Validate QRL Address

Synopsis

An npm package to validate (and extract data from) QRL addresses.

The dist\validateQrlAddress.js file can be used within a web browser

Code Examples

where npm packages can be used:

var validate = require('@theqrl/validate-qrl-address');
var isValid = validate.hexString('Q01070050d31c7f123995f097bc98209e9231d663dc26e06085df55dc2f6afe3c2cd62e8271a6bd')
console.log(isValid.result);
console.log(isValid.sig.type);
console.log(isValid.sig.number);
console.log(isValid.hash.function);

=>

true
XMSS
16384
SHAKE-128

in the browser:

<script src="../dist/validateQrlAddress.js"></script>
<script>
var result = validateQrlAddress.hexString('Q01070050d31c7f123995f097bc98209e9231d663dc26e06085df55dc2f6afe3c2cd62e8271a6bd');
