Banano URI Generator

Banano URI Generator is a simple library for generating URIs for the Banano cryptocurrency. It currently supports URIs for sending to an address, changing the representative to an address, importing a private key, and importing a seed.

The code is based on great nano-uri-generator library by Alec Rios.

Examples

Generate an URI for sending Banano to an address:

import { getSendURI } from 'banano-uri-generator';

const bananoAddress = 'ban_3x9zbabf15c7sg6raiytndyf45tbwhtoedocz5gcp4n84hydti87ysj849fk';
const amount = '10000000000000000000000000000';
const label = 'Developer Fund';

getSendURI(bananoAddress, amount, label);
// banano:ban_3x9zbabf15c7sg6raiytndyf45tbwhtoedocz5gcp4n84hydti87ysj849fk?amount=10000000000000000000000000000&label=Developer%20Fund

Generate an URI for changing the representative to an address:

import { getChangeRepURI } from 'banano-uri-generator';

const bananoAddress = 'ban_3x9zbabf15c7sg6raiytndyf45tbwhtoedocz5gcp4n84hydti87ysj849fk';
const label = 'Banano Representative';

getChangeRepURI(bananoAddress, label);
// bananorep:ban_3x9zbabf15c7sg6raiytndyf45tbwhtoedocz5gcp4n84hydti87ysj849fk?label=Banano%20Representative

QR Code Generation

To convert an URI to a QR code (using a library such as qrcode):

import { getSendURI } from 'banano-uri-generator';
import QRCode from 'qrcode';

const uri = getSendURI('ban_3x9zbabf15c7sg6raiytndyf45tbwhtoedocz5gcp4n84hydti87ysj849fk');
const svg = QRCode.toString(uri, {type: 'svg'});
