# Example

// generate a new key
KeyPair key1 = Bip340.generatePrivateKey();

// login using private key
ndk.accounts
    .loginPrivateKey(privkey: key1.privateKey!, pubkey: key1.publicKey);

// broadcast a new event using the logged in account with it's signer to sign
NdkBroadcastResponse response = ndk.broadcast.broadcast(
    nostrEvent: Nip01Event(
        pubKey: key1.publicKey,
        kind: Nip01Event.kTextNodeKind,
        tags: [],
        content: "test"),
    specificRelays: DEFAULT_BOOTSTRAP_RELAYS);
await response.broadcastDoneFuture;

// logout

# When to use

Use it to log in an account. You can use several types of accounts:

loginPrivateKey
loginPublicKey (read-only)
loginExternalSigner (capabilities will be managed by external signer)

An account logged in is needed in order to use broadcast, and only if the signer used is able to sign.

You can switch between several logged in accounts with switchAccount(pubkey:...)
