SLP CashAddr.js: The new Bitcoin Cash address format for Node.js and web browsers.

NPM

JavaScript implementation for the new CashAddr address format for Bitcoin Cash and SLP.

Compliant with the original CashAddr specification which improves upon BIP 173.

Note: This is a JavaScript implementation of the CashAddr format specification. If you are looking for a general purpose Bitcoin Cash address translation library, check out the easy-to-use and well-tested BchAddr.js.

Installation

Using NPM

$ npm install --save cashaddrjs-slp

Using Bower

$ bower install --save cashaddrjs-slp

Manually

You may also download the distribution file manually and place it within your third-party scripts directory: dist/cashaddrjs-slp-0.2.12.min.js.

Usage

In Node.js

const cashaddr = require('cashaddrjs-slp');
const address = 'bitcoincash:qpm2qsznhks23z7629mms6s4cwef74vcwvy22gdx6a';
const { prefix, type, hash } = cashaddr.decode(address);
console.log(prefix); // 'bitcoincash'
console.log(type); // 'P2PKH'
console.log(hash); // Uint8Array [ 118, 160, ..., 115 ]
console.log(cashaddr.encode(prefix, type, hash)); // 'bitcoincash:qpm2qsznhks23z7629mms6s4cwef74vcwvy22gdx6a'

Note: This is a JavaScript implementation of the CashAddr format specification. If you are looking for an easy-to-use and well-tested library to translate between different formats, check out BchAddr.js.
