valor-base v0.7.7
JS Valor Base
The valor-base library is the lowest-level valor helper library. It consists of classes to read, write, hash, and sign the xdr structures that are used in valor-core. This is an implementation in JavaScript that can be used on either Node.js or web browsers.
Warning! Node version of this package is using
ed25519
package, a native implementation of Ed25519 in Node.js, as an optional dependency. This means that if for any reason installation of this package fails,valor-base
will fallback to the much slower implementation contained intweetnacl
.If you are using
valor-base
in a browser you can ignore this. However, for production backend deployments you should definitely be usinged25519
. Ifed25519
is successfully installed and workingValorBase.FastSigning
variable will be equaltrue
. Otherwise it will befalse
.
Quick start
Using npm to include js-valor-base in your own project:
npm install --save valor-base
For browsers, use Bower to install it. It exports a
variable ValorBase
. The example below assumes you have valor-base.js
relative to your html file.
<script src="valor-base.js"></script>
<script>console.log(ValorBase);</script>
Install
To use as a module in a Node.js project
Install it using npm:
npm install --save valor-base
require/import it in your JavaScript:
var ValorBase = require('valor-base');
Note that this method relies using a third party to host the JS library. This may not be entirely secure.
