Nostr Components

Embed Nostr anywhere on the internet, a Zap Button for every webpage.

About the Project

Nostr Components makes it easy to embed Zap button, Nostr profiles, posts, and follow buttons in any website. Inspired by fiatjaf's Nostr Web Components, this project adds a beautiful UI, a Storybook component generator (for webmasters), and allows embedding Nostr content anywhere on the Internet.

Usage

Quick Start

Option 1: CDN (Recommended for Quick Integration)

Add the component script to your HTML's <head>. Each component can be loaded individually or use the full bundle.

<head>
  <!-- Load individual component (recommended for smaller bundles) -->
  <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nostr-components@latest/dist/components/nostr-profile.es.js"></script>
  
  <!-- Or load the full bundle: ES -->
  <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nostr-components@latest/dist/nostr-components.es.js"></script>

  <!-- Or load the full bundle: UMD -->
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nostr-components@latest/dist/nostr-components.umd.js"></script>

  <!-- Optional: Dark theme -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nostr-components@latest/dist/themes/dark.css">
</head>
<body>
  <h1> Welcome to My home page </h1>
  <nostr-zap-button nip05="saiy2k@iris.to" url="https://nostr-components.web.app/"></nostr-zap-button>
  <nostr-profile npub="npub1qsvv5ttv6mrlh38q8ydmw3gzwq360mdu8re2vr7rk68sqmhmsh4svhsft3"></nostr-profile>
  <nostr-like-button></nostr-like-button>

  <!-- For more components, see below -->
</body>

Option 2: NPM Package

Install the package via npm:

npm install nostr-components

Then import components in your JavaScript/TypeScript:

// [Will update here soon for individual components]

// Or import the full bundle
import 'nostr-components';

Authentication

All interactive components (Follow, Like, Zap) require user authentication. Components lazily load window.nostr.js on first interaction, which supports:

  • NIP-07 Browser Extensions (Alby, nos2x, etc.)
  • NIP-46 Remote Signers (Bunkers)

No host-page setup is required. Users can connect with an existing signer or through the floating window.nostr.js widget when prompted.


1. Nostr Zap

A Zap button that sends sats to a Nostr user and can optionally scope those zaps to a specific URL for open-web attribution. When url is provided, the component uses a deterministic ["a", "39735:<pubkey>:<normalized_url>"] tag so relays can apply URL-specific #a filtering when fetching zap receipts. What is Zap?

Usage:

<head>
  <script 
    type="module" 
    src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nostr-components@latest/dist/components/nostr-zap-button.es.js">
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <nostr-zap-button 
    npub="npub1qsvv5ttv6mrlh38q8ydmw3gzwq360mdu8re2vr7rk68sqmhmsh4svhsft3"
    data-theme="dark"
    url="https://nostr-components.web.app/"
    text="⚡ Zap Me"
  ></nostr-zap-button>
</body>

3. Nostr Like

    type="module" 
    src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/nostr-components@latest/dist/components/nostr-like-button.es.js">

</head>
<body>
  <!-- Like the current page URL -->
  <nostr-like-button></nostr-like-button>

  <!-- Like a specific URL with custom text -->
  <nostr-like-button 
    url="https://github.com/saiy2k/nostr-components"

🛠️ Development

npm Installation Notes (Windows / newer npm versions)

If you encounter dependency resolution errors (ERESOLVE) when running npm install with newer versions of npm, use:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps


### Storybook Setup

This project uses Storybook for component development and testing. The setup includes both public showcase stories and private testing stories.

**Development Commands:**

```bash
# Start Storybook in development mode (includes testing stories)
npm run storybook

# Build Storybook for production (excludes testing stories)
STORYBOOK_ENV=production npm run build-storybook

Story Organization:

  • Public Stories: Showcase stories for component demos and documentation
  • Testing Stories: Private stories for development testing (excluded from production builds)

The production build automatically excludes all testing stories to keep the public Storybook clean and focused on showcasing components.
