x-address-codec-ext

This is a meta package, that exposes an api factory. It's really not as boring as it sounds. We only ask you bring your own hash (create-hash, crypto) to the party, as we already provide a free base-x codec for your heavy lifting pleasure. At the party, mostly people just stand around and encode/decode crypto coin address strings to bytes and back. Thrilling right? We currently serve these alphabets. Make a pull request if you'd like to add one to the menu.

• ripple

• tipple

• bitcoin

• stellar

• chainsql

```js var apiFactory = require('../'); var createHash = require('create-hash'); var api = apiFactory({ // We probably have your favorite alphabet, if not, contact us defaultAlphabet: 'stellar', // But we insist you bring your own hash to the party :) sha256: function(bytes) {

return createHash('sha256').update(new Buffer(bytes)).digest();

}, // We'll endow your api with encode|decode for you codecMethods : {

// public keys

AccountID : {version: 0x00},

// secrets

Seed: {version: 0x21}

}, // Why the hell don't we just export these versions too? // Err.. Shutup :) We're getting to it. }); var buf = new Buffer("00000000000000000000000000000000", 'hex'); // It can encode a Buffer var encoded = api.encodeSeed(buf); // It returns Array var decoded = api.decodeSeed(encoded); // It can of course encode an Array too var reencoded = api.encodeSeed(decoded) console.log(encoded); console.log(reencoded); // ps6JS7f14BuwFY8Mw6bTtLKWauoUp // ps6JS7f14BuwFY8Mw6bTtLKWauoUp console.log(decoded); // 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ```

We could actually encode the seed as a ripple one if we chose :)

```js console.log(api.encode(decoded, {alphabet: 'ripple', version: 33})); // sp6JS7f14BuwFY8Mw6bTtLKWauoUs ```

Wait, what if we wanted to create a prefix for the new nifty spaceMan secrets?

```js var prefix = api.codecs.stellar.findPrefix(16 / bytes /, 'spaceMan'); var spacey = api.encode(decoded, {version: prefix}); console.log(spacey); // spaceMan7qBfYEUBHSWDsZjJHctnNQi2pCTn console.log(api.decode(spacey, {version: prefix})); // 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ```

You may as well make a little mini module, and export it :)

```js module.exports = api; ```

Hell, you could even npm publish it :)

```bash $ npm publish ```

Anway, what is actually exported here?

```js console.log(api) / { Codec: Function: AddressCodec, codecs:

{ bitcoin:

{ alphabet: '123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz',

codec: [Object],

base: 58 },

ripple:

{ alphabet: 'rpshnaf39wBUDNEGHJKLM4PQRST7VWXYZ2bcdeCg65jkm8oFqi1tuvAxyz',

tipple:

{ alphabet: 'RPShNAF39wBUDnEGHJKLM4pQrsT7VWXYZ2bcdeCg65jkm8ofqi1tuvaxyz',
