a string instead of building it,
use `Nip11RelayInformation.fromJson(json)`.
> `geode` (Quartz's standalone relay) builds its default document exactly this
> way — see `geode/.../RelayInfo.kt`.
