API

validate (address [, currency = 'bitcoin'[, networkType = 'prod']])

Parameters

• address - Wallet address to validate.
• currency - Optional. Currency name or symbol, e.g. 'bitcoin' (default), 'litecoin' or 'LTC'
• networkType - Optional. Use 'prod' (default) to enforce standard address, 'testnet' to enforce testnet address and 'both' to enforce nothing.
• chainType - Optional. Specify the chainType, eg 'ethereum'. If the given currency is not found but the chainType is, the validator for that chainType will be used, thus allowing unspecified tokens to be validated.

Returns true if the address (string) is a valid wallet address for the crypto currency specified, see below for supported currencies.

else
	console.log('Address INVALID');

// This will log 'This is a valid address' to the console.

var WAValidator = require('multicoin-address-validator');

var valid = WAValidator.validate('0xdbF03B407c01E7cD3CBea99509d93f8DDDC8C6FB', 'UNKNOWN TOKEN', {chainType: 'ethereum'});
