A pure and powerful JavaScript Dash library.

Dash is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Dash network allows for highly resilient Dash infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement Dash apps and services.

## Install

### NodeJS

```
npm install @dashevo/dashcore-lib
```

### Browser

#### CDN Standalone

```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@dashevo/dashcore-lib"></script>
<script>
  const { PrivateKey } = dashcore;
  const privateKey = new PrivateKey();
  const address = privateKey.toAddress().toString();
  ...
</script>
```

#### Building the Browser Bundle

To build a dashcore-lib full bundle for the browser:

```sh
npm run build
```

This will generate a file named `dashcore-lib.min.js` in the `dist/` folder.

## Usage

### Browser

```
<script src='./dist/dashcore-lib.min.js' type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
  const PrivateKey = dashcore.PrivateKey;
  const privateKey = new PrivateKey();
  const address = privateKey.toAddress().toString();
</script>
```

### Modules

Some functionality is implemented as a module that can be installed separately:

- [Payment Protocol Support](https://github.com/dashevo/dashcore-payment-protocol)
- [Peer to Peer Networking](https://github.com/dashevo/dashcore-p2p)
- [Dash Core JSON-RPC](https://github.com/dashevo/dashd-rpc)
- [Mnemonics](https://github.com/dashevo/dashcore-mnemonic)
- [Elliptical Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme](https://github.com/dashevo/bitcore-ecies-dash)
- [Signed Messages](https://github.com/dashevo/bitcore-message-dash)

### Development & Tests

```sh
git clone https://github.com/dashevo/dashcore-lib
cd dashcore-lib
npm install
```

Run all the tests:

```sh
npm test
```

You can also run just the Node.js tests with `npm run test:node`, just the browser tests with `npm run test:browser` or run a test coverage report with `npm run coverage`.
