Merge bitcoindevkit/bdk#969: Update documentation for fee_rate and fee_absolute methods in tx_builder.rs
e6519e3a52a1ab8023b5fdf423d8f748a3b0260d Enhance the documentation for the fee_rate and fee_absolute methods. (Jon Marrs)

Pull request description:

  ### Description

  This pr helps solve this issue: https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/issues/856

  I added documentation to the fee_rate() method to describe the units as either satoshis/vbyte (sats/vbyte) or satoshis/kwu (sats/kwu), depending on the FeeRate type.

  I also added documentation to the fee_absolute() method to clarify that the fee is determined by whichever method (fee_rate or fee_absolute) was called last, as the FeePolicy is an enum, and FeeRate/FeeAmount are mutually exclusive.

  ### Notes to the reviewers

  I thought it would be helpful to provide documentation to alleviate confusion over the fee_rate method and the fee_absolute method.

About

The bdk libraries aims to provide well engineered and reviewed components for Bitcoin based applications. It is built upon the excellent rust-bitcoin and rust-miniscript crates.

⚠ The Bitcoin Dev Kit developers are in the process of releasing a v1.0 which is a fundamental re-write of how the library works. See for some background on this project: https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/road-to-bdk-1/ (ignore the timeline 😁) For a release timeline see the BDK 1.0 project page.

Architecture

The project is split up into several crates in the /crates directory:

  • bdk: Contains the central high level Wallet type that is built from the low-level mechanisms provided by the other components
  • chain: Tools for storing and indexing chain data
  • file_store: A (experimental) persistence backend for storing chain data in a single file.
  • esplora: Extends the esplora-client crate with methods to fetch chain data from an esplora HTTP server in the form that bdk_chain and Wallet can consume.
  • electrum: Extends the electrum-client crate with methods to fetch chain data from an electrum server in the form that bdk_chain and Wallet can consume.

Fully working examples of how to use these components are in /example-crates:

  • example_cli: Library used by the example_* crates. Provides utilities for syncing, showing the balance, generating addresses and creating transactions without using the bdk Wallet.
  • example_electrum: A command line Bitcoin wallet application built on top of example_cli and the electrum crate. It shows the power of the bdk tools (chain + file_store + electrum), without depending on the main bdk library.
  • wallet_esplora_blocking: Uses the Wallet to sync and spend using the Esplora blocking interface.
  • wallet_esplora_async: Uses the Wallet to sync and spend using the Esplora asynchronous interface.
  • wallet_electrum: Uses the Wallet to sync and spend using Electrum.

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This library should compile with any combination of features with Rust 1.57.0.

To build with the MSRV you will need to pin dependencies as follows:

# log 0.4.19 has MSRV 1.60.0+
cargo update -p log --precise "0.4.18"
# tempfile 3.7.0 has MSRV 1.63.0+
cargo update -p tempfile --precise "3.6.0"
# rustls 0.21.2 has MSRV 1.60.0+
cargo update -p rustls:0.21.7 --precise "0.21.1"
# rustls 0.20.9 has MSRV 1.60.0+
cargo update -p rustls:0.20.9 --precise "0.20.8"
# tokio 1.30 has MSRV 1.63.0+
cargo update -p tokio:1.32.0 --precise "1.29.1"
# flate2 1.0.27 has MSRV 1.63.0+
cargo update -p flate2:1.0.27 --precise "1.0.26"
# reqwest 0.11.19 has MSRV 1.63.0+
cargo update -p reqwest --precise "0.11.18"
# h2 0.3.21 has MSRV 1.63.0+
cargo update -p h2 --precise "0.3.20"
# rustls-webpki has MSRV 1.60.0+
cargo update -p rustls-webpki --precise "0.100.1"
