BitGo UTXO library (bitgo-utxo-lib)

Originally a fork of bitcoinjs-lib; we evolved this library to support the transaction building process of different UTXO based coins.

Supported coins

• Bitcoin
• Bitcoin Cash
• Bitcoin Gold
• Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Vision)
• Dash
• Litecoin
• Zcash (Sapling compatible)
• Groestlcoin

Features

• Clean: Pure JavaScript, concise code, easy to read.
• Tested: Coverage > 90%, third-party integration tests.
• Compatible: Works on Node.js and all modern browsers.
• Powerful: Support for advanced features, such as multi-sig, HD Wallets.
• Secure: Strong random number generation, PGP signed releases, trusted developers.
• Principled: No support for browsers with RNG (IE < 11)
• Standardized: Node community coding style, Browserify, Node's stdlib and Buffers.
• Experiment-friendly: Mainnet and Testnet support.
• Multicoin support: Configurable behaviour based on network objects.
• Backed by BitGo

Installation

npm install https://github.com/smdmitry/smdmitry-utxo-lib

Setup

Node.js

var bitGoUTXO = require('smdmitry-utxo-lib')

Browser

If you're familiar with how to use browserify, ignore this and proceed normally. These steps are advisory only, and may not be suitable for your application.

Browserify is assumed to be installed for these steps.

For your project, create an index.js file

let bitGoUTXO = require('smdmitry-utxo-lib')

// your code here
function myFunction () {
	return bitGoUTXO.ECPair.makeRandom().toWIF()
}

module.exports = {
	myFunction
}

Now, to compile for the browser:

browserify index.js --standalone foo > app.js

You can now put <script src="app.js" /> in your web page, using foo.myFunction to create a new Bitcoin private key.

NOTE: If you uglify the javascript, you must exclude the following variable names from being mangled: BigInteger, ECPair, Point. This is because of the function-name-duck-typing used in typeforce.

Example:

uglifyjs ... --mangle --reserved 'BigInteger,ECPair,Point'

NOTE: This library tracks Node LTS features, if you need strict ES5, use --transform babelify in conjunction with your browserify step (using an es2015 preset).

NOTE: If you expect this library to run on an iOS 10 device, ensure that you are using [email protected] or greater.

Examples

The below examples are implemented as integration tests, they should be very easy to understand. Otherwise, pull requests are appreciated. Some examples interact (via HTTPS) with a 3rd Party Blockchain Provider (3PBP).
