address-encoder
This typescript library encodes and decodes address formats for various cryptocurrencies.
Text-format addresses are decoded into their native binary representations, and vice-versa. In the case of Bitcoin-derived chains, this means their scriptPubKey; for Energi-derived chains this is their hash.
This library was written for use with EIP 2304, but may be useful for anyone looking for a general purpose cryptocurrency address codec.
Installation
Using NPM
npm install --save @ensdomains/address-encoder
Usage
import { formatsByName, formatsByCoinType } from '@ensdomains/address-encoder';
const data = formatsByName['BTC'].decoder('1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa');
console.log(data.toString('hex')); // 76a91462e907b15cbf27d5425399ebf6f0fb50ebb88f1888ac
const addr = formatsByCoinType[0].encoder(data);
console.log(addr); // 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
