Create invoice

[majdamasoud]

Some new features for the playground:

• Create custom invoices
• Have custom invoices show up when you click pay an invoice, and by clicking on them you can pay them
• Console now no longer clears when refreshed, theres a button that can do that if you want
• newest responses goes at the top of console

Thanks for the PR!

as we plan to provide this as a hosted version for people to test on https://website.regtest.getalby.com/ I somehow think the persistence is a bit confusing.
People will then see the console output and invoices from others.
why did you want to persist those and not only just show them on the site? or maybe within the browser using local storage?

hej, wanted to follow up on this. let me know if I can be of any help.

You should not use global variables.
If I understand your code correct, then here a global variable is defined with an invoice object. Then the user is redirected to / on / a template is rendered that uses that global variable and then that global variable is set to null again.

But think about what happens if two or more users use the app at the same time. Then that one global variable is shared among all users and they overwrite each other.

I think generally no global variables should be used. HTTP is stateless and when build web apps we need to respect that.

I think something like this should be good enough:
let newInvoice = <%- JSON.stringify(newInvoice) %>;
