API
string encode(data, prefix = '00', encoding = 'hex')
data
must be a Buffer or a string
. It returns a string
.
example:
const base58check = require('base58check')
const data = '086eaa677895f92d4a6c5ef740c168932b5e3f44'
console.log(base58check.encode(data)) // => 1mayif3H2JDC62S4N3rLNtBNRAiUUP99k
{ prefix, data } decode(string, encoding)
string
must be a base 58 check encoded string. Returns a Object
for prefix & data.
example:
const base58check = require('base58check')
const address = '1mayif3H2JDC62S4N3rLNtBNRAiUUP99k'
console.log(base58check.decode(address))
// => { prefix: <Buffer 00>, data: <Buffer 08 6e aa 67 78 95 f9 2d 4a 6c 5e f7 40 c1 68 93 2b 5e 3f 44> }
// if using encoding
console.log(base58check.decode(address, 'hex'))
// => { prefix: '00', data: '086eaa677895f92d4a6c5ef740c168932b5e3f44' }
